WATCH: Mika Brzezinski says Ann Coulter "runs a business for herself fueled on hate speech and hurting people"

Brzezinski wouldn't say Coulter's name "because people like that have no place ... in the mainstream conversation"

"Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski called Ann Coulter — refusing to even speak her name — "a person who basically runs a business for herself fueled on hate speech and hurting people."

Coulter genuflected to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday evening after his full-throttled immigration policy speech in Phoenix:

Brzezinski repurposed Coulter's tweet to demonstrate the level of right-wing extremism Trump's immigration policies appeal to.

Coulter "is a huge supporter of Donald Trump. Loved the speech. It says it all," Brzezinski argued. "But a great leader in the media once mentioned to us, actually, not to ever mention this person's name because people like that have no place, no place in the mainstream conversation."
