Mika Brzezinski Fires at Michael Eric Dyson for ‘White Supremacist’ Comment

Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski defended former Gotham Mayor Rudy Giuliani for his comments about black-on-black crime and chided fellow MSNBC-er Michael Eric Dyson for alleging that Giuliani’s comments were indicative of the “defensive mechanism of white supremacy in your mind.”

“In places like this and on Meet the Press, there should be room for a conversation to happen,” Brzezinski said. “As Wes pointed out, Mayor Giuliani made a point that was legitimate. It may not be the most popular one, it may not be the one you want to go on for an hour about. But there are different facets to the story that are of concern. We can’t be seizing upon each other and calling them white supremacists or everything else and lowering the conversation immediately. It can’t happen.”
