Left-wing “Morning Joe” hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice. The MSNBC co-hosts, who have repeatedly bashed the Republican on air over the years, said they had a face-to-face with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday — their first meeting in seven years — after reaching out in the wake of his election win. “Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear...

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that a second term for former President Donald Trump would be a “descent into fascism.” Brzezinski said, “It was everything that you need to know about Donald Trump in one weird, white nationalist, Nazi-type rally, and of course, there’s historic parallels to where and when this happened. But even more so, it also points out everything that we know, but it’s important to act on right now ’cause this is the moment, and we won’t have it again. Nobody gets a pass trashing America — Puerto Rican Americans. Nobody gets...

MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed Thursday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was “killing” women because his appointees for the Supreme Court helped overturn Roe v. Wade. Brzezinski said, “Important as Trump’s fascism is, and is the lead story every day, his cozying up to dictators, his obsession with Hitler that has now come out. What he has said about our veterans and what he wants to do with the military against his political adversaries. It’s all huge news. This is the future that we’re looking at in the next Trump term, if there is one. But...

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Friday on “Morning Joe” that Fox News was covering up former President Donald Trump’s “clear fascism.” Brzezinski said, “This is not a time for jokes, and this is not a time to dance around topics, because this is coming at all of us. Republicans too, your freedoms are at risk too. Don’t know what you’re doing supporting this man right now with what he has said. But there are efforts to sidestep, dance around things that he’s saying that are clear fascism. Let’s start with this. I mentioned Donald Trump being on “Fox & Friends.”...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed that 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) dismissed school shootings as “fact of life,” despite video that she played earlier in the segment that disproved her assertion and demonstrated that Vance advocated for stronger security at schools to help prevent shootings and said that it’s a “fact of life” that deranged people know schools are soft targets. Brzezinski played video of Vance, in which Vance said, “What is going to solve this problem, and I really do believe this, is, look, I don’t like this, I...

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Vice President Kamala Harris rallies have the excitement of Taylor Swift concerts because people get dehydrated. Brzezinski said, “Kamala Harris, of all people, would know, especially as a woman, we know never to get confident and to keep the work going. But if you look at that crowd, if I could just point out some contrasts here, Donald Trump says people in the crowd should get punched, reporters should get punched, you know, screams things about people who need to get dragged out.” She continued, “Let’s see—people, like, getting...

New York CNN — MSNBC will not air “Morning Joe,” its celebrated politics roundtable program, on Monday, opting to instead air continued breaking news coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Monday on “Morning Joe” that she hopes NBC will reconsider its decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel.

If we were we have strongly objected for several reasons, including but not limited...

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Thursday on “Morning Joe” that she believed the Republican Party is self-destructing in service to President Donald Trump to the point that it is hurting “our foreign policy and our domestic policy.” Brzezinski said, “Either party saying, ‘OK, we need a presidential candidate. Ah, we got this guy. We got this guy. Well, he’s got 91 counts against him, couple of indictments, liable for sexual assault, it’s OK. It’s OK. He’s liable for fraud, might have to pay hundreds of millions, may completely go bankrupt and lose all his homes, but we’re waiting on that....

MSNBC contributor and Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that “a whole lot of people in Iowa are going to Hell.” The panel discussed a new CBS News/YouGov poll showing that MAGA voters trust former President Donald Trump more than anyone else, including family members and clergy. Partial transcript as follows: JOE SCARBOROUGH: We’ve been hearing, Gene, for so long that Iowa voters are deeply religious, (adopts mocking voice) oh they’re truly Christian Evangelicals.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski tore into President Biden’s aides and staffers on Wednesday for what she described as a lack of competence in managing his public appearances. “I think his staff needs to own his age. I’m going to be honest, I don’t think they do a good job helping out the president,” Brzezinski said on “Morning Joe.” “I’m just saying if you are managing a president’s schedule and a president getting on stage and off stage … and yes, he’s 80. You need to be there for him and you need to make a pathway and you sure as...

Elon Musk has become the liberal media's second-most-hated man, behind only Orange Man Bad. Witness today's opening of Morning Joe, wherein Mika Brzezinski proclaimed "Thursday was a very rough day for Elon Musk," gloating over Musk's SpaceX Starship exploding shortly after liftoff yesterday.To our knowledge, after countless hours of suffering through Morning Joe, Mika has never been equally enthused about a North Korean rocket going kaput! Then again, Kim Jong-un is merely a nuclear-armed dictator and avowed enemy of America. Whereas Musk occasionally makes life a bit uncomfortable for liberals!

“Three decades of globalization — defined as integrated, free-market based and deflationary — has been replaced by what will be a multidecade period of globalization defined as fragmented, not-free-market-based but industrial-policy based and structurally inflationary. This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order.”This reflects Brzezinski’s early strategy to transform the world as he wrote in Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era:“The nation-state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance...

MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski said Friday on “Morning Joe” that she believes “many Republicans aren’t smart enough” to understand the difference between the actions of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump when handling classified documents. Brzezinski said, “Politically for Democrats, the obvious immediate reaction here is ‘ugh, are you serious? Democrats were on such a roll. Republicans are now going to pounce on this, ugh.’ This downplays the significance of the Trump document scandal, right? I would suggest not so much, not so much at all. Classified documents in private hands is something Republicans downplayed constantly until the...

MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski said Friday “Morning Joe” the Republican Party is the party of “inhumanity” in policy and behavior. Brzezinski said, “I ask again and again who raised you, men and women in the House and the far right? I mean, would your mothers like your behavior today? This party, when it comes to policy, and I have talked about this before, it is not exaggerating, calling it the party of inhumanity. A party that has no sense of empathy or humanity when it comes to policy or behavior.” She added, “This is a party, and I’m talking about...

MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that the Republican Party was taking a “violent swirl toward the far right,” which is preying upon the minds of deranged people, like the man who confessed to the home invasion and hammer attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband Paul.
