The left continues to provide a twisted circus of contradictions that even the most adroit contortionists would be envious of. The latest two-ring act comes courtesy of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the dynamic duo from “Morning Joe,” who have decided that cozying up to President Trump is the new trend—after vehemently denouncing him for years. A real plot twist, considering that these two have been at the forefront of what has been an incessant assault on Trump’s character and policies.
In a bizarre turn of events, Scarborough and Brzezinski recently revealed to the world that they had a peaceful little chat with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This was not just a casual chit-chat; it was their first face-to-face meeting in seven years. Talk about a revisionist history worth a master’s degree! Once upon a time, these two weren’t shy about labeling Trump as an embodiment of fascism. Now, however, they seem ready to pull the old “let’s agree to disagree” card. That’s akin to hosting a potluck dinner with the Grim Reaper himself; leftists casualness regarding their past vitriol is a sight to behold.
What’s even more comical is how Scarborough, the ex-Republican now waving the liberal flag, reverted back to his old media habits by claiming that the purpose of the meeting was to “restart communications.” One cannot help but chuckle at how readily the mainstream media want to slide full-circle back to Trump, all while still masquerading as neutral arbiters of truth. It’s like watching a bunch of high school kids who spent their evenings posting snarky Instagram stories about each other suddenly decide to make peace before prom.
There’s also the cheeky detail that Scarborough and Brzezinski were eager to casually discuss topics like abortion and mass deportations, as if debating the nuances of cooking with million-dollar ingredients. Their attempts to present themselves as the grown-ups in the room ring hollow when you realize that, just a moment ago, they were spearheading the anti-Trump brigade. It’s no surprise that Scarborough tried to assure viewers that they didn’t agree with Trump on everything. Clearly, he’s trying to win back the favor of the left—nothing says integrity like hopping back on the bandwagon after a pivotal election.
The back story is Scarborough was upset at President Trump because he thought President Trump, in 2016, was going to name him as the VP running mate. When it didn't happen, he was pissed and went after Trump. @WestJournalism https://t.co/5fsP7BurC8

Meanwhile, while Scarborough and Brzezinski attempt to groom their reputations, they fail to see what’s glaringly obvious: the American public walloped them, and they’re merely wrestling with the fallout. Their sudden desire for “a new approach” feels less like a redemption arc and more like a panic response. After all, nobody trusts a weather vane that swings wildly depending on which way the wind blows. What once might have been a principled stance against Trump has morphed into a desperate scramble for relevance as they seek to stay afloat in a political reality that leftists are clearly losing.
This leftist gymnastics routine is nothing short of embarrassing for everyone involved. It’s a spectacle that warrants a front-row seat—if one enjoys watching liberal heads spin faster than a tilt-a-whirl on steroids. The mainstream media, including Scarborough and company, can try to act cordial and reasonable but their history of theatrics ensures that no one, not even their loyal viewers, will forget the show they put on leading up to the last election. Hypocrisy walks a fine line, and Scarborough and Brzezinski are now straddling it like it’s a high-wire act without a safety net.
