Senator takes over as weeping MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski gets too 'emotional' to continue

MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski asked her guest, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), to take over for her as she grew tearful talking about horrific conditions ICE detainees are being subjected to in Department of Homeland Security facilities the "Morning Joe" co-host called "concentration camps."A discussion with co-host Jonthan Lemire about threats new DHS head Markwayne Mullin has been aiming at the nation’s airports, set Brzezinski off, as she lambasted Donald Trump’s administration with her voice breaking and her eyes filling with tears.“So now you have story after story after story of people showing up at their immigration meetings, at their hearings, after they get a form; they're trying to go through the process,” she said. “They may be close to the process, but the rules get changed. So actually, you thought you could stay, but you can't. And that's happening to many different categories of people who are here and want to have legal status or in the process of getting legal status, they show up for their hearings. They show up because they want to follow the rules. They show up because they want to be here legally, and they're almost there. And they've spent so much money and so much time, and they've saved all their papers and they've tried to do everything right.”“And they show up and they get nabbed like criminals, like the worst of the worst, and put in concentration camps here in America,” she continued as her voice grew raspy. “And now the protests that have taken place outside [New Jersey’s] Delaney Hall, just one of many detention centers, as they call it. for a full week now in New Jersey, amid reports of hunger strikes by detainees, some of whom have described rotten food, a lack of air conditioning and being denied medical care.”"Joining us now, Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey. And you got into Delaney, so take it from me because I'm getting emotional,” she stated as the camera quickly cut away from her.“First of all, to not be emotional, the dignity of our nation, any pretense of nobility within our country is under assault right now,” Booker observed as Brzezinski could be heard sniffing off-screen. “This is our taxpayer money. These are our officials conducting immigration policy. That is levels of deep cruelty that should be unacceptable to all Americans. It's going on in Newark. It's going on in Texas. It's going on around our country. And understand this, that that facility now that they're begging for city support, when the city said there is health and safety concerns that you need to get a certificate of occupancy.” - YouTube youtu.be
