Arkansas Gov: January 6 “Disqualifies” Trump For WH

January 1, 2023 Politics, Republicans

“I do not believe that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States. I think he’s had his opportunity there.

“I think Jan. 6 really disqualifies him for the future. I want to see everything I can do to make sure there is the alternative, and that Donald Trump is not the not the nominee of the party.

“That’s the first thing. And let’s figure out how to do that. I think you have to start him out as the front-runner simply because he’s polling that well. He’s the former president.” – Outgoing Arkansas governor and likely presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson, today on ABC This Week.

Hutchinson went on to twice dodge direct questions on whether he’d support Trump as the nominee.

“I do not believe that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States…I think Jan. 6 really disqualifies him for the future. And so we move beyond that. And that’s what I’m going to be focused on,” Arkansas Gov. Hutchinson tells @JonKarl. https://t.co/xCAmiEc9Ly pic.twitter.com/LTm6SvsuqK
