MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Says The Republican Party Needs To Be ‘Destroyed’
December 8, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called for unity and bipartisanship, and in the same conversation, stated that he believes the Trump-era Republican Party doesn’t “deserve to survive.â€
“I want the party to die,†Scarborough told hosts Saagar Enjeti and Marshall Kosloff on the Realignment podcast.
Scarborough, who is promoting his new book on Harry Truman and the future of the Republican party, simultaneously claimed he is “a small-government conservative,†but that the current GOP “has no future†and needs to be “destroyed.â€
“Donald Trump is a racist. He’s a bigot, he’s fascist and my Republican friends and I can still call them friends. I can have friends that I disagree with politically, but my Republican friends that I used to work with have remained silent through the racism, through the fascism, through the breaching of constitutional norms,†Scarborough said. “I hope they go the way the Whig party. And I, I don’t think they deserve anything more than a complete and total collapse.â€
Kosloff pointed out that the former Republican congressman preached unity and politicians working across the aisle earlier in the episode, but was now calling the GOP racist and fascist. Scarborough, however, saw no flaws in his logic.
