"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough criticized his network on the air Tuesday after his show was left off the air a day earlier in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.
The MSNBC program was replaced by NBC News special reporting a day earlier, leaving political and media observers surprised that the show was sidelined at a historic political moment.
Returning to the airwaves, Scarborough took some time at the top of the show's second hour on Tuesday to address the confusion.
