Mika Brzezinski blasted Hillary Clinton’s handling of her private server Monday, saying her strategy “is basically dependent on people not being smart, which I think is really condescending.”

Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough and the rest of the “Morning Joe” panel were discussing Hillary and Scarborough stated that it was “classic Clinton, where they’re trying to parse every word. And it’s, it’s just really hurting her.”

Joe Scarborough: Mika, it’s so horrible. The public relations campaign really has depended on people listening to what the Clinton spinners are saying, never reading the newspaper, never, never paying attention to any of the news coverage over the past six months and the ignoring of objective facts. Our friend, Howard Dean, yesterday was on a Sunday show and it was unbelievable what he was saying. Just none of it true.

Mika Brzezinski: She didn’t break rules.

Scarborough: Not true.

Brzezinski: She didn’t break policy.

Scarborough: Not true.

Brzezinski: This is a strategy that is basically dependent on people not being smart, which I think is really condescending. It’s, you know, she did break rules, she did break policy and they’re kind of moving the conversation to whether some were classified or not and that middle ground. Let’s back up to whether or not having your own server at your home and then based out of the bathroom in Colorado was policy. Was it? Can anyone here at the table tell me that she followed policy? Look at me in the eye and tell me that she followed policy and didn’t break rules.

Scarborough: Of course she didn’t, of course she didn’t. And Willie, we keep going back to the U.N. press conference. What she said at the U.N. press conference, so many of those things have been proven wrong, including classified information. Claiming, maybe it’s marked. It’s classic Clinton, where they’re trying to parse every word. And it’s, it’s just really hurting her.
