'Morning Joe' co-hosts bend the knee at Mar-a-Lago to try and 'reset the relationship'
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski returned to Mar-a-Lago for the first time in more than eight years to meet with President-elect Trump. And let's just say the reception from the left and right and everywhere in between ranged anywhere from anger to mockery to WTF?! Depending on the source.
It's easy for anyone sane and sober to fall into the last two camps of mockery and WTF?!, because we've all heard what Joe and Mika have been saying on "Morning Joe" ever since they turned on him in the spring of 2016, for one possible reason we'll discuss in a bit.
Just to review, Scarborough has said during this 2024 campaign season that "the American experiment" could be over if Trump wins. He claimed Trump wants to execute generals "that are not loyal enough to him," while also "terminating the Constitution if it gets in the way of his power."
Is this visit because of ratings tanking?

On election night, MSNBC scored 6 million viewers compared to CNN's 5.1 million. But in the days after the election, the network's total day ratings fell to 808,000 with a 90,000 in the coveted 25-to-54 year old demo, according to Nielsen.
