MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are facing scathing backlash from the network’s radicalized base for doing the right thing.

In fact, they’ve been doing the right thing since Election Day, after which they immediately extended an olive branch to President-elect Donald Trump, the man chosen to be president by a plurality of Americans.

Granted, this olive branch came after years of them smearing Trump as a “fascist” and “Nazi,” but doing the right thing late is nevertheless still tremendously better than doing the right thing never.

Speaking of doing the right thing, Brzezinski, much to her credit, immediately apologized to Fox News on air this Wednesday after guest David Frum, a warmongering “Never Trump” loon, took a “flippant,”  unnecessary shot at the competing network.

While discussing the increasingly spurious “drunk” allegations against Defense Secretary nominee and current Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Frum said the following: “If you’re too drunk for Fox News, you’re very, very drunk indeed.”

This reportedly prompted anger from an MSNBC producer, leading to Brzezinski issuing a brief apology to Fox News.

Frum later responded by writing a lengthy column for The Atlantic, a far-left rag, accusing Scarborough and Brzezinski of acting out of fear of Trump. This did not sit well with Scarborough.

Fast-forward to Thursday morning, when Scarborough ripped both Frum and his other detractors for pushing this false narrative (one of many false narratives Frum is guilty of peddling).

Listen to part one of his lengthy statement below:

“Let me tell you something — you can talk to anybody that has worked in the front office of NBC and MSNBC over the past 22 years,” he began. “I tell you, I’m not fearful. If you talk to anybody [who] served with me in Congress, they will tell you, not fearful of leadership. Now? Not fearful.”

Scarborough then explained why Brzezinski had rightly apologized to Fox News.

“Let me tell you, something they wouldn’t certainly never let in the pages of the Atlantic or the Washington Post or the New York Times — they would never do that,” he said of Frum’s remarks.

“I actually asked an editor over at the Atlantic. He was so shocked. I said, would you allow me, in writing a column at the Atlantic, to say, ‘If you are too drunk for the New York Times you are very, very drunk?’ ‘If you’re too drunk for the New York Post you are very, very drunk indeed?’” he continued.

The shocked editor’s response was of course an emphatic NO. So why then do the rules suddenly change when Fox News is the target? That doesn’t seem very fair, logical, or reasonable, does it?

Nevertheless, MSNBC’s radicalized base did not take kindly to Scarborough’s lengthy statement.

Case in point:

As for conservatives, they were quick to note the irony of all this.

“The funny thing is he’s not wrong,” one critic tweeted. “The problem is He’s just created an audience of Looney Tunes.”

Bingo!
