'Who's crazy?' MSNBC host rips into right-wing 'Trump TV' over defamatory smears

MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski went off on a brutal rant on Thursday morning aimed at the conservative media for smearing critics of Donald Trump's harsh immigration policies.

Using the abduction and shipping of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to an El Salvador maximum security prison without due process which has led to criticism as a springboard, the MSNBC host pointed out that criticism of Trump's policies have come from both liberals and conservatives –– including hosts on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal editorial board.

Addressing her panel, she began, "You guys are deep into this and understanding of the law but Trump TV will tell you that, 'Oh, the lefties on MSNBC, the Democrats, they don't want gang members to be thrown out of this country, listen to them.'"

"That is not what we're saying!" she exclaimed. "Just FYI: everybody wants criminals and gang members to. be put into jail or put in a situation where they can't hurt people again. We're all with you there. You can't say that because you're lying when you do."

"What we are saying is that people deserve the process that is due to them whether they are illegal immigrants or American citizens and none of these people received any of that," she explained. "And many of these people are being defamed by Trump TV. Defamed by the president. Defamed by [Attorney General] Pam Bondi. Defamed and being labeled things that they may not be. And in the case of Abrego Garcia they're taking a baseball hat, a baseball hat! And saying he's a terrorist because he's wearing a baseball hat. Who's crazy?"
