A self-proclaimed democrat or liberal who's actions and opinions more closely resemble a republican or conservative. Also called a fashionable liberal.
He's such a closeted Republican. He claims to be against the death penalty but joined up on that band wagon lynch mob without a second thought.

A Republican who can't admit he's being fucked in the ass by his own party, much like a gay man in denial
My uncle is a closeted Republican. He still can't admit Republicans voted to fuck him over and send his job to Mexico. He still blames liberals even though Republicans wrote and passed the NAFTA bill that did it.
