Sanctimonious Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski said on Friday morning that her and Joe Scarborough’s “hearts break for” disgraced former panelist Mark Halperin after at least a dozen women accused Halperin in the last two days of sexual harassment or assault.
“I’ll speak for both Joe and myself here—our hearts break for Mark and his family, because he is our friend. But we fully support NBC’s decision here,” she said, referring to the network’s decision to get rid of Halperin. “We want to know more about these disturbing allegations. We want to hear the stories. We need to know what happened. And we are not going to avoid the story just because he’s our friend. We’re going to cover it, and we’re going to pray for everybody involved.”
After CNN spoke to five women who accused Halperin of sexually assaulting or harassing them while he was the political director at ABC News, three others made similar accusations against Halperin on Thursday. The Washington Post spoke to nine womenwho accused Halperin of sexually harassing or assaulting them.
Referencing “more disturbing reports regarding Mark Halperin’s treatment of younger female co-workers” that have come to light “over the the past 24 hours,” Brzezinski said there may be a “possible pattern of unacceptable conduct.”
