WILLIE GEIST (CO-HOST): Mika, what's been going on in the last 24 hours?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI (CO-HOST): You know what, I think it's been fascinating and frightening and really sad for our country. I mean, I'm -- I've been getting a lot of texts and hearing you all talking. Thank you. I'm fine. My family brought me up really tough. This is absolutely nothing. But I think -- for me, personally -- but I am very concerned as to what this once again reveals about the president of the United States. It's strange.
JOE SCARBOROUGH (CO-HOST): Yeah. I think so. We had so many people saying, “Hey, I hope you're OK, hope you're OK.” I had calls and texts and emails. We're OK. The country is not. I mean, that was -- when -- it's so funny, yesterday I actually asked Mika, it was like 8:45 and -- I know this will shock you -- I said, “I'm really tired. Can I skip class? Can you do the last 15 minutes on the show?” And everybody came in and ran and showed me the tweets before she came downstairs, and I looked at them, and I was like this has to be a joke. The president of the United States, as bad as he's been in the past, he really hasn't really gone over the cliff. And then, unfortunately, we learned what we've always learned. That is that he for some reason takes things so much more personally with women. He's so much more vicious with women.
[...]
[F]or some reason, we've seen this time and time again with Mika. I will insult him over the Muslim ban or say that he's a racist. I'll say he's a racist with what he said about David Duke. All of these things through the year, and for some reason, he always goes after Mika. And it's always personal with Mika. And he packed about five lies into the tweets, which, very productive -- two tweets -- to pack five or six lies into two tweets, but yesterday was just another example of just how deeply personal he is. He attacks women because he fears women.
