given they way he was shilling for Donald.

In 2016, Mika told a story about meeting Madeleine Albright and getting an earful from her about the the need for her and Joe to stop propping up Trump on the show. Claire McCaskill also tried to get them to stop the Hillary hate. By the time Joe and Mika decided to get off the Trump train, they had already done so much damage that it was too late,

Mean girl Mika had no problem with the misogyny leveled at Hillary. Mika comes from a very privileged permanent-DC-social set background. HRC made it clear that she wasn't going to court the Deep Set with luncheons and such when she arrived as first lady. She had work that she wanted to do. They never forgave her.

Mika reminds me of Wendy in Peter Pan. Joe and the Lost Boys engage in antics to impress her, and then she scolds and reins them in. The dynamics on the show are downright weird.

I want Joe and Mika to do what they continually harangued HRC to do: take responsibility and apologize. They can't disappear their role in helping to get Trump elected.
