Looks like liberals and conservatives on social media can actually agree on something: Donald Trump’s interview on “Morning Joe” was a bad idea.
Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with the president-elect on Friday and told viewers on Monday’s show they decided it was time to “restart communications” after a long-standing feud.
Trump used to be a regular guest before he first ran in 2016, and he had a friendly relationship with the couple in the early days of his campaign. But in 2017, things went south.
Brzezinski said she and Scarborough only met with Trump to “restart communications,” and her co-host and real-life husband added that they aren’t “here to defend or normalize Donald Trump.”
However, many people on social media who lean left were skeptical at the couple’s motives, especially since Trump told Fox News how Scarborough and Brzezinski “congratulated me on running a ‘great and flawless campaign, one for the history books,’ which I really believe it was.”
But while Trump may have praised “Morning Joe” for meeting with him, many of his supporters weren’t impressed, and found their desire to “restart communications” with him was hypocritical, considering they, among other things, previously labeled him a fascist.
