Remember when she had the weekend afternoon news block and that interview she did with Madison Cawthorne? What a beautiful smack down, and she did it so beautifully Cawthorne didn't know what hit him. Good times.

EXCLUSIVE – The hosts and production team of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" were "shocked" on Monday by the circumstances of their show's benching in the aftermath of the stunning assassination attempt on former President Trump, Fox News Digital has learned.
An MSNBC insider said the show's production team was informed by network leadership Cesar Conde – the chair of NBCUniversal News Group – and Rashida Jones – the president of left-leaning cable affiliate MSNBC – that all MSNBC programming on Monday would be supplanted until primetime by a single NBC News programming feed, which would presumably air across all NBC platforms. Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were also told and assented.
However, a new episode of "Today" on parent network NBC aired as scheduled on Monday morning with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. Those who tuned into MSNBC, NBC's left-leaning cable affiliate, at 6 a.m. to watch "Morning Joe" were greeted with NBC News special reporting from Ana Cabrera and then coverage simulcasting from its streaming service, NBC News Now. The "Morning Joe" X account announced the show would return on Tuesday.
"A lot of people are pissed off," the insider told Fox News Digital. They added Scarborough and Brzezinski would have insisted on going on the air if they'd known there wouldn't be "one feed" for all platforms, as they'd originally been told.
