KINSLEY GAFFE: On PBS, Scarborough Claims He ‘Never’ Cared About GOP.

Although he later contradicted himself by declaring that he used to be “proud” of being a Republican, the former Florida Congressman immediately put distance between himself and the GOP, and admitted that he had actually been down on his own party for a much longer time than just the last few years of the Trump presidency:

“I don’t know. I really don’t care about the Republican party and I never did.I considered myself a small government conservative. I do care about — it doesn’t hurt me that the Republican party has collapsed and, I believe, are going the way of the Whigs, and deserve to go the way of the Whigs.”

As I wrote in 2010 after a year of “We Are Socialist Now” and “The Death of Conservatism” headlines, Whatever Your Ideology, Your Opponents’ Worldview Is Officially Dead.
