'All they're talking about': MSNBC's Mika shares freak-out chats with military families
MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski on Monday ripped into Donald Trump's administration for doing nothing to address the Signal scandal and to reassure military families that their loved ones will be kept safe.
High-ranking administration officials discussed top-secret military operations in a group chat on a third-party app to which a reporter had been inadvertently invited, but the president still hasn't held anyone accountable for the security breach — and Attorney General Pam Bondi has said her office will not investigate whether any laws were broken.
"So despite a lot of different things being thrown out there, put it that way, over the weekend, this is not going away," Brzezinski said of administration efforts to minimize the scandal.
"In fact, the questions continue to persist because, I mean, I spent time over the weekend with people who have family members in the military. This is all they're talking about because their question is, if this happened and this is as egregious as it gets, attack plans being put in all caps out there with emojis to an unknown person who turns out to be a member of the press. God knows what else is out there, and are our members of the military safe right now?"

"That is not how a lot of people are feeling, especially when there are no consequences or announcements of plans to investigate this or new ways of doing things, new rules put in place, perhaps anything to show the American people that they see that this was a huge problem, a huge mistake beyond just it was just a mistake, such a big mistake that actual processes need to be investigated and things need to be changed," Brzezinzksi added.
"They're not getting that back. It's very invalidating to members of the public who feel that our country and our national security is at risk, given the way these people communicate."
