MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin ratcheted up her attacks towards colleagues Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski as well as the network itself on her podcast.

"Well, perhaps this wasn't about their audience. Perhaps this was them trying to defend themselves or avoid retribution that they thought was coming their way." Scarborough and Brzezinski told their audience Monday that they had opted to personally meet with Trump last week.

Scarborough and Brzezinski have come under fire from both liberals and conservatives this week who accused them of hypocrisy for routinely denouncing Trump, only to then seek his company after he was elected.
