Latest fundraising totals show GOP ‘followed game show host off a cliff’: Morning Joe

Republicans who backed Donald Trump's second impeachment have raised more money than their GOP challengers, according to new Federal Election Commission filings, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough isn't surprised.

Eight impeachment-backing GOP lawmakers who are seeking re-election have outpaced their primary challengers, as the Republican National Committee debates ousting House select committee members Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who is running this year, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who is leaving Congress.

"I mean, wow, what an honor that would be," he added.
