On Thursday, the panel on MSNBC’s Morning Joe dog piled author Michael Wolff for propagating an unfounded rumor that President Trump had been having an affair with his ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley. The confrontation became so heated that the show’s co-anchor Mika Brzezinski eventually cut the interview short and asked Wolff to leave.
Michael Wolff became a media fixation in January upon publishing his anti-Trump book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Following the controversial book’s release, he appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, where he claimed that President Trump was having an affair. Although he did not identify the President’s supposed mistress in the book, readers have surmised that he was subtly pointing to Haley, whom the book describes ashaving spendint considerable time alone with Trump aboard Air Force One. Ambassador Haley has soundly denied this rumor.
'Morning Joe' Panel Slams Wolff for Spreading Rumor About Haley Having Affair With Trump
After a brief discussion about Mark Corallo, the spokesman for the President’s legal team during the 2016 election, political strategist Susan Del Percio turned the conversation on the Morning Joe set to the issue of Wolff’s the allegations about Haley: “After a lot of rumors came out, it was speculation that you meant Nikki Haley and you said she's embraced it.”
Del Percio asked whether Wolff found it inappropriate to “go after her without any evidence, without any facts. It just seems that is so irresponsible.” Wolff denied that he’d gone after Haley. “Certainly what I meant was I found it puzzling that she would deny something she was not accused of.”
Mika Brzezinski then joined the fray, attacking not just the allegation but the entirety of Wolff’s book: “Let’s put this next question on the entire credibility of your book, which was written really quickly.” “Excuse me?” asked a perturbed Wolff. “Your book,” she snapped. “Let’s put it on this next question. Do you regret inferring anything about Nikki Haley?”
Wolff once again denied having implied anything about Haley, which led to a brief back-and-forth in which Brzezinski repeatedly leveled the same accusation and Wolff continuously denied it.
Finally, Brzezinski lost her patience: “Are you kidding? You're on the set of Morning Joe. We don't BS here.”
When Wolff responded with a request that Brzezinski read him the language of the quote she had been referring to, she abruptly ended the segment.
The interview was a far cry from Morning Joe’s previous coverage of Wolff’s book. In early January, Scarborough vehemently defended Fire and Fury against critics. “Through the weekend you would find somebody who’d say, ‘Oh, that's not true,’ as if that’s going to discredit the entire book,” he reasoned. “...When the truth is, we all know the portrait painted by Michael Wolff’s book is deadly accurate.”
At the time, Brzezinski was in full agreement. “If it rings true, it is true,” she quipped.
Curiously, on Thursday, Scarborough raised no objection when his co-host asserted that the credibility of Wolff’s entire book rested on the veracity of his claims about Nikki Haley.
hahahaha.
Poor Mika. She had to choose between #METOO and #RESIST and went with the wimmen. She kept her woman card, but further discredited the “book”. Winning!
You’re on the set of Morning Joe. We don’t BS here.”
Fire and Fury, right there on the set.
Seems appropriate.
They sure do, don’t they?
1st off why’d they invite a fraud on to begin with? Maybe the 2 nut jobs decided this is how they’d back away from swallowing all his BS to begin with!
So sanctimonious from someone who abandoned her family to sleep with Joe.
This is too funny. First, MSM heavily promotes Wolff and Fire and Fury, and HRC reads from it at the Grammy’s last Sunday. Then, Wolff suggests an affair between DJT and Nikki Haley (completely bogus and denied by Nikki), Wolff appears on Morning Joe and Mika kicks him off the stage!
Didn’t she read?:
“Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book.”
Even deranged Michael Wolff is blasting Crazy Mika now. Sad!
Finally, Brzezinski lost her patience: “Are you kidding? You’re on the set of Morning Joe. We don’t BS here.”

That statement is a lie, wrapped in a fib, inside a deception;
To the discredit of Hillary! who quoted from the book at the Grammy’s.
Oh, and to the discredit of Cher, Snoopy, Cardi B, John Legend and DJ Khaled.
All busted.
Michael Wolf, or no Michael Wolf, Mika is off her meds.
Just yesterday, in one of her other flame-throwing fits of narcissism, like a Dunce she bashed Luntz (who was never a Trump supporter) simply for his lauding the president’s out-of-the-park speech!
I’m going to agree with old muck raker Wolf that Mika is not beneath inviting people on the show just to cause a scene, get crazy and show off, to raise her profile with Democrats on the Hill and to boost her Leftist cred with these Anti-American Democrats and with her New York crowd.
Mika is stressed out that she and her squeeze can not single-handedly take TRUMP out, while he successfully rolls Congress, Obama, Clinton, the ABC departments, and the Media Complex, all under their control.
Why wasn’t Hillary there with him to read excerpts from his book?
Fake, but accurate, Mika?
MSM pushed this book without letup for weeks, despite its inaccuracies and outright falsehoods. Now come morning after regrets, and trying to reestablish competence and credibility.
IOW's, Mika's walking it back to appear "balanced"
Michael Wolff has an inappropriate sexual fetish for baby lemurs, he eats yogurt that’s been expired for several weeks, he has a picture of David Hasselhoff stapled above his bed, he thinks the Podesta brothers have fine taste in art, he’s been known to tremble at the sight of Hillary Clinton’s bare thighs, he has a disturbing fascination for the tastes of his own toe jam, he likes to cruise the local elementary schools for dates, and the degenerate even puts ketchup on hot dogs!
Hey, if it rings true it’s true!
Mika and Joe thought they would be great friends with the Trumpster but he blew them off. No one does that to the hosts of Morning Joe without getting their full wrath. Their show is a joke, albeit a not very funny one.
What if it rings BS?
Does that mean it's BS?
