Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this year, is speaking out on his decision not to endorse Donald Trump.
“I get asked a lot if I believe Trump is a threat to our democracy,” he writes in a USA Today op-ed. “I am not good at predicting the future, but we can learn from history and we should take heed when politicians tell us what they are going to do.”
Hutchinson says in the piece that he voted for Trump twice, but that insight gleaned from former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) and the Department of Justice on the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol changed his mind.
“In terms of history, we all witnessed the violent attack on our national Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by those wishing to overturn the last election,” he writes. “This was not an act of patriots as Trump likes to say, but it was a real threat to democracy.”
“With Donald Trump’s domination of the GOP primaries and the elimination of all primary opponents, including the party leadership and Republican elected officials are clicking their heels in obedience to the victor and presumptive nominee. I have not endorsed Donald Trump for president, and I will not do so,” he writes.
But Hutchinson says he can’t support Biden’s policies either.
“Another important point to make is that I also will not vote for President Joe Biden. Biden’s weak border policies, his poor economic record and his slow growth energy policy do not justify reelection.”
He believes the J6 crooked committee and lying Cheny? That tells you all you need to know.
You are so right. It is no wonder Hutchinson got no where in the primary. He would be a terrible President.
Yes it does say it all. He lacks only two things , discernment and common sense! The “insurrection” was a Democrat and a partisan media farce. In addition, the only insight one could gain from Cheney is that she is working for the other side.
Exactly! What a piece of work he is. History shows Trump as an excellent asset of the USA. Where has Hutchison been living?
What a dumba$$!
For the Uniparty DC Estd Swamp
….like we didn’t know that the RINO, Clinton Cabal Bootlicker Hutchinson was going to stab Trump in the back? This is Arkansas….the personal home of Clinton Cabal Leaders and their minions. I just wonder how much money Asa made helping Bill, Hillary and The CIA move drugs through Arkansas …just like the “old days”. I hope he dies a slow, painful death and that he is in agony before and after his death. F…him.
So how was his Democratic Traitorship “costly”? Did they cut back on his RINO rations or what?
He bought the LIE. SAD
