Scarborough defended the meeting by highlighting a disconnect between social media criticism and the real-world support they received, stating, 'I saw for the first time what a massive disconnect there was between social media and the real world.' He emphasized that their decision to engage with Trump was driven by a desire to restart communications after vocal opposition to his campaign.
Sharing positive feedback from viewers, Scarborough expressed gratitude, saying, 'We were flooded with phone calls from people all day, literally around the world, all very positive, very supportive.' This underscores the divide between their supporters and critics online.
Scarborough dismissed criticisms, asserting that some public figures were out of touch, remarking, 'People on social media platforms beyond X also disparaged the hosts' decision to hold a meeting with Trump after previously being among his most vocal critics,' indicating that their actions were misunderstood.
Amidst backlash, Scarborough noted, 'My choice to stay off Twitter (now X) allowed me to have a good day despite the flow of backlash,' showing how he navigated public scrutiny while maintaining his perspective on the situation.
