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?
