In a jaw-dropping turn of events, MSNBC’s Morning Joe hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, admitted on-air that they recently visited Mar-A-Lago for the first time in seven years to meet with former President Donald Trump. Their revelation comes as a shock to many, considering their long history of harsh criticism against Trump—including comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
During their Friday morning segment, the hosts revealed they had “agreed to reopen lines of communication” with Trump despite their well-documented disagreements. “It was a constructive meeting,” Scarborough said, adding, “We don’t agree on everything, but the dialogue is important.” Brzezinski echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the need to “find common ground” on national issues.
But the backlash was swift and brutal. Critics immediately resurfaced clips of Scarborough and Brzezinski from previous years, where they didn’t hold back in their vitriol. Scarborough infamously likened Trump’s rhetoric to Hitler’s, while Brzezinski described his leadership style as “dangerous to democracy.”
Social media erupted, with many accusing the duo of hypocrisy and pandering. Trump supporters mocked the apparent about-face, with one user commenting, “So much for standing by your principles. Looks like Mar-A-Lago hospitality works wonders.” Meanwhile, MSNBC’s liberal audience expressed outrage, feeling betrayed by the hosts’ willingness to engage with someone they once labeled an existential threat.
While the exact details of their conversation with Trump remain unclear, the optics of this meeting are undeniable. The hosts’ attempt to justify their visit as fostering “constructive dialogue” rings hollow to many who remember their past inflammatory comments.
The uproar surrounding their admission begs the question: Have the Morning Joe hosts lost credibility in their attempt to reconcile with Trump?
