Yesterday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed that they secretly met with president-elect Donald Trump for the first time in years in an attempt to “restart” communications with each other.
The move, while welcomed by Trump, was not so liked by one Megyn Kelly – who scorched the move (and the motives) of both Scarborough and Brzezinski.
In response to the surprising move from Scarborough and Brzezinski, the conservative podcast cost and former Fox News personality bluntly ripped the move saying:
“Go f–k yourselves,” ripped Kelly. “Go f–k yourselves, you dishonest jokes of faux journalists.”

“What an absurd farce that was,” she said in response to the “Morning Joe” personalities saying they had a personal sit-down with Trump after reaching out to him.
According to Kelly, the move is nothing more than a veiled attempt to get back in Trump’s favor, despite spending years going out of their way to rip Trump.
“It is nauseating, it’s so stomach-turning,” Kelly said. “They’re so disgusting.”
Scarborough, a former Florida U.S. congressman, left the Republican Party in 2017 over his disagreements with Trump.
Kelly, believes this move may be nothing more than a ploy to “kiss the hand” and get back in Trump’s good graces over their rift.
“And then what happened is Joe Scarborough found out he was not gonna be the vice presidential running mate,” Kelly claimed.
“He had been rejected for that position and they turned, they turned on Trump because access to power is everything to that small, little man.”
“Literally no one wants to see this fence mended,” Kelly went on to say in reference to Scarborough and Trump being on talking terms again.
Brzezinski also revealed Monday that Scarborough called Trump the day after the assassination attempt against him in July, but other than that, they had not even spoken since 2020.
Kelly went on to say her opinion shares common ground with that of vocal liberal Keith Olbermann, who called Scarborough a “political whore.”
Look, this isn't complex. Joe Scarborough has always been a political whore.

“I never thought I’d utter these words, but I agree with Keith Olbermann. Keith Olbermann’s reaction is my reaction! At least in part,” Kelly confessed.
Brzezinski however, was quick to defend the decision to talk with Trump.
She noted that a series of controversies surrounding the incoming president didn’t stop people from voting for him over Harris.
“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,” she said.
Scarborough added, “Don’t be mistaken, we are not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump” during the show.
