WATCH: MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Calls Mike Pompeo A Homophobic Slur

After a panel discussion with Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin Wednesday, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski criticized Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a “wannabe dictator’s butt boy.” The comment earned swift backlash for its homophobic undertones and prompted an apology from Brzezinski — though not to Pompeo.

Brzezinski made the slur while complaining about remarks Pompeo made on “Fox & Friends” about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
