Reacting to a Washington Post report that Donald Trump is now admitting to using an ugly word to describe third-world countries, MS NOW’s Mike Brzezinski refused to use the term on-air on Thursday morning.

According to the Post, at the president’s lightly-attended rally in a tiny Pennsylvania resort town on Tuesday, the president recalled for the crowd he had said, “Why is it we only take people from s—thole countries, right? Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden — just a few, let us have a few. … But we always take people from Somalia. Places that are a disaster, right? Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime.”

Previously he denied using the profanity.

MS NOW’s Brzezinski flat-out refused to during her report.

"President Trump admitted on Tuesday night that he used the phrase, I mean, I just don't want to use it. I saw people using it on the air and I'm not going to say that,” she stated as co-host Wille Geist interjected, “They know it.”

With a grimace she continued, ‘It’s S-hole countries ... I guess it comes after years of denying a Washington Post report that he used that specific description for Haiti, El Salvador and other African countries.”
