Jul 15, 2024, 01:42 PM

MSNBC has pulled its flagship morning show, 'Morning Joe,' off the air on Monday following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend. The network made the decision to avoid any potentially inappropriate comments from the show's hosts or guests regarding the incident. Instead, MSNBC opted to continue with rolling breaking news coverage of the attempted assassination and its aftermath. According to a CNN source, the move was also influenced by the start of the Republican National Convention (RNC), and NBC News aired a special report in place of 'Morning Joe.'
