During Friday's edition of Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski again tore into Bret Baier, not buying the Fox host's excuses about airing the wrong clip in his interview with the Vice President.
Bret Baier's interview with Kamala Harris was heavily criticized for a variety of reasons. One of the most popular reasons was that he (intentionally?) played an improper clip when asking Harris about Trump's comments.
Brzezinski was one of the most ferocious critics of Baier who apologized yesterday on Fox saying he mistakenly aired the wrong clip. The Morning Joe host wasn't buying it though, remarking:
"I'm calling it a lie. Bret Baier chose to cover it up and then didn't clean it up for 24 hours. As I said earlier, in TV news, hosts and producers know immediately when a clip is wrong. Kamala Harris knew the clip is wrong. This was live to tape, so they even had time to clean it up when the interview aired, which actually makes it worse."
The pundit continued:
"They all knew. they had time to correct this, but they wanted her righteous anger in context, which was absolutely the normal reaction, to 8.2 million Americans being misled," she continued. "But what did Bret do instead of correcting this? He hid the ball. He hid the truth. He did what Donald Trump would have wanted him to do."
Brzezinski closed, "Call that malice aforethought. Anybody on that show, they knew what they were doing. They let it go for 24 hours and did a very weak, light, quick apology and never really addressed it."
