Jarrett: GOP Leaders 'More And More Extreme And More And More Marginalized'

Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett said on ABC's This Week this morning that the GOP civil war in the NY-23 special congressional election shows that the Republican Party's leadership has become "more and more extreme, and more and more marginalized."

Yesterday, moderate GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava suspended her campaign after polls showed her trailing both the Democrat and a Conservative Party candidate that many prominent Republicans had declared their support for.

"It's rather telling when the Republican Party forces out a moderate Republican. And it says, I think, a great deal about where the Republican Party leadership is right now.

I think it's becoming more and more extreme, and more and more marginalized. And if that's the direction they want to go -- fine," Jarrett said.
