MSNBC decided to pull Morning Joe from the air on Monday morning after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump Saturday due to fears that a panelist might make an offensive remark about the shooting.

According to CNN, “the decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.” MSNBC decided to air continued breaking news coverage instead.
