'Morning Joe' Flummoxed by Hillary Clinton's Vague Minimum Wage Stance

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s vague statements on minimum wage confused MSNBC's Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski on Monday morning.

"Hillary Clinton did not say she specifically supports $15 an hour minimum wage," said co-host Willie Geist. "She supports those workers' fight to get the fifteen dollars."

"What? I don’t get it," Brzezinski said.

"She supports an increase, but not necessarily at the $15 that they're fighting for," said Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin. "It is another issue on which she's not taking a firm position."

Frequent guest Mike Barnicle wondered aloud when "she's going to step this thing up."
