Leftist activist and TV personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rosie-odonnell">Rosie O’Donnell</a> expressed her fury over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc">MSNBC</a> hosts recently traveling to Florida to meet with President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.
The comedian <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@rosie/video/7438776026525732138?lang=en">vented</a> about the meeting on TikTok. “Turn off the TV, because it’s like, impending doom, impending doom,” O’Donnell says in the clip. “But without a warning, they’re just like, ‘Well, Trump nominated so and so.’ Not like, ‘Holy s***, people. You’re not gonna believe this. We gotta do something.’ That’s what the newscaster should be saying. But they’re not. Hopeless.”
She continued, “So Mika [Brzezinski] and Joe [Scarborough] went down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring. So, last time I ever watch ‘Morning Joe,’ period. End of statement. Unreal, unreal. For months you were telling us he’s the worst thing that could happen to this country and democracy. And then you go kiss his ring. Despicable. Despicable you; both of you.”
O’Donnell was referencing the meeting Brzezinski and Scarborough had with Trump on Friday, which has generated a lot of criticism from Democrats. That meeting was the first time they had spoken face to face with Trump in seven years, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-joe-hosts-blistered-over-attempt-to-restart-communications-with-trump">reported</a>, and it was done in an effort “to restart communications.”
&#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; co-hosts Scarborough and Brzezinski, who are married, said they talked to Trump about several controversial issues, from immigration to abortion, and did not agree on much but stressed that having open communication was the main goal.
&#8220;For those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back – why wouldn’t we?&#8221; Brzezinski said. &#8220;Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump’s actions and words in the coarsening of public debate.&#8221;

&#8220;But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, January 6, were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote,” she continued. “Joe and I realize it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.&#8221;
Other MSNBC hosts were also outraged that the meeting happened, with contributor Jennifer Rubin calling it &#8220;disgusting&#8221; on Bluesky, the social media platform started by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey that’s become popular with leftists.
Host Katie Phang <a href="https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1858520409710182606">posted</a> on X, &#8220;Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.&#8221;
Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8216;The Daily Show,&#8217; answered Brzezinski&#8217;s rhetorical question about why wouldn’t they meet with Trump. “Uh…Because you said he was Hitler.”
Even conservatives are questioning the motives of the meeting. Nikki Haley, who lost the GOP presidential nomination to Trump, weighed in, <a href="https://x.com/NikkiHaley/status/1858573360256393618">posting</a> on X Monday, “Let’s be clear, Joe and Mika didn’t suddenly see the light, they saw their ratings. They realized they needed Trump for their survival.”
