'Morning Joe' Easter Bunny Segment Gets Weird When Mika Brings Up 'Furries' (Video)

"But Easter Bunnies like that are not furries? There's a difference?" Mika Brzezinski asked after they gazed at a photo of former President George W. Bush posing with a person in a bunny costume.

"Definitely. Very important distinction," NBC personality Willy Geist said. "The Easter Bunny is the Easter Bunny, a sweet representation of a wonderful holiday."

For those not familiar with the term, a furry is a sexual fetish in which people have sex dressed in animal costumes.

"Don't use words you don't understand," co-host Joe Scarborough said. And he seemed to be the most bothered by Brzezinski bringing up the subject.

"We got kids," Scarborough said while his co-host repeated, "I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense."

"Hey kids, how are you?" Scarborough said into the camera. "We're not going to get off the topic."

And they did. Briefly.

But later on in the show when they had a guest to talk about the Easter Bunny in the White House, Brzezinski couldn't let the topic go.

"So you guys are asking the same question I'm asking, but you're not letting me ask it," Brzezinski said.

"But we're not bringing that other stuff into it like you are," Scarborough said.

Then their guest dropped this bomb: "I was in a presidential motorcade once through Pittsburgh and there was a furries convention and they were all waving."

Needless to say, Brzezinski was fascinated and had questions. Unfortunately, TooFab couldn't find video of the awkward moment, but we do have the moment (below) Brzezinski's interest in furries began -- two years ago, when the MSNBC morning personality first learned such things existed in this strange world.
