MSNBC Hosts Meet With Trump In Stunning Turn

The hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, revealed this morning that they traveled to Mar-a-lago Friday to “meet personally” with President Trump. The meeting marks the first time the pair has talked to Trump in more than seven years, according to Brzezinski.

The news was met with plenty of shock from both sides of the aisle, as “Morning Joe” has been a frequent critic of Donald Trump since his emergence onto the political scene. Jeff Jarvis, a pundit quoted by CNN, called the move a “betrayal” to show viewers. However, Scarborough and Brzezinski defended the move, claiming that they still are not fans of the president-elect and don’t intend to “normalize” him, but rather want to open communication channels to provide much needed insights for Americans.

The move comes amid a wider backlash from left-wing media in the aftermath of the election as figureheads attempt to recover from Kamala Harris’ loss and reopen relationships with Trump. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, recently said in a tweet that, although he disagreed strongly with Elon Musk and Donald Trump, he respected them because “they’re at least willing to have a conversation,” with many seeing this as an attempt by Uygur to score an interview with the president-elect.

The move is also a surprising development for Trump, who has been harshly critical of what he has deemed “fake news” establishment media in past statements.
