Scarborough announces he's leaving the GOP
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/11/17 07:38 PM EDT


MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is leaving the Republican Party, the "Morning Joe" host and former GOP congressman announced Tuesday night.

"I am a Republican, but I'm not going to be a Republican anymore," Scarborough said during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

The former Florida GOP congressman said he was going to become an Independent.

His announcement comes after President Trump launched an attack on Scarborough and “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski in late June.
