MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski issued an apology after a segment on 'Morning Joe' where David Frum mocked Fox News and Pete Hegseth, comparing the situation to the failed nomination of John Tower for secretary of defense in 1989 due to his drinking issues.
Wednesday, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski apologized following an early “ Morning Joe ” segment in which The Atlantic’s David Frum mocked Fox News and Pete Hegseth .
Frum said, “Well, just given what one sees on camera, if you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed. In 1989, President George H. W. Bush nominated John Tower, senator from Texas, for secretary of defense. Tower was a very considerable person, a real defense intellectual, someone who deeply understood defense, unlike the current nominee.
Later in the show, Brzezinski said, “And before we go to break or a little bit earlier in this block, there was a comment made about Fox News in our coverage about Pete and the growing number of allegations about his behavior over the years and possible addiction to alcohol or issues with alcohol. The comment was a little too flippant for this moment that we’re in. We just want to make that comment as well. We want to make that clear.
