After three years, @KasieDC is coming to a close. We've laughed. We've cried. We've done a bunch of Star Wars nerd stuff @kasie wanted to do. https://twitter.com/i/status/1145504078547603456
I was thrilled when @kasie asked me to join her 3 years ago. I couldn't have asked for a better collaborator, reporter, and friend. Congrats to her joining my old pals @JoeNBC, @morningmika, @WillieGeist and the @Morning_Joe team.
Thank you so much to the reporters, lawmakers, authors, country singers, NASCAR drivers, #dogswatchingkasiedc and of course the viewers for coming back every week.
Some of the finest producers I've had the privilege of collaborating with have worked on this rundown. I will always be grateful to them and their work. Their grit and pluck and focus during the last 6 months while working remotely has been remarkable.
They do their job meticulously and passionately while withstanding the same challenges everyone else has been across the country. I will miss them dearly.
We’ve prided ourselves on being a home to big scoops and original reporting and some of the first tape packages from @VaughnHillyard @alivitali @shaqbrewster @albamonica @mikememoli @JuliaEAinsley @KenDilanianNBC @LACaldwellDC https://twitter.com/i/status/1262169261025320960
I'm excited to share more news soon on what's next for me. But for now, here are a few of the moments from the last three years I've savored:
The Capitol Hill team won an RTCA Award in part based on this segment from @KendallBreitman about the insane way people were forced to report sexual abuse on Capitol Hill https://twitter.com/i/status/932422379979939841
Our #WomentoWashington series profiled dozens of women in the historic 2018 election and our show was often the first national TV introduction to candidates like @RashidaTlaib, @JahanaHayesCT, @AyannaPressley, Katie Arrington, @SpanbergerVA07 and more. https://www.msnbc.com/kasie-dc/watch/running-for-office-as-a-muslim-american-woman-1170229315807
And then there's just some amazing tape. Like this classic: “I'm not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category 5." by @Loopica https://twitter.com/i/status/1168326748892798977
John Kennedy Said What? https://twitter.com/i/status/1051620898879524867
. @JaredBlake01's magnum opus KasieTone Newsreel on Merrick Garland https://twitter.com/i/status/1013562965600231430
Remembering John McCain in the halls of the Senate https://twitter.com/i/status/1033855225394876416
Mitt Romney vs. Machine https://twitter.com/i/status/965385518132416512
. @SpeakerRyan and @RandPaul on AC/DC by @PeteFall (who came up with the show's name!) https://twitter.com/i/status/932412949980905472
Tape whiz @kaitlin_purcia's dissection of Joe Biden's folksy campaign in Iowa https://twitter.com/i/status/1125181123099865092
And then there was @EsGlaude's epic piece, "A New America is Desperately Trying to Be Born", that @msnbc also turned into a promo https://www.msnbc.com/kasie-dc/watch/eddie-glaude-a-new-america-is-desperately-trying-to-be-born-84633157952
And @jmeacham's epic piece on Memorial Day
The whole idea for these pieces "in their own words" started with the GREAT @JimmyRobertsNBC. He had an idea and emailed over some thoughts he'd had. His original essay: https://www.msnbc.com/kasie-dc/watch/in-his-own-words-jimmy-roberts-83585605834
And one conversation that I will always remember: the first live interview with the Rabbi injured in the Chabad of Poway shooting https://www.msnbc.com/kasie-dc/watch/rabbi-who-survived-synagogue-shooting-tells-suspect-hating-jews-is-hating-humanity-we-are-all-humans-1512907331914
We've been through a lot. Our studio had a bad fire. We produced through a blackout. @kasie became a mom. We reported on shootings and pandemics and protests. And through it all we were there Sundays 7-9.
I hope you're as fortunate as I have been to do something you love with people you admire. It's a privilege and a gift. We have one more show Sunday. I hope you'll join us.
