VIDEO : Mika Brzezinski Apologizes On-Air For 'Butt Boy' Slur: 'I Am Really, Really Sorry'

MSNBC?s Mika Brzezinski apologized on Friday after an uproar over her homophobic on-air slur of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a ?wannabe dictator?s butt boy.?

?I wanted to address a term that I used on this show on Wednesday that was vulgar,? the ?Morning Joe? co-host told viewers. ?I knew it right away, and I tweeted that it was a terrible choice of words and that I was sorry.?

Brzezinski acknowledged that her remark was out of line, and that her own family would have disapproved.
