Mika Fawns over Warren’s Populism Following Perry Speech: ‘It Sounds Like Elizabeth!’

‘It doesn’t look like Elizabeth, but it sounds like Elizabeth’

‘It’s Elizabeth!’; Mika Drools Over Warren’s Populism Following Perry Speech (NewsBusters)

Anyone who has witnessed Morning Joe in recent years has surely seen co-host Mika Brzezinski drooling over Elizabeth Warren. The June 5 edition of the program was no different. Reacting to Rick Perry’s announcement that he is running for president in 2016, Brzezinski cheered the former Texas governor’s populist message. After playing a clip of Perry saying the “American people see a rigged game where the insiders get rich [and] the middle class pays the tab,” Brzezinski couldn’t contain her excitement. She shouted, “It’s Elizabeth! It’s Elizabeth! It’s Elizabeth!” 

Of course, the MSNBC personality was referring to far-left senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has become known for her anti-Wall Street, anti-business rhetoric. Co-host Joe Scarborough was quick to mock Brzezinski for her long lasting obsession with Warren: “You know what, Elizabeth Warren said she likes chocolate cake, and now everyone likes chocolate cake!”
