NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough has made his departure from the GOP official.
The “Morning Joe” anchor said on Twitter on Thursday that he became an independent and he added a picture of himself with an elections official in New Canaan, Connecticut, smiling while holding a form.
I became an independent today. Here I am holding a copy of Donald Trump's birth certificate, proving he was born in Nambia. pic.twitter.com/9xZ6eh7Fr2

Actually, that's New Canaan Registrar of Voters John Amarilios after I became an unaffiliated voter. ?? https://t.co/30hmC2EkDE

Scarborough announced that he would leave the party in July and accused Republicans of abandoning their fiscal principles. Scarborough has been a fierce critic of President Donald Trump, who has targeted Scarborough and his fiancee and co-host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter.
Scarborough was elected to four U.S. House terms from Florida starting in 1994.
And now he’s an Independent asshole.
Lots of people who are too ashamed to admit they vote republican call themselves independents.
More like those claiming the GOP label left Scarborough, the modern “Republican” is no longer conservative in any way, shape or form.
This is a big, big deal…in Joe’s mind.
I thought he did this a few months ago. Whatever.
