MSNBC's
Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski accused former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of coming
on the show last week to "vomit out complete, baseless lies."
Appearing
on the show last Thursday, Giuliani claimed that the
Obama administration had not talked with oil industry experts about how to stop
the leaking well.
But
Brzezinski said Monday the former New York mayor did not have his facts
straight and initially left the hosts "stunned."
"I'm
glad there’s someone on the set who is actually asking questions when people
come and vomit out complete and baseless lies on our set," Brzezinski said
of herself. "I’m sorry but that was so over the top, and we sat there like
stunned in silence because it was so untrue because we could not believe
it."
She
added, "But it was not true."
On
Thursday Giuliani said Obama's handling of the crisis was inept.
“If
Bush were the president and he handled it this way, there would be a movement
to throw him out of office," he said.
But
Brzezinski fired back Monday morning, saying that Giuliani wanted to simply
"blather on about narratives."
“I
did ask the White House for information on who they met with and when,” she
said. “It's called asking questions.”
Still,
Brzezinski's defense of Obama came under fire for being one-sided when co-host
Joe Scarborough alluded to a file of "talking points" on the set
supplied by administration officials, according to NewsBusters.org.
"Do
you want to know why I have a file that I have been working on with the White
House?" she asked guest and former General Electric CEO Jack Welch.
"Because of your friend Rudy Giuliani who came on here last week spewing
out a whole bunch of nothing."
