The ABC host repeatedly challenged Sununu over his support for Trump, given all his past chastisements of him.
ABC host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday squabbled with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu over Sununu’s support for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump despite his past criticism of him.
On “This Week,” Stephanopoulos pushed Sununu on his individual views about Trump given his past disapproval of the former president’s conduct, with Sununu repeatedly responding by saying “51 percent” of Americans didn’t see Trump’s multiple indictments or his election denialism or his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, as disqualifying, so he was now comfortable backing Trump for president.
“This trial is not going to have major political ramifications that a lot of people think it may have. When it comes to these issues, people see it more as reality TV at this point,” Sununu said of the Trump criminal trial set to begin in New York this week. “They really do.”
……..
The discussion continued along those lines until Stephanopoulos said: “Just to sum up, you would support him for president even if he is convicted in classified documents. You would support him for president even though you believe he contributed to an insurrection. You would support him for president even though you believe he’s lying about the last election. You would support him for president even if he’s convicted in the Manhattan case. I just want to say, the answer to that is yes, correct?”
Sununu replied with enthusiasm: “Yeah, me and 51 percent of America.”

I’d developed a bit of respect for @GovChrisSununu for telling the truth about Trump. Now with a smile he tells the ugly truth about his own cynicism—he’s backing this deprived idiot because his idiot party does! So loathsome. How’s he live with himself? https://t.co/FVuacCkFAG

Wow @ChrisSununu. Then what the hell did you endorse and support @NikkiHaley for? Her 5-inch heels?
And no, 51% of Americans do not support insurrection or want a convicted felon for president. But you do. Just say that. Saying bullsh*t with a smile doesn't make it less… https://t.co/VSouXQaenV— Michael Steele (@MichaelSteele) April 14, 2024
