Morning Joe co-host pounces on JD Vance's comment about his wife: 'So messed up'
Vice President JD Vance’s use of his relationship with his wife Usha to explain differing opinions about Donald Trump’s ceasefire chaos set off a tirade by MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski on Thursday morning as she could not contain her disgust.
Speaking with reporters at the end of his overseas trip, Vance was asked about Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf of the Iranian Parliament who stated that his country’s 10-point proposal to end the war included “Iran’s right to enrichment.”
Standing on the airport tarmac, Vance glibly replied, “I thought to myself, you know what? My wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn’t jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement that she’s not going to do that because I don’t want my wife jumping out of an airplane.”
After watching the clip, Brzezinski blurted, “I'm just –– I really don't want to hear about women's rights, and rights and women from JD Vance.”
“If that's your takeaway,” Joe Scarborough dryly joked.
“Don't start the morning that way,” his “Morning Joe” co-host shot back before adding, “So messed up.”
“That was such a confusing analogy, my teeth hurt right now. I'm still trying to figure it out,” Scarborough offered.
“Yeah,” co-host Willie Geist interjected. “I also didn't know you were allowed to give your wife rules of things she can't do. I need to write a few down now how we operate.”
“Women across America have rules that I never grew up with that kill them, so that's where we are,” the fuming Brzezinski bitterly stated.
