Mika Plays Defense As 'Morning Joe' Blasts Biden's French Submarine Fiasco
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On Wednesday, Morning Joe — in the persons of Joe Scarborough, Richard Haass, Anne Gearan, and Willie Geist — tore into Biden's mishandling of the cancellation of Australia's submarine-building contract with France in favor of one with the US.

But Biden had one, lonely, backer: Mika Brzezinski. She piped up throughout the long segment, doing her best to defend Biden. Brzezinski expressed doubt as to whether the US, UK, and Australia really went behind France's back. She said the situation isn't "black and white"—to which Scarborough shot back, "it is black and white." She suggested France should have known there was a problem with their subs. She claimed there was "more to the story."

At one point, Scarborough mocked Mika, saying, "I know you're doing your best," to defend Biden.

I understand the french conversion/contract has been a fiasco of mismanagement and missed "deadlines".

It was a a program with a series of delays and difficulties. There were several "gates" where the Australians could exit the deal. Australia chose to execute an exit at one of those.

No contract was broken.

They were way behind schedule and way over budget. Bad deal from the start for Oz, negotiated by a useless lefty Turnbull years ago.
