Fox News
MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said she was surprised by the backlash to her and Joe Scarborough for meeting with President-elect Donald Trump last week.
Brzezinski joined the program hosted by Samantha Bee and Joanna Coles on Wednesday to discuss the aftermath of her and Scarborough's meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which the married couple announced on their show on Monday. Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
"I hope that we have more conversations. I hope we do an interview," Brzezinski said during a podcast. "So I want to, you know, stick to the guidelines that we put in place, me, myself, for the interview. I talked to a reporter last night. She was very, very upset that I did this meeting. And I said, ‘Well, wouldn’t you?’ I mean you work for a extremely powerful, credible publication. And she said, ‘Well, I would only go in there if there were certain guardrails put in place.' There were certain agreed-upon boundaries."
