Stewart Breaks Down Problem With Joe and Mika’s Trump Visit

Moral and ethical issues aside, hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe crossed journalistic line

Former host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, called out his former colleagues Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for having President Donald Trump on their show.

Stewart said that the hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe crossed a journalistic line by inviting Trump onto their show following their public feud.

Stewart appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night and said that Scarborough and Brzezinski "shouldn't have had him on."

He said that there was a "moral" and "ethical" issue with the hosts having Trump on their show, but that he was more concerned with the journalistic implications.

Stewart said that by inviting Trump onto their show, Scarborough and Brzezinski gave him a platform to spread his message without any real challenge.

He said that the hosts should have used their platform to hold Trump accountable for his actions, rather than giving him a chance to rehabilitate his image.

Stewart's comments come after Scarborough and Brzezinski defended their decision to have Trump on their show.

The hosts said that they wanted to give Trump a chance to respond to the allegations that he had made against them.

However, Stewart said that the hosts' decision to have Trump on their show was a "mistake."

He said that it sent the wrong message to viewers and that it undermined the credibility of their show.
