Mika Brzezinski, co-host of the Morning Joe show on MSNBC was mugged as she exited an upscale Washington D.C. hotel yesterday. Joe Scarborough was livid.
Mika is apparently embarrassed and didn’t want Joe to give the details to viewers but that didn’t stop her working partner from unleashing a rant. He reported that a guy walked across the street straight for her and demanded $20 and nothing would happen to her. All she had was $6. Joe was disgusted that the doorman wasn’t policing the immediate area outside of the hotel.
Scarborough’s morning guest just happened to be D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty. Put on the spot, he told Joe that the incident would be investigated. “This is what mayors do. We are going to look at it and work with the hotel and the police department.”
Apparently Brzezinski wasn’t holding any grudges as evidenced by her on-air comments after the fact. Check out photos and video below:
