Megyn Kelly offered up a simple three-word response to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski visiting Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.
“Go f**k yourselves,” she fired back.
Mika and Joe shocked viewers by revealing during Monday’s show that they met with the man they’ve spent a significant portion of air time comparing to Hitler.
The justification was to open lines of “communication” with the President-elect after eviscerating his every word for the past several years.
“Don’t be mistaken,” Scarborough said in a clip aired by Kelly on her show. “We’re not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump. We’re here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights that are going to better equip all of us in understanding these deeply unsettling times.”
The former Fox News host immediately responded to Joe’s claims. And it was glorious and unbound in its incredible brutality.
“I searched for a way to respond appropriately and I called on my 10 years as a litigator, in addition to my now 20 as a journalist, and I think I found the perfect phrase,” Kelly calmly responded. “Go f**k yourselves.”
“G f**ck yourselves, you dishonest jokes of faux journalists,” she added. “What an absurd farce.”
Murder – figuratively, of course – in the first degree.

Kelly began the segment by flattening the “Morning Joe” hosts as an “absolutely ridiculous pair.”
“How long have they been telling us that he’s (Trump’s) an existential threat, that he’s a Hitleresque figure, that he’s a fascist, that women will die – will die! – if he gets elected?” she seethed. “Well, they’ve done a 180. They’ve done a 180 as their ratings circle the bowl.”
Kelly is right. Joe and Mika have gone to kiss the ring of Donald Trump for one reason and one reason only – MSNBC’s ratings have been in a freefall since the election.
She went on to suggest her opinion shares common ground with that of unhinged lunatic Keith Olbermann, who called Scarborough a “political whore.”
Look, this isn’t complex. Joe Scarborough has always been a political whore.

“I never thought I’d utter these words, but I agree with Keith Olbermann. Keith Olbermann’s reaction is my reaction! At least in part,” Kelly confessed.
Stupidity, as blatant as Joe and Mika’s is, brings even diametrically opposed personalities together in agreement.
“They’re grifters,” she said of Scarborough and Brzezinski. “These two, yes, worked day and night to get Trump the nomination back in ’15-’16. They embarrassed themselves and sacrificed any pretense of journalistic ethics in doing it. It was true bootlicking.”
“It is nauseating,” she added. “It’s so stomach-turning. They are so disgusting.”
But tell us how you really feel, Megyn (Honestly, how great has she been ever since being unleashed on her podcast, saying what she truly thinks?).
Kelly’s response might have been the most impressive, but as our RedState colleagues have covered extensively, Joe and Mika are getting heat from both sides of the political aisle over their performance art.
While the knives have been out for the MSNBC hosts, our very own Susie Moore points out that Trump himself has come out of the exchange looking golden. A man ready to bury the hatchet.
Trump said he will “be open and available to the press” so long as they treat him somewhat fairly adding, “The media is very important to the long-term success of the United States of America.”
How long can the pair at MSNBC maintain their composure when it comes to a second Trump term? How long can Mika go before crying that he and his supporters are Nazis?
