Today on “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski blasted Hillary Clinton’s comments that she and her husband Bill Clinton were “dead broke” when they left the White House. Brzezsinski said Hillary’s comments were “not just a little tone-deaf,” but that they “show just how contrived the book is.”

Brzezinski also insisted that the rest of the panel, which included Mark Halperin managing editor of Bloomberg Politics, to “stop giving passes, hoping you’re going to get some sort of interview.”

Halperin, to his credit, added, “if it was a Republican getting money from Goldman Sachs, and with corporate ties, and was a Republican frontrunner, they would be eviscerated,” and that the “level of tone deafness” was “a huge caution.”

“If I were a middle class American having trouble paying my mortgage and wondering how my kid is going to handle the student debt I would not be excited about this candidate,” Brzezinski said.
