MSNBC Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are being accused of asking softball questions for Donald Trump on their show which they later denied. Comedian and actor Harry Shearer later aired leaked audio on his radio show, Le Show, taken from Joe and Mika’s “town hall” interview in Charleston, SC on February 17. The off-the-air audio seems to clear up everyone’s assumptions that the co-hosts are indeed Trump supporters.
You can hear Joe, Mika, and Trump talking backstage. Trump commented on a clip they showed earlier on Morning Joe, “You had me almost as a legendary figure”.
Trump also directs Mika on what questions she should ask:
Mika: “You don’t want me to do umm…the ones with..um… uh deportation and paying for the wall?”
Trump: “That’s right, nothing too hard Mika.”
Mika: “Okay.”
