MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reacted to criticisms of his and co-host Mika Brzezinski's meeting with President-elect Trump on Tuesday and said there was a "massive disconnect" between social media and reality.

The defeated MSNBC anchors -- who have slammed Trump in the past as a “fascist" and compared him to Adolf Hitler -- had a face-to-face with the winning Republican at his Mar-a-Lago estate Friday to “restart communications” after conceding that Americans had overwhelmingly made their choice by re-electing him.

Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough met with President-elect Donald Trump, who has accused Scarborough of murder, and the meeting was met with criticism from all sides of the political spectrum. (Carolyn Cole | Los Angeles Times/TNS) TNS
