Joe Scarborough, Anti-Trumper?

The cable host excoriates the president now but didn’t lift a finger to stop him during the primaries.

This month, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough escalated his attempt to portray himself as a committed leader of
the Trump opposition: He announced that he was leaving the Republican party and wrote that “Trump’s Republicans
have devolved into a party without a cause, dominated by a leader hopelessly ill-informed about the basics of
conservatism, U.S. history and the Constitution.” Somehow, Scarborough appears to have forgotten how he repeatedly
covered for Trump as the latter bulldozed his way to the White House — or perhaps Scarborough hopes others will
forget if he criticizes Trump enough . . .

. . . Scarborough laughed off Trump controversies. Scarborough consistently praised
Trump and his campaign.
Scarborough was
positively gleeful when tearing down “elites” for not understanding Trump’s appeal. Scarborough
treated other Republican candidates with contempt. Scarborough relentlessly propagated the idea that Trump was
inevitable. Scarborough sneered at #NeverTrump.

Scarborough apparently wants to test how short memories are. Shall we test his?

. . . In 2016, Scarborough stated that the GOP (and the country) would survive Trump. Now he thinks he, of all
people, gets to warn that Trump is killing the GOP and to pretend he actively opposed Trump all along?
