MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski on Walmart: Who Wants To Work for $8.50/Hour?

The “Morning Joe” co-anchor asks why Washingtonians would work for retailer without higher minimum wage

MSNBC's Brzezinski Befuddled that D.C. Communities Want Walmart Jobs (NewsBusters)

On Monday’s Morning Joe, an all-liberal panel discussed, with co-host Joe Scarborough, the recent feud between the D.C. Council and Walmart, highlighting the standoff between the discount retail giant and city councilors over wages at three future Walmart locations in the nation’s capital. 

Co-host Mika Brzezinski bashed Walmart throughout the segment, responding with a long pause and a befuddled look when Scarborough and liberal panelist Brian Shactman defended the world’s largest retailer. Brzezinski petulantly asked Shactman how Walmart’s “doing,” as though the answer alone would morally justify a policy that specifically targeted Walmart because it is a profitable, and politically incorrect, corporation.
