MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski teared up as she condemned President Donald Trump's wife and daughter for failing to stand up to his sexist bullying.
The "Morning Joe" co-host called out Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump for silently standing by while the president sexually harassed a Democratic senator -- and she hammered White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for defending the rude tweet.
"The president should have taken it down, the president should have apologized if he didn't take it down," Brzezinski said. "He should have apologized for hurting Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)'s feelings, at the very least. But he should have apologized for being a sexist pig, for sexually harassing on Twitter, for using sex to denigrate women."
Brzezinski, who has been the target of Trump's sexist abuse herself, said the president was obviously "obsessed" with women who reject him -- and she singled out his wife as complicit.
"He has some special problem with women and the women around him, his wife, who has a platform against cyber bullying -- that's a joke," Brzezinski said.
"That is the saddest thing I've ever seen in this White House ever in my life," Brzezinski continued, her eyes welling with tears, "and his daughter, who came to Washington to work for the president and develop a platform for women, go home. Go home. You are doing nothing if you stand by this president, and you should think of the country rather than your brand."
She next turned her attention to Sanders, a frequent target of her criticism.
"I'll tell you right now, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I feel sorry for you," Brzezinski said. "I seriously support new your quest for truth, in your quest for goodness, in your quest for love of country, because you haven't made it there yet."
Brzezinski shamed all of the president's enablers.
"I'm not talking about the women in the White House, I'm talking about the entire White House -- all the men around this president," she said. "Do you really go home to your wives and daughters and say, 'This president know what is he's doing, this president stands up for women?' Do you do that? Your wives should kick you out."
