“Morning Joe” co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, two of the news media’s most vocal opponents of Trump’s policies in recent years, spoke to MSNBC viewers Monday morning. In response, he said he hopes for some form of easing of tensions.
The pair, who have been plagued by President-elect Donald Trump’s damaging abuse in recent years, said on Monday’s broadcast that they visited Trump and members of his team at Mar-a-Lago on Friday. The person after 7 years.
“We disagree on a number of issues and I told him so,” Scarborough said, citing issues such as abortion and possible retaliation against political opponents and the media. “What we agreed upon was to resume communications,” Brzezinski said.
This development may be surprising. In 2018, President Trump made a shocking comment about Brzezinski’s appearance. “Crazy Micah” and “Psycho Joe” are a series of episodes in which the host, along with Willie Geist, has maintained one of the longest-running anchor teams on a national morning news show, even though he has become popular with the general public. This is the phrase I was trying to convey.
Brzezinski said the two have not spoken directly to Trump since March 2020, with the exception of Scarborough’s recent phone call following the recent attack on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
She said Trump is “bubbly” and “bubbly” and seems “interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.”
Brzezinski said that while the two continue to oppose much of what President Trump has done, the fact that President Trump was elected to return to the White House despite the worrisome issues In light of this, he said, he realized that “the time has come to do something different.”
