Joe And Mika Bend The Knee

Well, folks, it’s time for Joe and Mika version 3.0.

On Monday, there was a big announcement on Morning Joe that had a lot of heads spinning. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who are now a married couple (although, when they first started the show, they were married to other people), decided that it was time for a little kiss and make up with Donald Trump.

Let’s take a bit of a trip down memory lane with Joe and Mika to understand just how astonishing and dishonest this is.

In 2015 and 2016, Joe and Mika were largely responsible for Trump receiving the Republican nomination. They had him on the air all the time. They sat with him as primary results came in. They were so close that Joe Scarborough was actually asked by radio host Hugh Hewitt if he would be Donald Trump’s vice presidential  nominee.

Then, after Trump got the nomination and he didn’t keep making time for Joe and Mika, they decided they were going to favor Hillary Clinton instead, for political reasons. They became quite vicious about President Trump, and they remained vicious for years.

Here are a few excerpts of what they had to say about President Trump over the course of the next eight years or so:

Donald Trump keeps talking about how America sucks, and before he got elected, America sucked, and then he got elected, suddenly America was great. Then he lost. Now America sucks again. You’re voting for a guy like that?

What rises to the threat of democracy that we have ever seen in America since the Civil War if what Donald Trump has done over the past four years does not?

Trump is literally crazy on stage and I say it not in a good way. Not well, not fit, not mentally capable.

I mean, you talk to people who served with him … they will tell you now the guy was completely ignorant on policy. It was frightening. It was scary. It was depressing.

It’s going to be very hard for the former president to convince anybody except for diehard MAGA — the types of people who will follow him anywhere — it’s going to be very hard for him to convince most Americans that he had a modicum of sense.

This is what voters know right now: that he is killing us and talking about us women. He is killing us. He is putting us at risk. He is making us afraid to have babies. He is putting our reproductive health at risk. And some women have died already because of this.

They just went on and on and on.

Eight years of “Donald Trump Is Orange Hitler.” Eight years of it. They spent eight long years talking about how he was the threat to the republic. But they were standing in the breach.

Now, after Trump won, it turns out that they want to be friends again.

So Morning Joe’s team apparently went to Mar-a-Lago. And on Monday, they opened their show by recounting their visit to make kissy-face, nice-nice with President-elect Donald Trump.

Mika: Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years.

Joe: Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents, and media outlets. We talked about that a good bit. And it’s going to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of issues and we told him so.

Mika: What we did agree on was to restart communications. My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he and the United States profoundly disagreed. That’s a task shared by reporters and commentators alike.

They are walking this thing back. And then, of course, they have to maintain that they are just doing this for the sake of their journalistic objectivity.

Joe: Well, of course, you look at the results of the election too, a new approach I think is needed, where, again, we speak truth to power. We push back hard, like we push back hard, whether it was with Barack Obama, whether it was with George W. Bush, whether it was obviously with Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

You didn’t push back hard with Joe Biden. And you just called Donald Trump “Hitler” for eight years.

So what does this say about the legacy media?

This: They are unbelievable garbage liars. They are such liars. How do you go on bended knee to Hitler?

This is the same as Joe Biden sitting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump grinning ear to ear after suggesting not only that Trump was Hitler, but also that his supporters were Hitler supporters. It showed that he was lying that entire time, that it had all been an act of demonization, of demagoguery.

It’s the same thing when it comes to Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and so much of the legacy media.

The only entity whose credibility was destroyed in this entire process were the people of the legacy media.

The Left wonders why trust in legacy media has completely cratered?

It’s because of things like this.
