Scarborough believes that the tenets of fundamentalist Christian morality apply to civic affairs. He was quoted on Christiane Amanpour's documentary series "God's Warriors" on CNN as saying, "I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a Christocrat. My allegiance is to Jesus Christ". He has said, "America is at war with the devil", and he supports "voting Biblically." In 2006, he criticized John Danforth for supporting stem cell research. He has publicly supported Justice Antonin Scalia.
He supports filing lawsuits wherever he perceives homosexuality as contradicting Christian religious freedom. Thus, he has been described as anti-homosexual.
He has also recently endorsed Mike Huckabee for president. Concerning the decision of Texas Governor Rick Perry to vacinate all 6th grade women against those HPV strains that are most likely to produce cancer after infection, Scarborough said, "Nor we can not overlook the moral dimension. The governor's action seems to signify that God's moral law regarding sex outside of marriage can be transgressed without consequence."
He has been accused of not being a real Baptist.
