Sunny Hostin Criticizes Scarborough, Brzezinski Meeting with Trump

MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss restarting communication, a move that received mixed reactions. While some commend the effort to engage with differing political views, others, like Sunny Hostin from 'The View', criticized the meeting as an act of 'kissing his ring' and questioned the journalistic integrity of Scarborough and Brzezinski. Trump, in turn, praised the meeting as cordial and claimed the hosts congratulated him on his campaign, though skepticism arose regarding his version of events. Hostin emphasized the need for a free press that speaks truth to power rather than seeking approval from Trump, citing his history of hostility towards journalists. Co-hosts from 'The View' expressed divided opinions, with some supporting the meeting as necessary for future engagement, while others outright rejected the idea of sitting down with Trump. The discourse reflects broader concerns about media accountability and the challenges of reporting on a president known for undermining press freedoms.
