Mika Statement, Dems, decided very early on from day one, that they were going to put their short-term political interests ahead of what was good for our country? really? Liberal women, so lost in space, it un real!
MSNBC’s Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski gave an fawning interview to former Obama Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett Thursday morning in a harsh reminder of just how differently reporters treated the Obama Administration compared to the current administration. Mika couldn’t contain her excitement at getting to talk to Jarrett even begging the former advisor repeatedly to get herself, Michelle or Barack involved in politics again, to “save the party.”
She began the sympathetic interview by empathizing how “rough” election night was for Democrats. She cooed to Jarrett, “There were some rough -- I mean, election night, what was that like for you?
After
Jarrett answered that it was “gut-wrenching” but work still had to be
done so they needed to move on, the MSNBC host harped on the election
night “devastation” again:
I still, though, wonder like, is there any flash in time, election night or in the days after, God, I saw some brutal pictures of some really devastated faces, could you ever have imagined and was there a moment when you realized the next president is going to be the man who rose to power on the birther movement, of all things?
Though
there’s no denying Trump did help spread birther conspiracies prior to
his campaign, so did Hillary Clinton. Her campaign was actually the
first to raise these conspiracy theories during the 2008 election when she was running against then Senator Obama.
Mika
then asked Jarrett what she wish she’d known before her first days in
the White House. Jarrett responded with a scathing rebuke of “partisan”
Republicans who had obstructed Obama from “day one” and were “terrified”
at giving the “power back” to the “hands of the American people.”
Mika then begged Jarrett in a series of questions for her to run or Michelle Obama.As you heard President Obama say before he left, one of his biggest disappointments was this toxic nature in Washington and how I think the Republicans decided very early on from day one, that they were going to put their short-term political interests ahead of what was good for our country. Just think about it Mika. When President Obama took office we were losing 750,000, 800,000 jobs a month, the unemployment rate up to 10%. Wouldn't you think that's a time where people would say let's come together and try to solve these big problems. I think I just didn't fully appreciate coming in just how the entrenched special interests would hold on with a stranglehold to that status quo and that change, it was terrifying to them and it meant giving up power and putting it back in the hands of the American people and there was a lot of resistance to that.
Is it possible to have an impact post-White house and is there a political future for you? There was once potential Senate run?
After
Jarrett said that she was more interested in encouraging the next
generation to run for political office, an earnest Mika wondered,
“What about encouraging your friend Michele [Obama]?”
Mika then sympathetically asked Jarrett, “When you see the attacks on his legacy, do you get angry?”
Not
a terrible question in and of itself but it’s nearly impossible to
imagine Mika asking Karl Rove this same question about Bush.
Mika also asked Jarrett what she thought about the “amazing” “Women’s March”
and what the “next” step was. She ended the interview by begging
Jarrett again to persuade the former president to get involved in
politics again.
