Reacting to Friday’s interview, Trump released a statement slamming “untalented” Brzezinski and saying she and MSNBC need to apologize publicly to Burns immediately.
Brzezinski was talking about the time when Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo, who presided over the Trump University lawsuit, has a conflict of interest in the case because of his Mexican roots.
“When you see someone who you think has problems, you know it”, she continued, before bringing the rest of the panel into the discussion. You have no idea what your words mean.
Brzezinski said: “And I can’t pretend and, sort of, try to cover this fairly and put into the veil of objectivity”. You have no idea.
Trump was alluding to a report in the New York Post’s Page Six column from June about “romance chatter” involving the hosts.
Burns later said that it was “preposterous” that Trump was a racist. “I just want to know”, Brzezinski interrupted again. ‘Whether we agree with him or not, he’s a human being who knows from right and wrong and knows what his words mean’.
“What kind of sickness infects the mind?” co-host Joe Scarborough asked the panel, in reference to Trump’s tweet about the death of Wade’s cousin.
The comments come following a heated back-and-forth between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
‘He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties, ‘ she said Thursday, ‘ The Hill reported.

Clinton didn’t directly answer a question from Scarborough about whether she thought Trump was a bigot. He’s been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color … We’ve seen enough of him.
