Mika Brzezinski speaks about her visit to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump

In this week’s episode of “Morning Mika,” Brzezinski appeared on “The Daily Beast Podcast” with Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee to explain more about the meeting she and Joe Scarborough had with the former president. “Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but talking with him,” she said.

Mika and Joe went from “the resistance” to “it’s just a job” in zero seconds flat😂😂😂

[CraigAHaskell]

You didn't talk to Trump on the record. It wasn't journalism. You didn't interview him.

[grizzlyfan]

No ma'am Mika, that was not the right thing to do to go down to Maralago....that was wrong on every level!

[bobparker]

Just dropped in to tell you I'm one of the millions of Americans who will NEVER trust you and Joe EVER again.

[laura]

Mika. You're upset that people aren't calling you? Give me your number... I'll call you. I'm a 58 year old grandma, and I'll explain things that the average person is MAD about.

[LinedanceChristchurch]

Imagine destroying your credibility out of nothing but cowardice and instead offering slight contrition… you elect to gas light the people who critique you. Women need better role models.

[donnadaniels-ktty]

Why didn't they tell their viewers before they went? Why was it behind closed doors? As journalists/reporters why wasn't it on camera? Why such privacy? I find it hypocritical and more then that, with Trump, are they now worried about their jobs? They lost me as a viewer.

[LibbyLyles]

She sounds so righteous. I’ll never watch them again.

[Tod-qn]

If they went there as journalists where is the product? No video, no written article, not even any audio. They went to bend the knee because they are cowards.

[gerardoavila]

This video is highly edited. They're trying to clean up their mess. I lost all trust in Joe and Mika.

[kasahadragon]

You said it yourself Mika. Powerful people and leaders agree with you but the people don't. The powerful have no idea how much they are out of touch.

[jamesp.]

I’m sorry you don’t go to trump. You told us for 8 years about Hitler. Now you go visit him…..are you kidding me. This is why cable news is struggling……get rid of them, Comcast…. Remember Mika, you were crying on the show, about a woman bleeding out in the parking lot, When you were having tea in Maralago they were discussing in campments for mass deportations…..disgusting. We watched you every morning for 8 years. No more. My wife and I are one of the 38 percent you lost on Monday. Your dad would be disappointed I’m sure.

[Kevin-netl]

Sorry, Mika. You and Joe crapped the bed on this one. We're done.

[leeannedowdell]

It’s not the reporters. It’s not your viewers. It’s all on you and your cowardice.

[JimmiAlli]

As far as I am concerned, Mika has lost all credibility. I remember when she appeared on the View just before the election and she almost hosted the show in her defiance of trump. Now she has totally caved. 😢

[garfieldv]

I'm never watching morning joe again.

[sisquack]

A persons true character reveals itself in times of stress or crisis.
Now we know.

[michaelreynolds]

Bending the knee to Trump means everything you have had to say was mere performance, insincere and thus, meaningless. You're done.

[coletteschupbach]

From now on, I will drink my morning coffee without Morning Joe.

[Dr-Zoid-Berserk]

I’d love seeing Mika reading this thread.
