From Fox News: MSNBC staffers are lashing out at “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after they shocked their liberal viewers by revealing their recent Mar-a-Lago meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
“Cowardice,” one MSNBC employee reacted to Fox News Digital. “Doing exactly what [anti-Trump historian] Tim Snyder warns on our air not to do: obey in advance. It’s disgusting but frankly unsurprising.”
The source said MSNBC’s rank and file are now “largely disdainful” of the network’s morning stars, saying it “feels like they are just opportunistic.”
MSNBC’s Katie Phang whined, “Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.”
“The MAGA stupidity is rampant this morning…” Phang added.
The MAGA stupidity is rampant this morning…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw fired back, “It’s not up to you or your corrupt industry to “normalize” or not “normalize” any politician who wins an election fair & square. Americans had their say; Trump will be your president come January whether you “normalize” it or not. I would suggest journos should accept reality.”

ABC’s “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin also had a meltdown over Scarborough and Brzezinski meeting with Trump.

Wait, what? Evidently Hitler is now a guy worth meeting, with a view to airing differences and finding common ground. Check in on the @Morning_Joe Hitler summit. I find this wildly entertaining! @morningmika pic.twitter.com/jsHDMX5O7u
