Mika on Morning Joe: Mitch McConnell ‘Sexist’ For Playing Gender Card

On the July 21 edition of Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski went off on Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after the senate majority leader claimed the gender card would not be enough for Hillary Clinton to win in 2016. The Morning Joe co-host was appalled that McConnell used the term “gender card” and explained: “[T]his is now sexist. It's just unfortunate. It's like those words you can't say, but some people can say.” Brzezinski also compared the situation to Barack Obama’s election in 2008: “I mean, it's the same thing as when President Obama was running for president, there were people who could be very excited about the historic nature of it. Republicans can't. They couldn't figure out how to get around that. And whenever they did, they looked like racists.”
