‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Absent From Show After Joe Scarborough Meltdown
Viewers tuning into Morning Joe on Friday (December 6) to see the fallout of Joe Scarborough‘s scathing rant from Thursday’s (December 5) show were surprised to see the host missing, along with his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski.
As the hosts’ absence wasn’t explained at the top of the show by Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire, some viewers wondered if Scarborough and Brzezinski had quit or been fired following Thursday’s heated rant. However, it turned out the absence was pre-planned.
The reason Scarborough and Brzezinski weren’t in the studio on Friday’s show was because they were headed to Arkansas to interview former President Bill Clinton.
However, this didn’t stop viewers from speculating, with one X user writing, “After yesterday’s meltdown by Joe, I don’t see them returning. Give the show to Joy Reid. Morning Joy.”
“It would not be surprising if management of MSNBC reacted to Joe’s outbursts yesterday and they were called in for a meeting,” said another.
Another added, “Good, they should leave permanently from Morning Joke and their sad appeasement of Trump.”
“Next week: Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski will be leaving Morning Joe in order to spend more time with their family,” one commenter quipped.
“I think it over for them,” said another.
Another wrote, “No spinning this for Joe & Mika! I think their show will be cancelled or totally overhauled without them!”
The latest drama came after Scarborough spent 20 minutes of Thursday’s show ranting against Atlantic writer David Frum and other critics of the Morning Joe hosts. Frum was a guest on the show on Wednesday (December 4) when he made a joke about Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
After Brzezinski later addressed viewers and referred to the joke as “flippant,” Frum penned an article for the Atlantic where he claimed the Morning Joe hosts apologized on his behalf due to “fear” and trying to “appease” the incoming Trump administration.
Scarborough fired back at Frum on Thursday’s episode, saying his reaction “wasn’t the sound of fear, that was the sound of civility,” adding, “I’m not fearful. If you talk to anybody who served with me in congress, they will tell you, not fearful of leadership. Now? Not fearful.”
The host also took aim at those who criticized his and his wife’s meeting with Trump following his election win last month. “We went down to talk to the President-elect and people wrote articles that were just false,” he stated. “But you know what we did? We did the corporate thing. Corporate said, ‘Don’t say anything. Just keep your head down.’ What did the royals say? Never explain, never complain. We did that.”

O
I've stopped watching Morning Joe, not because of their ring-kissing of Trump or their overreaction to David Frum. It seems the longer they're been on, the more self-righteous and self-serving both Mika and Joe have become. The bigger reason, though, is that for the sake of my mental health, I'm replacing cable news and legacy news with ESPN. Whether the local sports teams win or lose, there's always hope for success, or at least progress. The same can't be said in the current political environment for preserving our democracy, saving the planet, shoring up the social safety net, or adhering to the rule of law and the Constitution. At age 75, I don't intend to live my remaining years in anger and despair.

I’m 77 and I feel exactly as u do. I’ve promised myself I will not watch nor hear trump anymore. No more news with him in it as I have done for the last 8 years? I will not b watching the inauguration either. It’s pure torture to watch him and his criminal gang of bullies and thugs. It’s been torture for me. For the sake of my physical and mental health I’m through with trump. I know he is pure evil and will destroy this democracy I have grown up in and love. I’m heartbroken

The United States is a republic, hence the Pledge of Allegiance. Democracy is a process of governance. The United States is not a democracy, it is a republic that abides by the democratic process most of the time. Google republic if you are still confused.

There is a need to stay informed, so I will mute when trump or Musk speak, but will listen to commentary about the information. Journalists are under fire and threatened because of trump and his minions. We all rant, some of us just have more visible platforms. Keep watching and be ready to fight for our democracy.

At 63, I too am mourning the fall of our great nation into fascism. Your post just reminded me of a line from 'Fiddler on the Roof', and I had to reply. In Fiddler, the rabbi is asked if there is a blessing for the tsar. The rabbi says, "A blessing for the tsar? May God bless and keep the tsar...far away from here!". Maybe we should all be praying for that!

These are the same people who were apoplectic (rightfully so) leading up to the election. Spineless and self serving.

The show was unwatchable before then. Their trip to Mar a Lago shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone nor should the tantrum thrown by Joe on Thursday, which Mia indulged, as usual. I pulled the plug on the show earlier this year. Shortly thereafter, I stopped watching MSNBC all together. I want facts and both sides of critical issues— aka journalism, not propaganda. Here in the U.S., we have many stenographers but few journalists. Most of the media, print and TV, has caved to the establishment or are a part of it.

Joe has always been opinionated, but he’s become an insufferable, condescending blowhard. Mika is his puppet and superficial. Their guests are the same old insiders who regularly peddle the same old company line, not facts or both sides of important issues. Even worse, some of their guests have no value to the viewer— like Donny Deutsch who is a rich former ad agency executive/owner— his opinion is irrelevant to the average American. I stopped watching the show earlier this year and tuned out the rest of MSNBC programming shortly thereafter. I watch independent and foreign journalists now. The difference between their reporting and what legacy western media “reports” is like the difference between day and night.

Stopped wasting my time with 'Morning Joe' immediately after learning of their same traitorous conduct they've accused McChump of.
Also, "insufferable" is the precise word to describe Joe and I, too, have gotten tired of his boorish conduct --- specifically the way he repeatedly interrupts his guests, panelists and even Mika.
It's a sad state of affairs when two of the most prominent and influential indiviuals in their industry succumb to the Creature Thing who only purpose seems to be destroying evey good thing the country has to offer.

Joe and Mika need to to be moved along , morning Joe had run its course 4 years ago and should have been phased out then. Similar situation as Tucker in my opinion, and fox responded to Tucker appropriately. 24 hour partisan cable news has not helped only hurt United States of America. Everyone please cut network news out of your life. They don’t care about Americans

No issue with the article but the use of one of my hated words "pre-planned" - it's just "planned" - the prefix "pre-" is redundant as all planning is by definition ''pre". This usage is as silly as "pre-qualified" - there may be different stages of qualifying for an event but, again, the prefix "pre-" adds nothing to the meaning of the word.

For the same reason Zuckerberg and Besos backed off prior to the election. Joe and Mika were just late to the party. You can trash Trump all you like the first term and say you hold the view of the American people. This time around he got the popular vote that very few people expected. You can't continually say the same garbage for 8 years when a majority of the voting public no longer agrees with you, ratings prove that. If you believe you can dump on popular supporters without consequences just refer to Bud Light for an obvious example.
5 4
-
O
There are less checks and balances this time around. Republicans are the majority, which makes the agenda easier to pass. Trump and team have specifically said they're coming after media and officials who spoke negatively of Trump and team. Joe and Mika ran right down to mar-a-lago to make sure they don't get canceled or sued. And now, their viewers are the ones canceling them lol...

They are liars about not having fear. That is why everyone kisses Lucifer's ring. They did exactly what all the people do that they have been complaining about for 4 years. They were bullied like everyone else and they were cowards. They just gave more power to our upcoming dictator, a fascist to the core! Now I just pity them. Thank God for Nicole W. Joy R.

I've stopped watching Morning Joe altogether after that whole debacle! I have cried with Mika about her alleged fears for women's rights, I supported their rage when NBC hired Ronna McDaniel, I supported their anger over the double standard in the way the media treated Harris, I supported and dreamed of taking part in Mika's "Know your Worth" program, I even got angry with them when Trump accused Joe of killing his late wife! Not to mention, the day that Trump was "shot" and NBC chose to not let Joe on the air that day, fearful of what he would say about it. Truth be told here, they don't want anyone telling THEM what to say, yet they stomped all over Mr Frum's rights when he had something to say. That wasn't fear? What would you call it? We all know Trump has threatened to shut down the network and Musk is now actively trying to purchase it to shut them up, so Joe and Mika ran to Mar A Lago and kissed up to Trump in an attempt to keep their gravy train in tact. They can't EVER be trusted AGAIN! Nothing they've had to say can be believed. Shame on them! The TRUTH IS that the big brass at NBC are friends with/ supporters of Trump, but that's a whole different thread to be started! Anyway, kissing Trump's backside is one thing, but sucking up to Fox, after they themselves have bashed on Fox for years, is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! I wish that all future guests of Morning Joe see them for who they are and refuse to go on their show ever again, especially David Frum!

As an elderly, handicapped individual, I believe the media is starting to get scary. My feeling is that a lot of changes are coming. Not for the good either. Like you said, the friends/supporters of Trump are able to use their influence and their money. Reporters that report news that displeases Trump will eventually face being eliminated. He said this in Project 2025. People like me on Social Security or low income are in for a very sad existence. We will become a disposable generation. Life in America, for us, is going to be very difficult. Programs provided for us will be cut or eliminated. Many of us have become to live in fear of election day. People of my generation have given America their all! I pray that America returns the favor and continues to care for us !

I had basically stopped watching Morning Joe a while back.

Cancel Morning Joe and put on a real journalists, one for each hour or two of the show, who cover BOTH SIDES of critical issues impacting the American people and the country. I stopped watching MJ because I was tired of them peddling propaganda and being paid mouthpieces for the WH and the beltway elite, who the show’s co-hosts kiss up to. MSNBC is to the left what FOX is to the right. No thanks!

Guess what Joe, your not royal. In fact royal folk don't kiss the ring like u 2 did. U spent how long calling him Hitler and telling us he was such a threat and then he wins and that all changes? No it doesn't he is still what we all said he was. My husband and myself watched u every morning and really valued what u guys had to say. Now we don't even turn MSNBC on when u guys are on. So disappointed in u.

If you are watching any for profit corporate news and taking it seriously, you are an idiot. It is simply paid information entertainment. They collect money from advertisers to say what corporate and political interests want them to. Thats why podcasts and real discussion are replacing all these clowns.

It's unbelievable that people would believe Trump's version of what was said when we know he always has a different version. I saw most of what was said about Frum and his suggestion that it was related to fear. Joe didn't like that. Also he already said they had an interview scheduled with Bill Clinton during that rant. I think his show is safe.

I agree with many people; Joe and Mika should be let go by the network. His unhinged rent, purely a defense of their appeasement of Trump, was disgusting. They have reversed everything they claimed to stand for. If I want to watch morning news. I can always tune in Fox. To quote Lincoln, “I can take my tyranny pure, without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

Been tired of Joe's ego and repetitious rants for a long time. He interrupts Mika and only allows her to read copy while he is on the show. Much better show when he is not on.

THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS! They are no different than Scott Jennings (ass) on CNN. I listened to Joe’s rant - he says he’s doing these things for US…LOL. “Know your value” Mika is weather girl material. They have both scammed MSNBC and their viewers.
IF you were paying attention Joe for the last number of years has chastised the Repubs for following Trump and all the resulting election losses. IMMEDIATELY after the election of Trump Joe flipped and started talking how Dems needed to examine this horrible loss. Joe’s just bloviating gas bag. Turn them off!

Its amazing to me that some people believe the lie. Please be independent in your thinking and research information before coming up with your conclusion. No one will get the truth from MSNBC or CNN, they manipulate their news reports trying to mold you into a way of thinking. c-span, Forbes and Live interviews of people that are accused of things that they say are guilty of. Never ever take information from Morning Joe and the like, to get critical information about someone. Collect information for yourself....do the research yourself and come up with the proper conclusion. Free thinking and Liberated people will always seek for the truth. Todays Dem's are not the Dem's of the past. They are D.S.P aka Democratic,Socialist,Party, Just a few steps from Communism and Marxist. Do your own research!!!!

I AM ABSOLUTELY IN AWESTRUCK OF THE SWITCH FROM TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO THIS MAN IS. FROM MORNING JOE TO JUST GOING DOWN MARA LARDO TO BEND THE KNEE AND KISS THE RING AND ASS OF THIS WANNABE DICTATOR. SO NOW APOLOGIZING WITH FEAR IN YOUR EYES LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS. WHEN DID COWARDICE BE BROADCAST AS COURAGE MORNING JOE.?
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SPINE AND BALLS ON HOLDING THIS ORANGE JABBA THE HUTT TYRANT ACCOUNTABLE. I HAD HOPE FOR YOU;YOU DIMINISHED THAT BACK TO BACK. WHEN DOES HANDING OVER YOUR SPINE AND BALLS TURN INTO AND HONORABLE THING TO DO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.... IT'S ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE TO WATCH WHAT YOU MORPHED INTO IN THESE PAST WEEKS AFTER GOING DOWN MARA LARDO. KNOW THIS... A CONSTANT STATE OF FEAR IS NOT BE HOLDING TO COURAGE IN THE FACE OF AN OPPRESSIVE WANT TO BE DICTATOR. IT IS A GREEN LIGHT FOR HIM TO KEEP DOING WHAT HE'S DOING NOTHING MORE. YOUR SPINELESS GESTURES WILL FOREVER LIVE INFAMY IF YOU CONTINUE DOWN THIS ROAD. HAVE THE COURAGE THE COURSE CORRECT IN SPITE OF THE RAMIFICATIONS AND GAIN BACK YOUR BALLS AND SPINE.

Now, now so you watched it for years and because of one interview or one day you’re going to wash your hands and say goodbye. I have watched Morning Joe for many years now and I like it. I love it. They are loose and friendly and funny yet touch on some very serious subjects. Just because you are angry with Trump winning don’t take it out on them. This is the time GOOD AMERICANS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER! Don’t give up now because you are old. Get up and fight. Your sons and daughters need your help. Think of the kids. The Teachers. The young that can’t get good jobs because the rich people don’t give a crap. This is the new Gilded Age. We must fight back to overcome the greed of the TRUE ELITES, MAGA. Corporate 🥸 MAGA! My 2 cents. Engage don’t drop out! It ain’t over till it’s over.

Since the election I've stopped watching CNN and MSNBC, I do not want to wake up every morning wondering what terrible thing he has done. I did that for 4 years before.

After they both went to visit Trump I swear to god I would never watch them again. I used to watch them every morning. They have betrayed us viewers , then tried to lie their way out of it! They are not what I thought they were. Please put someone that was fired in their place. I was getting annoyed with them anyway. He would always interrupt her while she was talking. He wouldn’t let her talk. You could see from the expression on her face, he was getting on her nerves.

Sorry, cannot watch Morning Joe anymore. I have to be true to my own values. Wish them luck in some other venue, but they have run their course.

Today, Jan 10, Joe again went overboard in a heated argument with Michael Steele. He tried to bully Michael's opinion regarding civility between Trump & Obama during the Carter funeral services. It was mean spirited & disrespectful to Michael Steele. It also appeared racial that Michael's opinion meant nothing & that bullying him would reduce Michael. It was very ugly. I believe today was the last day for Joe. He needs psychiatric treatment.

amen...just watched today (Friday) show where he tried to pound Michael Steele's comments regarding Trump & Obama speaking during Jimmy Carter funeral. Mika is too tolerant of Joe's behavior. This may be the end of them.

I have been a regular viewer for Morning Joe for awhile. I am tired of his rambling on and on and on. Maybe he is not disciplined enough to be a host. Either fire his producers if they are not going to rein him in sometimes or change name of show to "RAMBLING JOE". He definitely is rude interrupting his guests and the great staff he has around the table but just because his name is the show - does not give him the right to be the Almighty to those who are INVITED on the show. I would have given this show to Willie and Jonathan a long time ago and tell the Scarboroughs to move on.

Obviously history has no value to those who can't remember what they ate yesterday. Much less things that happened over 25 years ago. Fox News instead lets you live in the now! They're so good at covering up when they are wrong and crowing when they're right..
With the MJ show -- history is not ignored. Joe Scarborough was in the United States House of Representatives for Florida's 1st district from 1995 to 2001 -- when a lot of things happened (might be before you were born).

I think that Kristin Welker of Meet The Press was worse with her interview of Trump … She definitely kissed the ring and gave him a huge platform to tell people how great he thinks he is .
The network and others should call her out for her terrible interview. Not fair to Joe & Mika !!!!!!

I have always loved Morning Joe. Great guests. Great conversations. I even enjoyed Joe’s predictable rants. But they lost me when they went to Mar a Lago to bend the knee to Trump who, you will recall, accused Joe of murder. MURDER! I haven’t watched since they did their song and dance the day after trying to justify their “obeying in advance.” I’m done with it and I miss it.

Avid Fan no more , bad enough trump won , now the Scarborough’s have also capitulated also . I don’t c joy , Nicole , Chris or Lawrence driving over to mar lago to b civil.

I think we will c many more of our bastions of democracy crumble under political & financial pressure fold . One out of two of us voted for , well , I don’t swear on this medium, person , now they can live with their choice
-
O
The show has been gradually devolving into a Scarborough monolog for many months. He, and Mika, had gradually made the show unwatchable. We had to change to CNN because it had just become about Joe loving the sound of his own voice. Willie and Jonathan are both very, very competent and we are grateful to MSNBC for finally realizing Morning Joe had gradually slipped off the rails of reason and information into narcissism and become unwatchable for many long-time viewers like us. After all, they, like all of the commercial media are fundamentally in the advertising business, and when a venue begins causing viewers to change channels, it's time for a change in that venue. Thank you MSNBC !!
-
B
I agree completely and will watch when Joe is no longer there pontificating, taking air time away from absolutely all of the knowledgeable people sitting there unable to contribute. For years I always switched stations when he began that. I watched today for the first time since Joe and Mika's Trump lapdog reveal. Willie Geist was there with good guests. Joe's absence should be permanent!

I can't stand how Joe always interrupts his guests, his quasi comical stories and his misrepresentation of the facts. Just this morning Dec. 10th, he blamed the so called progressives for the fact that there is no long term institutional help for the mentally disabled who end up living on the streets. The fact is politicians and voters from both sides of the aisle have failed the mentally ill. Joe's hero, Ronald Reagan a Republican, as governor of California drastically cut mental health services. Here in Nevada, where I have lived for 50 yrs., mental health services were drastically cut in the late 1980's by then governor Bob Miller, a Democrat. Ask any tax paying citizen if they want to pay higher taxes to provide long term institutional care for the mentally ill, what do you think their response would be?

Joe and Mika have talked about others like Ted Cruz jumping on Trump train after saying awful things about his wife and father..Mika and Joe’s last trip to Maro Lago was when Trump made fun of Mika’s bloody face from cosmetic surgery Mika had.,I guess they decided to let it go and jump on the Trump train like Cruz did..Joe has taped interviews with a lot of politicians..Why didn’t they do this with Trump and show it on Morning Joe..They always talk about how Trump must think his supporters are stupid to believe what he says..Well, I was offended by Mika on Thursday when she actually repeated twice….”If we didn’t tell you we went to see Trump you the viewer would have never known”. She also said we didn’t have to tell our viewers. So that tells me they think their viewers are stupid. We all know if they would have never admitted to going to see Trump on their show that Trump or his people would have told it. I only started watching that show years ago because I happen to see Willie on it one morning. They cut him off too..Willie is smart and knows how to report the news without all the drama just as Jonathan Lamire does..

Best decision ever to stop watching morning Joe. It had been a ritual of mine for years. I've stopped watching all news media. I feel like I've been lied to for the last 10 years, especially about politics, I'm done. I'll watch live broadcasts and speeches from politicians on free YouTube if I feel they're important, but I'll never spend another minute listening to a pundit provide their "insight". If what these network pundits had said over the last decade were in fact true, there's no way in hell trump would've won.
I know for a fact he's a disgusting low-IQ pig, and I would've never voted for the guy based solely on his actions on January 6 (his insiteful tone and rhetoric during his live speech at the rally - - why was there even a rally? - - let alone his texts on that day), but the media decided ratings were more important than facts and went with whatever boosted ratings. From now on, if it's not in writing or seen live, I'm not believing it.

C
Uh Joe And Mike got together cheating on their former spouses really trusting people. And they got the gall to talk about others. Get lost you 2 losers

G
I think Joe and Mika made a very disappointing mistake by meeting with trump. I’m still unable to feel comfortable with family who voted for trump, and it hurts bad. How on earth do these people think, and how do they feel they relate to their fan base? I’ve thought about this and my final thought are that Joe and Mika panicked and were nearly trying to cover themselves. This is a scary situation they made their fan base aware of.
Now, today we see a push to issue pardons to people who committed no crimes in order to protect those people from trump’s regime. What about the 50% of our country who feels like their country is gone and their new leader to be is a treasonous and corrupt person?
Joe and Mika kissed the ring of trump. Shame on them. Shame on America for making the wrong choices. No person of integrity should ever have this type of meeting with trump, unless an interview.
Good for Joe and Mika as they may have saved themselves from trump. The rest of us will find journalists who we can align with and trust.
Time to sleep in Joe and Mika should apologize to every leading woman over 50!

Joe and Mika are over the top. I cannot stand watching them anymore. He is always ranting about something and she always ha an attitude especially if they talk sports. Sick of Know your value ..nauseating. I would love Willie, Jonathan Lemire John Heileman to host. Their personalities are the only reason i haven’t stopped watching completely. Time for them to move on
-
T
See, there lies the problem. I've watched Morning Joe for 15 years, and Joe was still a Republican. I don't think they should give up their show for this mistake. They are already paying for it and it ain't like they're going to change. They are old and set in their ways. It was a mistake. I hope Joe isn't so full of himself that he can't admit that in fact it was mistake to meet with the Turd. He should apologize to us. We supported them all these years. The smart thing to do is admit the mistake.
-

If they felt there was a reason to kiss Trumps ring then It's okay by me. I would not have.
I believe they cannot believe how viewers commented in a negative way. They are not use to criticism.

I am over morning Joe after being a loyal viewer for eight years! I cannot believe how have changed their tune! I’ve noticed on the show that they will not criticize Trump in anyway, but the other hosts do, although “very lightly.” Wow, what a big change since the meeting at mar-a-Lago. Before that meeting, every day, Mika and Joe would call Trump a fascist and basically Hitler. Boy did that change! I can just about guess what happened in that meeting. Trump threaten Joe saying he was gonna investigate him for the death of his coworker, and it scared Joe to death. Trump told him if you talk bad about me anymore, you’re going to jail when I become president. But the deal was, you can talk bad about anybody else, the nominees, etc. but you better not talk bad about Trump. I will not watch the show anymore. Switching to CNN for my news.

I think they were either rebuked by mgt, or the legal team. There is no way they would have missed a Friday brodcast to jump on a plane. Espically a flight that is 2 hours. Its not like they were flying to Asia on a 23 hour flight. Come on TVINSIDER...dont talk down to us !

It sounds to me like these commentors are blaming Joe/Mika for the horrendous situation we are in & the fear half the country feels about what’s coming at us. The blame lies with the 50%+ who put us here, they don’t want the responsibility of a democracy. Well they won. We each have to find a way to survive somehow & if Joe & Mika felt a conversation in Mar-a-lago was called for, then it was their professional responsibility to hear from the “horses mouth” as it were. I’ve also stopped watching MSNBC & reading any other news. I can’t sleep, & I need to survive. I’m scared & I can’t change it. Oligarchy, Dictatorship, Nazism, etc is on its way, January 20th, This is our punishment for daring to put a Black man in the White House, allowing people the freedom to be who they are in public & be allowed to love whom they wish. I’ve been verbally accosted in Tennessee for daring to wear a Jewish star in public. It isn’t safe. Synagogues in the south require members to attend training on how to handle a shooting incident. How do Muslims, Hispanics, Gays, Hindus and any other non-evangelical white person in this new place that used to be the land of the free expect to survive? We are all hiding, not fighting. We are behaving like the Germans during the Hitler era and hiding our heads in the sand and pretending we don’t know. We all Damn Well know exactly what’s coming.

They are both cowards, traitors & hypocrites!!! I’ll never watch them again, they can go Phk themselves

You boys lost.enjoy your pathetic tears

Hopefully they can go somewhere safe and do a podcast. We know what has been threatened against journalists. Autocrats destroy anyone who does not look like them or pledge loyalty, you know what Hitler did. He loves autocrats and such more than Americans.

I stopped watching this show sometime ago as Joe was becoming more and more unbearable. I always hoped Mika would take over the show as I thought it would be much more interesting without him always butting in to conversations. Joy Reid is the last person I would want to take over the show and wish Mike would stay on alone.

I've always seen Mika as a very mediocre presenter. She often seems not to have prepped for presentation or misreads cue cards. She defers to her husband and let's him blow hard. The facts speak for themselves: they did not return with a reporter's scoop after their visit to Trump: they went their to save their butts.

Wonder if they asked ",the hard questions' about his lying, cheating and stealing'...
-
G
I'm glad they're gone! Trump has enough classless goons working for him!!
-
G
Joe has always annoyed me....talking over Mika and guests. 90% of the show is him interrupting people as if he has the the one and only worthwhile narrative. He talks a topic to death and comes across as a princess on his soapbox. I am not surprised he bent over for trump. Maybe Trump can make space for him on his 'team? He is clearly a cowering yes man.

Morning Joe was my show. No longer, after going to see DT off the record BS, I'm done. You can't piss on me and tell me it's raining. You can't go see DT on your terms he's controlled so much of the media for so long your visit would be no different. As far as I'm concerned you guys make enough money to push back or quit the network. I would have followed you. Now you just another member of MAGA. Bye!!!!

MSNBC should follow suit. A true cesspool. Avid viewers could just start kicking their cats earlier in the day.

I’ve stopped watching Morning Joe. Honestly, I only heard about this through this article. So now he’s defending the orange man? Seriously. I’m wondering if the orange man isn’t involved with the mob. How does he get people to go against their principles and lose their integrity to kiss his ring? No matter what they say, they are scared. If they just stayed in their lane. They probably would be doing fine. I stand by people with integrity. So I’m not watching their show anymore.

Both have outlived their usefulness.

I'm done watching Morning Joe. I stopped watching the moment they announced the went to Florida to butt kiss. I will miss hearing what Rev. Sharpen has to say.

They went to the master but couldn't divulge what trump said a real waste of time that man dog you afterwards

Remember back in 2020, when Biden won and all the Republicans went apoplectic and cut off all ties with their Democrat family members and shut down all commentary from the left? Me, neither. You said you want to bring the country together, but all your actions are like a spoiled brat. Grow up.

I support responsible journalism and it takes courage to walk into the lions den. I support them and their actions and I will continue to watch for my own sanity sake!

I haven't been able to watch any news, even local, since the election..and I used to watch and read news from around the world every day. ..I had heard that Joe and Mika had gone to Ma ra Lago and was disappointed regardless of the why.. When (IF) I regain the ability to watch any news, I will start with Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow...
-
O
Hopefully fired. Yesterday's media. Joe & Mika are no longer relevant, and I am a lifelong Democrat, MAGA. MSNBC had better move on.

I saw that show and thought that Joe made his points in the first five minutes and that the rest if it simply was not needed. But I would not make too much of it. It is not as if he claimed that anybody is eating the cats and dogs.

This is what should happen to anybody who even talks to a politician I don't like! How dare they do something I disagree with! Me me me! It's all about me!

Here's the problem with all this high level intellectual discussion on Morning Joe... it's just one side. Joe start's out setting things up then his merry band fall in line... there's no dissenting opinion, no push back on anything... Joe sets up the discussion and everyone falls in line... it's become sickening.... corporate propaganda at it's finest... I hate Fox news but at least they sometimes offer a counter point to the discussion. I've stopped watching... Joe makes me sick and his fawning wife adds to my nausea.

Most of the time one or both take Friday’s off so I wouldn’t read too much into it.

What a BS article! They said on Thursday that they were not going to be there as they were going to see Clinton. Then you guys turn it into this lame article…shame on your lack of profession reporting skills

Commentators equivalent to the walk of shame. Lol.

I think they did what they had to felon Trump is vivious.

Joe Scarborough and Mika have been diminished by his visit to see Trump. We need more Joy Reids who speak truth to power without apology or fear. I look at CNN at 6am now. Bettye Baker

I will continue watching MJ and think this entire uproar over the meeting is utter ridiculousness. How else do you properly cover a President without ever speaking to him? I want them to meet with him, speak to him AND continue to criticize and critique him. Those things can actually exist together. This is such petty BS. Grow up people.

And that is the problem with Dumbactats, they are to weak minded to listen to an opposing view point. They remind me of the dodo birds. And just like the dodo, evolution will correct that mistake.

I voted Trump because he is the only one lost money being President. Every one since JFK gotten richer in that office.
Trump grew up in the sixties, he speaks that language.

I think MJ is still a thoughtful show with great and interesting guests. The conversations are well worth my time. I missed what has been described as Joe’s rant. Hope things settle down because I still value it.

They over cooked their criticism of Trump...they didn't act like journalists.
I would occasionally tune in to see a different perspective, but all I learned was hatred and no facts...

If anyone is to be hated it is Trump. He is destroying our government by each incompetent cabinet member he puts forward. His entire being is bent on controlling everyone.

I don’t know what all the brouhaha is about. Joe and Mika put on a great show every weekday, which is certainly difficult in these times. I don’t agree with everything they say or do, but I still agree with them more than not and their show actually inspires me. I think that’s what rational adults do—listen, form your own views, listen some more.

Much hate for Trump but everyone on here ignores the Biden crime syndicate and treacherous actions of the current president. Not to mention giving tax payer money to various nations while ignoring our own citizens suffering from the latest hurricane devastation.
I find majority of liberals as hypocrites.

I applaud Joe and Mika for speaking their thoughts and feelings. Too many people just do the bidding of the network.
He is the only show on MSNBC that is 4 hours. Whether you agree with Joe or not, he deserves points for being honest.

Maybe Whoopie can add 2 chairs at the table before Elon buys the network and we can condense all the lib-whining to one hour. I'll hate to see them go but they are the first on many to fall after the Orange Man's victory on Nov 5th so I'll need to turn to YouTube for my daily dose small "d" ranting and raving clips. Still dining on the meltdowns like sweet honeydew and drinking their tears like the milk of paradise. 😂 #MAGA #DOGE 🖕

I guess you like a convicted felon, abuser of women, a liar, a fascist, a malignant narcissist and an evil orange man for President. Those tariffs will affect your bottom line. We, the American public will pay for those tariffs. You will pay for those tariffs. Who is going to pick our produce when trump deports the people who do the work Americans are too lazy to do? Food prices are going to sky rocket but hey, at least you got to own the libs.

We're laughing at you sycophants as well - Christmas bonuses are being withheld due to Trump's incoming tariff war 🤣🤣 the uneducated sure are slow aren't they? How many businesses have already come out about prices being off-loaded to the consumer. Trust me when I say that we're all laughing at you folks chickens staring up at the rain with open mouths 🤣🤣

We have to have some dialogue with trump at some point for the country to move forward and or getting anything done, so I'm not sure what all the outrage is, and I can't stand trump, but at what point do you stop making it is and then, and work together for the people and actually trying to make things better. We'll see how they continue to judge trump and the new administration, and then you might have a better idea if they have completely changed their options, but to label them t raiders because they went to make some peace is why the Dems lost in the first place. That's not centered, that's extreme.

We all KNOW what Trump is going to do. There's no, "wait and see". Obeying in advance is unacceptable when you're dealing with a narcissistic, megalomaniacal fascist.
