Greta Van Susteren out at MSNBC

FOLLOW subscribe SEND TIP June 30, 2017 Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Greta Van Susteren is out at MSNBC, a Missouri woman is suing Uber after allegedly being raped by her driver, and the president should probably stop watching Morning Joe. Have a relaxing weekend. EVERYONE'S TALKING • Insulter-in-chief. Let me begin by apologizing for starting two Broadsheets in a row with news of President Trump's comments about professional women (believe me, I don't like it any more than you do). As you no doubt know, the president unleashed a pair of insulting tweets about Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski yesterday, calling her "crazy" and mocking her for "bleeding badly from a face-lift." As we noted in Thursday's edition, this is not out of character for the president, who has repeatedly chosen to insult high-profile women by calling them "dumb" or "neurotic" and attacking their looks. I'm not going to spend too much time unpacking the misogyny of these comments. We're all familiar with the sexist trope of the "crazy woman" and the fact that women's looks and bodies are used against them in a way that rarely happens to men. (Though to be fair, Brzezinski responded Thursday with a shot at the president's allegedly tiny hands and then wrote that he was "not mentally equipped to continue watching" Morning Joe in a joint Washington Post op-ed with Joe Scarborough this morning.) In the New York Times, Susan Chira asks whether Trump's candidacy and now presidency has uncorked some level of simmering misogyny in parts of America—and normalized behavior that would once have been unthinkable. To be honest, I wasn't shocked by the president's tweet. And that, for me, answers her question.
