MSNBC 'Morning Joe' Hosts to Talk Politics at Williams
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — MSNBC personalities Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will lead a presentation and discussion titled "Beyond the Midterms: A New Way Forward," Tuesday, Nov. 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the ’62 Center for Theatre and Dance at Williams College. This free event is open to the public but tickets are required.Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida touted as a future national candidate, and Brzezinski, a Williams Bicentennial Medalist and member of the class of 1989, will discuss with Williams students the challenges of governing in Washington today. How can the nation make tough decisions given the apparently fractious system? The session will be taped for excerpting the following day on MSNBC.
"There's a lot of questions about America and the future of the two-party system and Joe and I get asked to speak about this all the time," Brzezinski said. "We decided to get away from all of the chatter on election night and talk to America’s future leaders, so I immediately thought of my alma mater Williams."
For tickets, contact the '62 Center box office, Tuesday through Saturday, from 1 to 5 p.m. at 413-597-2425.
