MSNBC host and former GOP Rep. Joe Scarborough said he is leaving the Republican Party during an appearance Tuesday on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Scarborough, who has been blasted by the White House for his criticism of President Trump, made the announcement on the show that will air Tuesday night.

“I am a Republican but I’m not gonna be a Republican anymore,” Scarborough said on the show.

“I’m gonna become an Independent.”

The former congressman served as a Republican in Florida’s 1st District from 1995 to 2001.

Scarborough and “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski have been on the receiving end of withering insults from Trump’s infamous Twitter account.
