Could Morning Joe's Mark Halperin get any more disgusting?

He showed his true colors to me during the Shrekeli "Pharma bro"
controversy.

While everyone on the MJ set loudly, and denounced the little pig for his 1000% profit on a life -saving drug, I recall Halperin saying zilch...What he DID object to, was a follow up criticism of Shrekeli:s purchase of some obscenely priced music memorabilia.with his ill-gotten gain. .What upset Halperin, as he said, was criticizing Shrekeli's "right" to buy what he wished. He viewed this as an attack on Property Rights, which to him, it seems, outweigh Human Rights.

If that wasn't bad enough, he's now furthering his RW tool image by 'dissenting" with criticism of Trump's hideous handling of the calls to the families of fallen soldiers by saying "it doesn't help anyone".

Right -- Just keep waiting for your tax cuts, you soulless prick.

He is always a dick. He reeks of white privilege and entitlement and is as smug of a douchebag as exists on TV. He is one of the people that honestly seems to believe the world OWES him something for existing. Fuck him. Sideways. With sharp garden tools.

Not sure about the "white" privilege, but you could, in any case, add
'male, moneyed and "connected" to it..
