Over the course of his presidency, President Donald Trump has hurled invective at any number of TV journalists, whether it be Don Lemon, Arthel Neville, Neil Cavuto, Nicolle Wallace, Brian Williams…
Many Republicans have thrown their lot in with this President, but a certain stripe has not. Those include a swath of right-of-center operatives that range from Senator Mitt Romney to political strategist and former John McCain adviser Steve Schmidt. Scarborough is among their number. A former Republican Congressman, he has long burnished his GOP bona fides. In the Trump era, however, those credentials have made him and Brzezinski a target.
“Obviously, Scarborough is a ‘Never Trumper’ who has consistently attacked Trump ever since he ran for president and Trump has returned the favor in spades,” says Mark Feldstein, chair of broadcast journalism at University of Maryland. “ And Scarborough’s morning show is a viewing staple inside the Washington Beltway – for Trump it represents the heart of the GOP establishment that opposed him and the president undoubtedly enjoys poking it in the eye.
On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe” broadcast, Scarborough made plain that Trump’s revival of old canards about the 2001 death of Lori Klausutis, a former staffer who passed away as she worked in a satellite office while he served in Congress, was, ultimately, painful. “The cruelty is unspeakable,” Scarborough said, noting that rumors have been dredged up by people on the left as well. “It has been happening for 19 years. Donald Trump is right. It wasn’t his original scummy thought.
The “Morning Joe” hosts don’t take to TV every day in hopes of sparring with the White House. In two conversations within recent years, Scarborough and Brzezinski have expressed regret at being made Trump targets. “Oh my gosh, I don’t think it helped,”But they have also made it clear they can’t endorse Trump’s policies or the direction in which his administration hopes to pull America. “You can’t cheer against the president without cheering against the country that he runs.
“Morning Joe” viewers don’t tune in to hear Geist, Brzezinski and Scarborough praise the White House. They watch because they want to get a sense of the chatter going on among policy makers, congressional staffers and other Washington influencers. “We know the president is watching or the senators are in the gym watching or House members are watching. The media is watching,”
