Former congressman and MSNBC analyst David Jolly appeared to attack MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on Friday while talking about how Democrats should move forward.
“We didn’t wake up after the election and think, we’re angry because we were wrong. We’re angry because we know we’re right, but in this fight, We're on the losing side. So what happens? Does that mean a responsible media, responsible voters, and a responsible Democratic Party in this environment?” Jolie began. “It’s not just about giving Donald Trump fairness, which is what some people in the Democratic Party, the media, and voters are doing.”
Brzezinski and Scarborough revealed to viewers that they met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the weeks following their victory.
“No, that's absolutely wrong. You can't do that. I'm sorry to say this. You can't go to Mar-a-Lago. You can't do that. That would get me in trouble. You can't.” ” Otherwise, we will have to hold Donald Trump accountable for what he did wrong. You must hold all of his allies accountable for their wrongs, even if it means putting your own freedom in jeopardy in an environment where you lose. “As a security American,” Jolie said.

Liberals outraged over 'Morning Joe' 'betrayal' after co-host meets with President Trump: 'We will not forgive'
Scarborough and Brzezinski said during the show that it was time to start engaging with President Trump.
“But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism and the public trial on January 6 were not as important as the issues that motivated them to vote Donald Trump back into the White House. Joe and I recognize it's time to do something different,' and that starts with not just talking about Donald Trump, but talking to him,'' Brzezinski said.
Brzezinski and Scarborough have been Trump's biggest critics in the media in recent years. After the meeting, President Trump said the meeting went well.

Brzezinski said during a podcast interview that he was surprised by the backlash to the meeting.
“I'm surprised by the backlash, but the way I see it, people are really scared,” she said on “The Daily Beast Podcast.” “That's one of the reasons we went there, because people are really scared of Donald Trump's comments about political opponents. A lot of people are scared because of what happened with abortion. These are all issues that are important to me and important to some people.''It's personal to me, but it's definitely personal to the people I really care about. That's true. ”

Jolie encouraged Democrats to “do everything in their power” to hold President Trump accountable.
“The only answer is for Donald Trump and his allies to redouble their responsibility and redouble their efforts to present a democracy that represents all people, even in circumstances where they lose.” .
