Scarborough: Republicans Have Made Their Choice by Turning To Trump; They Had Nikki Haley

SCARBOROUGH: “Yesterday, several Republicans, certainly commentators, started asking questions. I know Erick Erickson did after — after the — the Kemp insult, basically saying, you know, what’s going on? Tim Carney, of course, just a great author, love having him on the show, great author, also Washington Examiner, columnist, and AEI scholar. I thought he put it very well. He said, Republicans — when he was talking about this Truth Social post, he said, Republicans, you only have yourself to blame. Republicans, you are here, we are here because of the choices you made in primary season. And it just reminded me, and I haven’t said this yet on the show, but we’ve talked about it. You know, there will, of course, be conspiracy theorists who say, ‘Oh, this was always rigged against us,’ if Kamala Harris goes on to win. ‘Oh, this was — this was our fate. Our fate is’ — no, they chose their fate. We warned about what they were doing. I will tell you that I heard, I know you heard, I know so many people heard real excitement about another woman who was running for president, another woman that was — was younger and also had a diverse background. And that was Nikki Haley.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I can’t count the number of people I heard talking about how excited they were about Nikki Haley, whether they were Republicans, independents, Democrats. I heard a lot of Democrats talking about Nikki Haley, being excited about her, much in the same way they’re talking now about Kamala Harris. I mean, this, this is a choice that Republicans have made for, what, the past nine years. And this is where it has led them. And you just — you just wonder when they’re going to start focusing on winning elections again and — and not running — not running a grievance campaign.”
