Face the Nation host John Dickerson sent coffee to the Morning Joe team this morning, a day after host Joe Scarborough trashed Dickerson’s interview Sunday with Hillary Clinton:
You see that interview? The Clinton team wrote the questions, obviously. That was stunning. It was stunning. She is asked on Face the Nation about who at the State Department — she said the State Department authorized it. Dickerson didn’t follow up with the question who at the State Department?
The coffee–both regular and decaf–arrived on set at 8:30 and prompted a short discussion of both Dickerson (“the nicest guy”) and the comments from Monday’s show. “I think we were a little rough on John yesterday,” said Scarborough. “We owe him an apology.”
Scarborough did tweet out his thoughts Monday afternoon, explaining that an excess of coffee and a shortage of sleep, combined with a three-hour live show, sometimes resulted in his saying things he otherwise wouldn’t. He also praised Dickerson:
I am a fan of @jdickerson. I like him very much. He is doing great things with @facethenation.

Mika Brzezinski posed for an apologetic photo via Twitter as well:
Who's the greatest guy in the world? @jdickerson is the greatest guy. Very appropriate gift with a decaf option! pic.twitter.com/F6YRVFWaEe
