I’M CONVINCED: MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin fuels ‘Morning Joe’ boycott after Trump meeting: They don’t ‘appreciate’ their audience.
MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin is encouraging a boycott of “Morning Joe” after its hosts revealed they had a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
“Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, two of Trump’s fiercest critics, shocked the nation on Monday by disclosing their visit to Mar-a-Lago on Friday, suggesting that reviving communications and extending an olive branch was the best path forward following Trump’s historic election victory.
“Disgusting,” Rubin reacted to the meeting on the social media platform Bluesky.
Rubin later ratcheted up the rhetoric, encouraging her followers to turn off “Morning Joe” to send a message.
“The market works great. You can stop watching Morning Joe anytime,” Rubin wrote Monday evening.
I’m totally convinced by Rubin’s argument, to the point where I stopped watching shortly before Morning Joe debuted in April of 2007.
Say, when does Rubin resign from the Washington Post for their non-endorsement of Kamala Harris, after she egged on L.A. Times staffers to resign when their paper’s management similarly refused to endorse her last month?
In response to Sewell Chan’s resignation from the Times, she wrote, “Bravo. All respect.” Followed by, “and where are the rest of them?”
The implication is clear: now that her paper, too, is refusing to endorse the sainted Kamala Harris, Rubin must be set to join the charge of resignations in disgust, along with Robert Kagan, as a sort-of Potomac Joan of Arc. The prospect brings a tear to Cockburn’s eye. Such bravery.
Or the lack thereof:
When does the branch she’s sawing give way?
