During an event this week in D.C., MSNBC host Joe Scarborough detailed his recently-announced split from the GOP.
Your first response to the news might be “Wait, Joe Scarborough was a Republican?” And you would be in good company. Scarborough’s only relevancy lately has come from his constant attacks against President Donald Trump. His hatred of Trump climaxed earlier this month after the president attacked Scarborough and co-anchor Mika Brzezinski over two-faced behavior.
So he was hardly an ardent supporter of the party to begin with.
But his official reasoning for leaving the GOP has nothing to do with Trump. Instead, he cites opposition to one of the main principles of the modern conservative movement. If Scarborough doesn’t agree with the GOP on this issue, it’s hard to see what how he was ever a Republican in the first place. He was probably a big government interventionist all along.
See what issue was the “final straw” for Scarborough on the next page:
Nobody cares about you Joe
because you have bad memories of your deceased secretary in Florida.
Who cares! You will still be a whining lame screaming Liberal in that party too!
Because you were involved in a murder.
He might as well leave the guy has always been a liberal. Bye!!!
So you doubt the love of country of a patriot like Colin Powell? And how many years of service have you given ?
Because the Dems pay better?
now if he would just leave the country !!!
They kicked you out who you kidding. You were Republicans in name only..
Because you are a liberal$#%&!@*Joe.
