Joe Scarborough: Mika and I Will Quit if ‘Morning Joe’ Is Pulled Again
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was seriously not happy with the way Morning Joe was taken off the air Monday, delivering a scathing on-air screed against the network’s handling of the episode and even threatening to quit if it happened again.
The popular political roundtable show did not air Monday, with a post on the Morning Joe X account explaining that the network would instead be showing continued coverage of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The decision to sideline one of the network’s leading news shows at a time of such historic importance came as a surprise to some—apparently including Scarborough.
“Before we start this hour, Willie, I just wanted to briefly talk to our friends and viewers that watch us every day and talk about what happened yesterday,” Scarborough said at the top of the show’s second hour Tuesday, appearing on screen with co-hosts Willie Geist and Mika Brzezinski.
“We were told in no uncertain terms on Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC news channels yesterday,” Scarborough continued, saying his understanding was there would be “one news feed across all NBC news channels, that we were going to stay—as a network—in breaking news mode throughout all day yesterday.”
“That did not happen,” he said. “We don’t know why that didn’t happen. Our team was not given a good answer as to why that didn’t happen—but it didn’t happen. We were also told it was going to happen throughout the day, and I guess, after there was such a strong blowback about yesterday morning, I guess they changed their plans.”
