Joe and Mika have bent the knee — and Donald Trump keeps on winning.
The star-crossed-Trump haters went to Mar-a-Lago the weekend of Nov. 15 to make peace with the incoming President. They explained their reasons for doing so in an on-air confessional Monday morning.
“We didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so,” Scarborough explained. “What we did agree on, was to restart communications,” Brzezinski continued.
“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.” (Stream Daily Caller documentary ‘Cleaning Up Kamala’ here)
“Don’t be mistaken. We are not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump,” Joe warned MSNBC’s seething viewership. “We are here to report on him” and bring you the news in “these deeply unsettling times.”

Okay, sure — but does anyone believe this is how the meeting really went: three equals, meeting graciously to once again break bread? Hell naw.
As they admitted on air, Joe and Mika pleaded publicly for a chance to sit down with the President, their first meeting in seven years. This comes after a week’s worth of gossip about MSNBC being sold amidst the death of mainstream media. Ratings must be terrible for them to now request a meeting with a man they were calling Hitler. But as creatures accustomed to coddling up to power, they’ll do anything to hold onto their cushy, insider positions.
You can only imagine the begging, pleading, groveling — perhaps even literal bootlicking — that occurred behind closed doors at Mar-a-Lago: “Please, Mr. President. We love you. We always have. We had to call you Hitler — it was for the ratings — you get that, right?! We’ll do anything you say: We’ll wear the hat. We’ll say the 2020 election was rigged! We’ll get matching MAGA butt tattoos. We’ll stand on one leg hopping and down singing “God Bless America” for 40 days straight. Humiliate however you like! Please just give us access again!”
They don’t deserve it, but Trump is nothing if not gracious. They’re old chums, after all, and he’ll probably keep them around fun. But not before twisting the knife, just a little bit.
