Scarborough: Republicans ‘Lived in a Bubble’ and Were ‘Afraid to Cross President Trump’

TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Some of them can say it out loud. There are a couple of things that are happening. I mean, one, they were afraid to cross President Trump. The second thing was they lived in a bubble. It was a lot like Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, where you actually had Mitt and Ann Romney, two people I’ve known and really liked for a very long time, but going into that evening, they were sure they were going to win. They lived in the Fox News bubble. Mitt was somebody who would come on our show all the time. Then he started running for president. He stopped coming on. He just started going on FOX. He started living in a bubble. And so, they didn’t know what the rest of America knew. Fox News anchors were shocked. You even had Karl Rove just saying, 'That can’t be right.' You know, Karl is always plugged in, but they built this information bubble that actually captured them, and it made them blind to the tsunami that was coming."
