Disgraced political pundit Mark Halperin was very unhappy when MSNBC brass nixed his attempt to repair his career through a possible collaboration with the stars of Morning Joe. So he picked up the phone and called network chief Phil Griffin.

It did not go well.

Multiple sources tell The Daily Beast that the conversation earlier this year became acrimonious, with Halperin dishing up vague threats against his former boss.

MSNBC declined to comment on the episode. But MSNBC insiders said Griffin was furious about the conversation and wouldn’t likely take Halperin’s calls in the future.

1. Mika Needs To Get Off Her High Horse

She'll slash anyone she even suspects of mistreating a woman yet she'll....."And then when Halperin’s former pals Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski sought to collaborate with him"

She and Susan Del Percio ambushed him and really gave him the business. Now I don't know if he did say that about Ambassador Haley but was shocked at the way Mika handled it and yet here she is trying to get Halperin on the air again. So I guess it's ok if the abuser is your friend.

Mika Brzezinski shuts down interview with Michael Wolff over Haley comments

“MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski abruptly ended an interview with author Michael Wolff on Thursday morning after Wolff denied that he had accused U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley of having an affair with President Donald Trump.”

"You might be having a fun time playing a little game dancing around this, but you're slurring a woman," Brzezinski said to Wolff, referring to U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, whom Wolff has teased as the subject of his claim. "It's disgraceful."
