Mika Brzezinski Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

MSNBC‘s Morning Joe and Way Too Early were interrupted on Tuesday due to apparent technical problems.

NBC News has cut ties with former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, just days after she was announced as a paid analyst for the network. There had been a growing internal backlash at the division over her hire.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Ronna McDaniel was supposed to be the new star contributor at NBC News. Now her position there is looking increasingly untenable. NBC News hired the former Republican National Committee chief last week, betting that her recent access to the Trump campaign and Republican politicians would make her a valuable analyst as the 2024 election cycle intensified.

Bob DiBuono is getting more gigs now that the former president is out of office — and claims business has doubled since he announced his 2024 run.“People miss him and people want him back so badly that when he wasn’t in the public eye, it was like, ‘Get Bob DiBuono to show up,'” the standup comedian told The Post. The Clifton, New Jersey, resident gets hired for corporate events, private parties, and Republican fundraisers — and said he does as many as three a week.“I could be at a Hasidic event in Brooklyn one night and then I’m in Long Island the next night for a bunch of blue-collar guys that love him,” DiBuono, 47, said.

In addition to promising pardons to those involved with the January 6 attacks on the Capitol, Donald Trump has now promised to donate to the legal fund of the defendants still awaiting their fate. But the hosts and panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” are a bit skeptical on that promise, considering it would mean the twice-indicted former president would have to “give away any of his own money.”In discussing Trump’s latest pledge on Monday morning, host Mika Brzezinski called it “pretty twisted,” but Jonathan Lemire was largely unsurprised.“The bottom just keeps getting lower.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” blasted Elise Stefanik for introducing resolutions to formally expunge the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.On Thursday, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced two resolutions that would erase the Dec. 18, 2019, and Jan. 13, 2021 impeachments of Trump as if the “unconstitutional” articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.“It’s totally unclear if such resolutions are even legally possible,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.

They worked for Donald Trump,” Mika Brzezinski interjected, as she and Scarborough discussed the matter.

Donald Trump’s second indictment. According to the MSNBC host, those responses are nothing but “sleazy” sentiments that demonstrate an “absolute contempt for the United States of America.”The second indictment officially came down on Thursday, as part of Jack Smith’s ongoing investigation into the mishandling of classified documents that were eventually seized from Mar-a-Lago.

set to meet again this week after a short hiatus and, for the hosts of “Morning Joe,” that fact is just one of the many “small signs” that are “adding up” to indicate obstruction charges are coming.During Monday morning’s conversation, host Joe Scarborough scoffed at the fact that both Trump and many on his team are still calling the investigation a “witch hunt,” with Scarborough adding that, based on who he and panelist Jonathan Lemire have talked to themselves, the feeling in Trump’s camp is actually the exact opposite.“They — let me say the words, let me say the words. They feel, are you ready? The walls — everybody, everybody say it with me — closing in on this one,” Scarborough said.

“The Right Is All Wrong About Masculinity,” which said in part that “traditional masculinity says that people should meet a challenge with a level head and firm convictions. Right-wing culture says that everything is an emergency, and is to be combated with relentless trolling and hyperbolic insults.”French also pointed to Hawley specifically, noting his raised fist of support to Jan.

In mid-February, Senator Fetterman sought treatment for his clinical depression, mere weeks after he won the U.S. Senate election. The Pennsylvania politician said that even though he won, it felt like he had lost.

told NBC News, “As you know, we don’t directly respond to campaigns from here. But honestly, I forgot she was running.”Brzezinski and company also dissected the Republican strategy to shape a vote for Biden into a vote for Kamala Harris because “Joe Biden is hard to hate.”“They’ve struggled, the hardcore extremists, to have a message that’s anti Joe Biden and nasty enough to really resonate,” Elise Jordan said.

New polling from ABC News and Ipsos shows former president Donald Trump’s favorability ratings collapsing in the aftermath of his April 4 arraignment and indictment the week prior. Breaking down the numbers, which saw a four-point dip to 25% favorability, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Tuesday that Trump is “dropping like a rock,” and Willie Geist said the number is so low that he’s “starting to dip into being a fringe political candidate.”“If his legal issues don’t take him off the ballot, maybe his poll numbers will,” Brzezinski quipped on her daily MSNBC program.

New York Times report that former president Donald Trump is telling friends and associates that getting arrested would be a “fun experience,” “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough agreed that he’s just “talking big,” despite being “horrified.”“Trump, for his part, is reportedly downplaying his predicament behind closed doors,” panelist Willie Geist said in his intro to the report. “According to the New York Times, the former president has told friends and associates he welcomes the idea of being paraded around by the authorities, as long as he’s surrounded by the media.”To this, Brzezinski audibly sighed over Geist’s continued set-up.

‘Breaking America’, they say, is an indication that you’ve made it.

“Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough sparred about whether or not Democrats are itching to replace President Joe Biden with a different candidate in the next presidential election.Thursday’s episode began with a discussion about a new poll in which Trump leads in the GOP primary by more than 10 points over rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. Noting that Trump is proposed to have a wide positive margin in the primaries but a more difficult time clinching the win for the general, Scarborough broke the poll down by making a comparison to Biden.“I find the most fascinating thing about this presidential race is, you have the presumptive nominees in both parties – one a sitting president – with people in their own party going, ‘I like him, I’m very grateful for what he’s done – I hope we can find someone else,'” Scarborough said, in reference to Biden and Trump.“Democrats are saying that about Joe Biden wherever you go, they do it every two weeks,” he added.At that point, co-host Brzezinski cut in.

Former Republican House speaker Paul Ryan said he won’t attend the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) if former president Donald Trump is the party nominee. On Monday, the “Morning Joe” team wondered aloud why more Republicans can’t do the same.“It just looks so easy,” Mika Brzezinski said.

The “Morning Joe” team was left stunned on Wednesday after airing a portion of an interview between NBC’s Blayne Alexander and Emily Kohrs, a foreperson of the Atlanta-based grand jury that investigated former president Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.The in-studio panel, including Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, didn’t seem to know how to react, appearing shocked, breaking into laughter and punting the commentary responsibilities from one to the next. During the interview, Kohrs revealed that indictments have been recommended for over a dozen people and that it “might” include Trump.

The “Morning Joe” crew set their sights on the Senate debate out of Florida on Wednesday, praising Democratic candidate Val Demings and deriding Republican Sen. Marco Rubio as “sophomoric,” “shrill” and “sweaty.” He’s “like a frustrated little boy,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.“You really could see the experience that Val Demings has as a police chief whose dealt with a lot of characters that might frustrate her,” Brzezinski said of his opponent. “She really had her facts ready, but she was also ready to confront him with some of the kinds of things the Republican party has done of late in order to win.” Still, for better or worse by their estimate, co-host Joe Scarborough thinks Rubio will win – though it “could be a tight race.” “We’ll see how it goes.

Responding Monday to recent jokes made by Michigan’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon about the 2020 kidnapping plot against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski accused the Republican party of thinking it’s “cool to be cruel.”“I’m just adding this to the list of Republicans who are – they think it’s cool to be cruel, and nasty, and to lie, and to mock people for serious things,” Brzezinski said after introducing the subject. “I mean, they literally, you could get T-shirt: ‘Cool to be cruel.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough sees the violence that erupted at the FBI’s Cincinnati office Thursday as an event cut from the same cloth as the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough is pretty curious about Donald Trump’s mob connections after the former president said in 2016 that only “the mob takes the fifth” – then proceeded to plead the fifth more than 400 times in a deposition this week.In a scheduled deposition in New York on Wednesday – pertaining to a different investigation than the one that led to a raid of Mar-a-lago this week – the twice-impeached former president invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer any questions from the state’s attorney general.Though the Fifth Amendment is a right anyone can invoke so as not to self-incriminate themselves or incriminate loved ones, Trump’s decision to do so met heated backlash, considering his past thoughts on the practice. Pulling up the receipts, “Morning Joe” showed several of those moments in which Trump expressed distaste for the amendment.“You sit there Mika and you listen to it, and he goes ‘Fifth Amendment, fifth –’, you know, what’s he doing? Well obviously, he was practicing!” Scarborough said after the footage.As co-host Mika Brzezinski continued to contextualize the footage, she noted that Trump pleaded the fifth more than 400 times during that deposition, leading to a gobsmacked Scarborough.

told Real America’s Voice. “That’s the way they will have to proceed in order to actually try to indict the president.”While speculation over the FBI’s intent and the legality of Trump’s actions swirl, it’s been reported that his camp likely has a copy of the search warrant themselves. The FBI has stalled on making its reasoning public, so why not have Trump clear his name himself?“Donald Trump can release the warrant,” Scarborough said in conversation with co-host Mika Brzezinski.

FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate – but she was more than happy to share her initial thoughts on the matter while appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday. Sitting with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to discuss her much-scrutinized trip to Taiwan last week, Pelosi was first asked to share her thoughts on the historic raid.“We’ll get to the very important questions surrounding what’s happening in Taiwan in just a moment,” Brzezinski began. “But first – good morning – we would like very much to get your reaction, Madame Speaker, to the search of former president Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago down in Florida.”“All I know about that is what is in the public domain,” the Speaker of the House began, smiling.

On Monday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” beloved correspondent and elections expert Steve Kornacki was invited to dissect exactly what the midterm elections look like right now.While co-host Joe Scarborough was quick to note that he’d “be the last to suggest that polling in July makes any difference, [but] it does give you a snapshot” of the time, he sees the way Republican Senatorial candidates are setting the stage in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania and thinks it’s going to be a hard hole to dig themselves out of. “I’ve been absolutely stunned by just how self-destructive – in my opinion, not yours – the Republican party has been by the people that they put up to run state-wide races in swing states,” Scarborough told Kornacki, opening the segment.

The hosts of “Morning Joe” had no love for the Secret Service on Friday morning, after it was revealed this week that they erased several text messages from Jan. 5 and Jan.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough had a warning for his old “buddy,” former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows: “You’re in deep s—.” On Tuesday, Meadows’ former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson took the stand to testify at the Jan. 6 hearings, and perhaps the only figure it was as damning to as Donald Trump was her boss. Providing testimony that Trump was not only aware of the threat of violence, but that he encouraged it and even at one point tried to join the crowd at the Capitol, Hutchinson’s fly-on-the-wall recollection also got Meadows in its crosshairs, as she testified that he knew of such developments the whole time.

overturn Roe v. Wade last week after 49 years while declaring the Democratic party to be the “last, best hope against fascism.” The “Morning Joe” co-host painted a bleak picture of American freedoms in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision in a Monday morning segment on MSNBC. Her advice to women who feel lost and at-risk in this new normal was simple: “Please vote.” Invoking the famous Winston Churchill quote that “democracy is the worst form of government — except for all the others that have been tried,” Brzezinski said the same principle may now apply to the Democratic party at this point.
