'An insult to every woman': MSNBC's Mika goes off on Nikki Haley for blowing off rape
January 18, 2024
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brezinski went on a long rant Thursday aimed at former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) for refusing to acknowledge that Donald Trump has been found liable of sexually assaulting New York writer E. Jean Carroll.
In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Haley claimed she was oblivious to the details of the widely reported Trump defamation case that is ongoing in New York as she and the ex-president battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
In an earlier segment on "Morning Joe," the entire panel expressed disgust with Haley's waffling after she claimed, "All I know is that he’s innocent until proven guilty, and when he’s proven guilty, and he’s sitting in a courtroom — that’s exactly what I’m talking about. You’ve got investigations on Trump and Biden.”
Picking up on that again, Brezinski stated, "Well, I'm going to take it back to Nikki Haley not answering questions. I think one of the reasons is because she doesn't have a truthful, correct answer."

"That answer with [CNN's] Dana Bash was really — as a woman, that hurt to watch. That hurt. That's an insult to every woman in America, that she could not stand up to that question and answer it with the truth," she continued. "We're talking about a man — and, yes, I'm going to use the word, okay? We're talking about a man who bragged on tape, not knowing he was being taped, I think it was the 'Access Hollywood' tape, about grabbing women by their vaginas. I'm not kidding; you see the tape, he bragged about it."
"This is a man who had sex with a porn star and paid her off and there's litigation over that, whether campaign finance money was used," she continued. "This is not a good man when it comes to women. This is a misogynist, this is a sexist. This is a man who makes fun of women's looks, who makes a kind of sport to go after women and bring them down on social media."
"He's a vile sexist," she added. "Nikki Haley not just let herself down there but many others. I think it seeps through when she only kicks sideways and she doesn't kick forward against what is wrong."
