MSNBC Hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski Visit President Trump At Mar-A-Lago

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 5

Two of President Donald Trump’s most vocal media critics appear willing to play nice now that he’s headed back to the White House for a second term.

Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski, who are married and co-host MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” shared news about their recent trip to meet Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

According to The Hill:

Brzezinski told the program’s audience it was the first time the two hosts, who are married, had met with Trump face-to-face in seven years.

“We didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so,” Scarborough said, reading from a script in the teleprompter.

“What we did agree on was to restart communications,” Brzezinski added, noting the couple had not spoken to Trump since early in 2020, outside of a personal call Scarborough placed to Trump the morning after an attempt on his life at a rally over the summer.

“In this meeting, he was upbeat, cheerful and he seemed interested in finding common ground on some of the most divisive issues,” Brzezinski said.

News of the meeting soon began to spread via social media:

It’s worth noting, of course, that the two hosts were once extremely cordial to Trump.

In fact, Rolling Stone published a piece ahead of the 2016 election that skewered both hosts for becoming the then-GOP candidate’s “lapdogs.”

The embarrassing part starts when Brzezinski compliments Trump on his campaign stagecraft. She comments that it was a “wow” moment when Trump invited onstage two meatheads who tossed a protester from one of his South Carolina events.

A side note: The vigorous physical expulsion of loser-protesters has become a predictable scene at Trump events. Every time I’ve seen it in person, it’s freaked me out — it’s like a window into some future WWE-style dissident-beheading ritual — but Mika apparently thought the video of the South Carolina incident was inspiring.

“You know what I thought was kind of a wow moment, was the guy you brought up on stage,” Mika says.

“We played it several times this morning!” adds a breathless Scarborough.

An approving Trump here verbally extends his ring to be kissed. “I watched your show this morning,” he says. “You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.”
