‘Bannon has to go or I’m gone:’ MSNBC’s Mika begs ‘great leaders’ to protect ‘this country from this president’

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski is worried President Donald Trump will lead the United States down a very dark path unless someone in his administration is willing to speak up.

She led a panel Tuesday on “Morning Joe” on the president’s latest version of his controversial travel ban, which was announced the day before by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

“Two of the three are clean and have great reputations and are great leaders and great men,” Brzezinski said, apparently leaving off the attorney general, who recused himself last week from the Russia investigation after reports showed he’d met secretly with that nation’s ambassador during the election campaign.

Brzezinski remains alarmed by Trump’s weekend tweets accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of ordering an illegal wiretap ahead of the election — although the president has offered no proof — and then asking Congress to investigate those baseless claims.

“I just don’t know why there’s nobody at the White House who doesn’t walk down the hall and say, ‘Mr. President, you can’t do this, this has to stop,'” she said. “Whoever this person is (should say), ‘Steve Bannon has to go or I’m gone.’ When does that happen? When does somebody do the right thing and protect their own reputation and this country from this president?”

MSNBC political analyst Mike Barnicle pointed out that Trump has always tried to manipulate facts to create his own reality to promote himself as a celebrity and to demonstrate the success of Trump Organization.

I blame her and Joe the intern killer as much as I blame Putin, Comey, and all the fuckers that were too lazy to vote.

I thought she was threatening to quit unless Bannon leaves the white house.

Oh well.

Maybe she will still quit and take Joe with her.

and the one with the Friend of the Kremlin award. I wonder how long he and Trump have been working on making Russia our number one trading partner.

He's already been leading us down a very dark path! The GOP has hijacked this country and they're driving us off the cliff at a very alarming rate!
