That’s a rhetorical question, of course. We saw during the 2016 campaign the way he relentlessly sucked up and promoted Donald Trump only to turn into a hero of the anti-Trump faction once Trump had the nomination.

Here’s the backstory. Scarborough is on a tear lambasting the NRA, gun rights advocates, and many gun owners as terrorist sympathizers and accessories to murder.

“We Americans?”

-95% of Americans want stronger background checks
-75% want military-style weapons banned
-75% of Americans don’t own a gun
-3% own half of all guns

AND EVEN SCALIA refused to rule that the 2nd Amendment applied to military-styled weapons. https://t.co/All84szImf

Maybe you can use NRA campaign cash doled out to Florida politicians to pay those expenses. Set up a memorial fund while you’re at it with the NRA millions that allow the slaughter of our children to continue year after year. https://t.co/bhHTqKNPS8

The NRA’s agenda has nothing to do with gun rights. It’s about gun sales. Most gun owners I know agree they’ve become too extreme.

When it comes to gun laws, Republicans and NRA lobbyists in DC are out of touch politically and constitutionally. History is not on their side. https://t.co/0E4rej6DsQ

As the pace of these deadly school tragedies quickens, Republicans refuse to do anything to make our children safe in their classrooms. https://t.co/O1cXKtwkBu

But is this the real Joe Scarborough? You may recall back to when Scarborough was a member of Congress. And the difference is rather stunning.

The Daily Caller has found Scarborough’s candidate questionnaires. They are pretty interesting.

The NRA must elect & support candidates who will view the gun rights issue as a constitutional battle. The founding fathers did not give us the 2nd Amendment to protect our rights to shoot ducks. Our constitutional right to bear arms is so we may protect our family in the manner we choose. No compromise!

Pretty strong stuff, eh?

Here is Joe, again, on banning weapons and limiting magazine size:

Let’s be serious. Gun control is Joe Scarborough’s new Mika. Just like he cheated on and eventually dumped his wife for something he perceived more glamorous and useful to his career, Scarborough has now dumped his entire history of principles and the U.S. Constitution.
