Radio host Charlamagne Tha God and former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley mentioned the “Morning Joe” co-hosts’ controversial go to to the property of President-elect Donald Trump was nothing greater than a play for scores.
MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, two of Trump’s fiercest critics within the media, revealed on Monday they’d a face-to-face assembly final week with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago, saying it was an vital alternative for individuals who disagree to talk with one another.
Haley spoke concerning the incident on an episode of her SiriusXM present, “Nikki Haley Live,” that will likely be launched in full on Wednesday, November 27, at 8 a.m. ET.
“Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough tore me up when I said anything about voting for Donald Trump or what I agreed with him on, even though I criticized him when I thought he was wrong. I praised him when I thought he was good. They tore me up,” Haley mentioned of the duo earlier than their abrupt about-face.

“But the truth is, it’s not that they suddenly saw the light. It’s that they saw the ratings,” Haley prompt as Charlamagne chuckled and agreed. “I imply, let’s be clear. They noticed the scores tank they usually realized, ‘Oh, we higher get on with Donald Trump or else we’re not going to have a present.'”
“It’s a ratings and revenue game,” Charlamagne mentioned. “What I don’t understand is, if you don’t like something that somebody’s saying, if you don’t like something that somebody’s doing, why not go talk to that person about it and challenge them right then and there?”
He added that the Democrats, a few of whom have complained they want their very own liberal media, may begin altering their sport plan by merely showing on the platforms they criticize.
“That’s why I think the biggest issue is, even now, when I see all of these liberals, they’re having these conversations about, ‘Oh, the left needs a Joe Rogan’ or ‘The left needs a conservative network like the right has.’ It’s like, no, how about, grow some balls and go on these platforms? How about, go talk to Joe Rogan?” he mentioned.

Charlamagne added additional that there’s one Democrat who seems to be forward of the curve on this tactic.
“When you look at what Governor Newsom is doing right now, I think it’s a smart strategy. Like, you know, he’s not my favorite candidate, right? Or anybody that I’m looking to support at this moment. But I like his media strategy,” Charlamagne mentioned, suggesting that by occurring information shops like Fox Information, Newsom is “meeting people where they are. And I think that’s what a lot of these politicians aren’t doing. At least the Democratic politicians, they’re not meeting people where they are.”
The information concerning the Trump-Scarborough-Brzezinski assembly set off a firestorm on the left, with MSNBC staffers lashing out on the co-hosts.
“Cowardice,” one MSNBC worker reacted to Fox Information Digital. “Doing exactly what [anti-Trump historian] Tim Snyder warns on our air not to do: obey in advance. It’s disgusting but frankly unsurprising.”
The supply mentioned MSNBC’s rank and file are actually “largely disdainful” of the community’s morning stars, saying it “feels like they are just opportunistic.”
Trump, in the meantime, described the assembly as “extremely cordial.”
“I received a call from Joe Scarborough requesting a meeting for him and Mika, and I agreed that it would be a good thing if such a meeting took place,” Trump informed Fox Information Digital. “Many things were discussed, and I very much appreciated the fact that they wanted to have open communication … In many ways, it’s too bad that it wasn’t done long ago.
“The assembly led to a really constructive method, and we agreed to talk sooner or later,” he added.
