Tell MSNBC: Fire "Morning Joe" hosts for supporting Trump's hate and violence

MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are using their positions as TV commentators to actively support Donald Trump’s candidacy – and they just got caught. They recently used their position on MSNBC to hold a “town hall” with only Trump. That’s bad enough, but a recording just leaked of Scarborough and Brzezinski talking in between commercial breaks, like friends who are on the same team. Brzezinski asks whether she should ask questions about deportation: “Do you not want me to do, the um, the ones with, um, deportation?” Trump says “Nothing too hard, Mika,” and Mika says “Okay.” No questions about deportation were asked. At another point, Trump says “This will make us all look good,” to which Scarborough replies “Exactly.”

Scarborough and Brzezinski aren’t coming right out and saying they’re for Trump. Instead, they’re using their position on MSNBC to act like journalists, but shape media coverage so that it helps Trump. It’s completely unacceptable, especially given Trump’s racist demonization of Latinos, and his encouragement of violence against those who oppose him. It's an embarrassment for the network and it should embarrass corporate sponsors that their money is reinforcing hate, racism and violence.

Join us in telling executives at NBC and MSNBC that if they want to have any credibility with Latinos, they need to take Scarborough and Brzezinski off the air, and replace them with someone who will challenge Trump’s violent and racist rhetoric, not support it.
