MSNBC’s dynamic duo, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, once revelled in hurling insults at President-elect Donald Trump, with Scarborough even likening him to “going full blown Hitler” during the eleventh season of the soap opera known as the 2023 primary season. Flash forward to the present, just weeks after Trump’s resounding victory over Kamala Harris, and the once-bitter antagonists have made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago, leaning into the cringeworthy role of sycophants.
One has to wonder what changed. Perhaps there’s a new liberal playbook emerging wherein backhanded insults transform into eager invitations. The Trump who they so feverishly condemned just a short while ago now finds them at his lavish estate, and it leaves one scratching their head. Was it a desperate bid for relevance or a calculated maneuver in a game of revenge? It’s clear that the fallout from this ride on the Trump train has left MSNBC’s staffers in an uproar.

MSNBC employees are reportedly apoplectic over the revelations from Scarborough and Brzezinski’s Mar-a-Lago rendezvous. The backlash is palpable, with some visibly shaken that their own hosts have buckled to President Trump while simultaneously whispering sweet nothings to his critics. Their colleagues label the meeting as cowardly and opportunistic, suggesting that the network’s airwaves have turned into a breeding ground for hypocrisy.
Prominent voices within the MSNBC bubble, such as Jennifer Rubin, have taken to platforms like Bluesky— a last-ditch effort to rival Twitter—to let their discontent be known. As the liberal elite express their disgust, many supporters of the far-left can sense the betrayal as they take to social media to bemoan the normalization of Trump. For them, a meeting with the President-elect isn’t just a casual visit; it’s a full-blown act of treachery worthy of the highest order of outrage.
The rumblings from the bowels of MSNBC signal a brewing storm, with viewers threatening boycotts and staff members bracing for the corporate backlash they fear might not sit well with the powers at Comcast. Wrapped in an identity crisis, the network seems caught in the crossfire of its star hosts’ decision to interact with the very figure they had endlessly vilified. As ratings plummet and frustration simmers, it’s no wonder some are calling for heads to roll.
This scandalous rendezvous reeks of poetic justice for the so-called journalists who claimed to hold the moral high ground while portraying themselves as voices for the overlooked masses. Now, they’re left to confront the grim reality of their faded credibility and dwindling viewership. It looks like Trump might have just delivered a masterclass in revenge that left Scarborough and Brzezinski offering shoddy apologies disguised as friendly meetings. Let the chaos within MSNBC unfold, as they reap what they have sown.
