In this week’s Wacky Moments of Liberal Expression:

 

The unhinged hosts of Morning Joeon Wednesday took it to a new level, sliming Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as unpatriotic, with Mika Brzezinski calling him a “wannabe dictator’s butt boy.” 

 

Mika Brzezinski and her Morning Joe friends worked really hard to spin Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s meeting about border wall funding with President Trump into a big Democratic victory. Mika got really excited on Morning Joe. A little too excited really. Well, more than a little.

 

CNN’s Don Lemon got excited about Pelosi too. He claims he was being “objective” when he exclaimed: “Oh, my gosh, Nancy Pelosi is a boss!” “I mean she handled herself amazingly,” he continued. “A lot of people don't like Nancy Pelosi. I'm sure Democrats are going all across the country tonight, ‘thank God for Nancy Pelosi!’

 

Hyperbole ran high all week, during Sunday’s Reliable Sources, the panel got a touch melodramatic reacting to the latest developments in the Mueller investigation. Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik likened the Trump v. Muellernarrative to a “battle for our national souls.” Uh-huh.

 

CBS This Morning ran a strange segment Monday morning about office party etiquette this holiday season with New York Timescontributing writer Jennifer Weiner. Weiner awkwardly dragged Justice Kavanaugh’s accuser Christine Blasey Ford into it. All in a liberal effort to make the concept of a Christmas party political.
