It all started with Ivanka Trump issuing this condemnation yesterday:
I strongly condemn the attempted acts of violence against President Obama, the Clinton family, @CNN & others. There is no excuse—America is better than this.
Gratitude to the @SecretService and law enforcement for all they do to keep this nation safe.
— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) October 24, 2018
But for “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, Ivanka left somebody out and it should go further in order to match the Democrat talking points:
Do you condem your father’s violent rhetoric? Can you? Step up. Only a coward would stand by silently now. What a weak disappointing WH. Shame. Shame on you. https://t.co/LgH3Nyoumf
— Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) October 25, 2018
At what point does the toned down rhetoric begin? We’ll wait. Until then, Brzezinski’s criticism of Ivanka Trump didn’t stop at her tweet condemning the mailing of the suspicious packages:
You are my light, my love, my life.
Happy 9th anniversary, Jared. pic.twitter.com/clX3a2rMiW— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) October 25, 2018
Update: Brzezinski deleted her initial response to the above tweet, but we’ve still got it:
This is so beyond tone deaf it is spooky. Can someone help them? Like no… nooo we don’t want to see that today. Or any day. We want people in the WH to work for America during this difficult time. Show us that .. this is icky. Totally out to lunch. God help us https://t.co/yMYRySbiPL

Politics has gotten SO political that people shouldn’t even mention their wedding anniversaries anymore?

I agree with you and your husband on a lot of things but your comment that @IvankaTrump’s post is icky is the kind of ridiculousness we don’t need. Democrats and Republicans can celebrate their wedding anniversaries. I know I have seen sweet stuff posted between you and @JoeNBC

She is happy to be celebrating her anniversary? You are criticizing THIS? Really

I thought you said you wanted a reset and to tone it down?
That didn't last long…

We’re not sure it ever started.
