Thursday at her weekly press briefing, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said President Donald Trump’s tweets about MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski were “sad” and “blatantly sexist.”
President Trump tweeted:
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

Pelosi said, “That really saddens me because it is so beneath the dignity of the president of the United States to engage in such behavior. I just don’t know why the Republicans — they can tolerate almost anything.”
She continued, “It’s really sad though — a president of the United States — something is wrong there.”
When asked if the tweet was sexist, Pelosi added, “I think it’s a blatantly sexist. I don’t even know that there’s any question about it.”
