85 On Wednesday, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said that “Just like Fox” Univision and Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos was lecturing GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, not asking him questions.
After fellow co-host former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough stated, “he gave a lecture, he wasn’t asking a question. And i don’t know what politician would have been — actually I wouldn’t have been that patient with him. I would have said, ‘You got a question?'” Brzezinski added, “Just like Fox, the debate.”
Panelist Mike Barnicle added that Ramos was engaging in a “debate” with Trump, not a Q&A. Scarborough added, “He doesn’t ask him a question from the very beginning, Willie, he’s lecturing him. You can’t do this, you can’t do that you can’t — I’m sorry, I think he was a lot more patient actually than Barack Obama would have been if somebody — Barack Obama, rightly would not allowed somebody to stand up and lecture him that long. Ask a question.”
Later, Brzezinski added that Ramos, “jumped in at the top, and he started delivering a little bit of a lecture, or at least kind of — clearly had a position that he was intent on pushing.” She also said Trump didn’t order anyone thrown out, but that his staff escorted Ramos out and then Trump brought Ramos back in. She concluded, “I thought it was brilliantly played by Trump.”

This guy is a master at getting his message out.
Agreed, we have switched to OANN almost exclusively since the “debate” debacle. FNC has been on the way out for quite some time, but 8/6 was the nail in the coffin for us.
Mika is saying well played while Megyn was trashing him last night for throwing out an important member of the media. Fox has turned into a 24/7 Trump bashfest.
Pray America is waking
Every program I’ve seen Ramos on he just won’t shut up. His questions are never ending and if he doesn’t like the first 5 seconds of an answer he just keeps on talking, answering the question the way he wanted it answered.
If Ramos is expecting to gain regular Americans support, it’s not working.
Yep, MK, Stephy, et al all concerned that this nut was escorted out. idiots.
“Ha ha—is Trump winning Mika over?”
Nah, she’s just taking advantage of the situation to take a poke at Fox!
“If Fox does not change, they will go the way of CNN in ratings.”
Can’t happen soon enough for me. Fool me once, shame on them, fool me twice, shame on me. They’ve already fooled me more than once.
He was being disruptive. Another reporter had been called on.
Donald has the hots for Megyn?
Like the illegals, Ramos cut in line and did not give a damn about the rules.
Geaux Pearland, TX”
You bet. Too bad we’re not having the game broadcast on one of our local channels. Bringing a lot of publicity to Pearland which we locals would just as soon it didn’t. Way too many people moved here in the last few years. LOL
WGAS what Meeeka says.
“Ha ha—is Trump winning Mika over?”
No way, more like Trump isn’t polling well vs Cancklebeast.
What are you talking about? He’s doing great.
(And he’ll probably be facing Joe and Liz anyway.)
You could see “Presidential” in the way Trump handled Ramos ... didn’t fly off the handle, was calm but yet respectful & demanded it back plus he didn’t get flustered and he didn’t back down - speak softly, carry a big stick ... came across as strong. The “timeout” Ramos got was effective for Ramos & the other reporters who I’m sure will make sure they are respectful (at least in Trump’s presence) in the future.
I think Mika has a school girl crush on Trump. All googly eyed.
Scarborough must be off the bottle. he’s actually sounding like a republican on recent shows. He may have a man crush on Trump also.
Yes! Trump obviously does not suffer fools gladly so the pompous a@#%holes that run circles around some interviewees won’t stand a chance against the “Donald”......lol
Half U.S., half Mexican citizen Jorge Ramos was thrown out for being disrespectful, namely, when Trump called on a different reporter on the other side of the room, Jorge interrupted and then wouldn’t shut up. It’s as simple as that. I for one am tired of seeing the kommiemedia trying to bully candidates they don’t like and watching the candidates take their beatings like good little momma’s boys. Trump as least has the huevos to fight back. GO TRUMP!
Heck, Hillary won’t even let the press get within shouting distance of her, and that seems to be ok with the kommiemedia. Go figure.
[BTW, Jorge, you CLAIM to be a journalist, that is, one who REPORTS what’s happening; that’s not the same thing as having a “right” to “challenge” a candidate whom you disagree with.Now you’re advocating that ALL journalists denounce Trump? So, that’s YOUR idea of a “journalist”? Someone who denounces people when they’re pretending to be interviewing them? The latter is what an activist does,not a journalist. So, now at least the mask has officially been pulled away for you, namely, you are NOT actually a journalist, but an activist POSING as a journalist. AND more and more people are starting to see why the rest of us have held so-called “journalists” in such low regard for so long. Namely, most “journalists” are simply activist poseurs, and 99.99% are members of the kommiemedia. Oh, and any so-called “journalist” organization that supports Ramos’ behavior simply shows that they too are nothing but activist poseurs as well.]
