The unexpected move did not sit well with Brzezinski and Scarborough, both vocal critics of Trump. They expressed their frustration and disappointment over being sidelined. Scarborough shared his displeasure on the air, revealing that they were informed on Sunday evening that all NBC News channels would operate under a single news feed on Monday. “We were told in no uncertain terms on the Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC News channels yesterday,” Scarborough said. “The Today show would be Lester Holt…”
However, the promised plan did not unfold as expected. Scarborough continued, “That did not happen! We don’t know why that didn’t happen!” His frustration was palpable as he recounted the miscommunication and the impact it had on their show.
The tension escalated as Scarborough hinted at potential consequences if such a decision were made again. “And let me just say, next time we are told there’s going to be a news feed replacing us, we will be in our chairs and the news feed will be us or they can get somebody else to host the show,” Scarborough declared, clearly agitated.
