“I was concerned the campaign was not understanding that perhaps there was an arrogance [and they] perhaps needed to get off their high horse and understand that this isn’t over,” Brzezinski said Friday of the run-up to Election Day.
“I’ll just say it. NBC got a call from the campaign.”
“[It was] like I had done something journalistically inappropriate or something and needed to be pulled off the air. I mean, think about that. That’s just — you’re shooting the wrong messenger,” she said.

“I remember when he came down the elevator — you know the moment — I remember thinking, everyone had these reactions where they laughed at the concept,” she said of Trump’s campaign launch at Trump Tower. “It’s so weird. It sent a shiver down my spine.”
“I thought, ‘This is the first time I don’t get my party, that they’re laughing at this.’ Everyone else was, too, but I was specifically concerned about Democrats [who were] thinking, ‘This is who’d they want as the nominee,’ like they could just totally kill this candidate.”
Brzezinski said many Democrats she knows personally remain “scared to death” or “really angry” about Trump’s upset win last month.
