Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have revealed they visited president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago over the weekend.
The Morning Joe stars said on Monday they traveled ‘personally’ to meet with Trump on Friday in order to ‘restart communications and set a ‘new approach’ ahead of his second term.
Brzezinski said they decided to reach out to Trump for ‘the opportunity to speak with the President-elect, himself’ because their viewers and ‘regular citizens’ have expressed fear following Trump’s election and his recent cabinet selections.
‘On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that. 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,’Â Â Brzezinski said as she opened the show Monday.
Scarborough continued, saying the three ‘talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.’
Trump and the Morning Joe stars have had a contentious relationship since the Republican entered politics – with Scarborough leaving the Republican party as a result.
Unsurprisingly, Scarborough shared that they and Trump ‘didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues and we told him so.’
