Former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ) said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s conditional endorsement in the Alaska gubernatorial race is a sign that the Republican Party is headed in a scary direction.
Trump a day before endorsed Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R), but only on one condition: He must refuse to support Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in her reelection bid in 2022. Murkowski of course voted earlier this year to convict the former president on a charge of incitement of insurrection following the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
“Alaska needs Mike Dunleavy as Governor now more than ever,” Trump said in a Tuesday statement. “He has my Complete and Total Endorsement but, this endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski who has been very bad for Alaska, including losing ANWAR, perhaps the most important drilling site in the world, and much else. In other words, if Mike endorses her, which is his prerogative, my endorsement of him is null and void, and of no further force or effect!”

Whitman then compared Trump’s contingent support for Dunleavy to the actions of a dictator.
“If that isn’t the definition of trying to be a dictator, I don’t know what is. It’s a scary time for our democracy. And as you point out, Poppy, and very rightly, we ought to be worried and watching closely what’s happening down ballot. It’s not just Congress. It’s not just the Senate. It is the governors, it’s the secretaries of state and the attorneys general. It’s important, all the way down to the local level.”

It is a scary time because of uniparty members like dunleavy.
Christie Todd Whitman can crook her pinky finger as she tips her tea...
I care not.
Who is the fat man?
Used to love listening to him on the radidio.
And so to save their sorry hindquarters they attack the only actually popular politician around and trot out the Lizzies and MooCows and this sorry retread to do so.
We got it GOP. These are the public face of YOUR GOP. Now take your freak show and get out of town. We have some serious bidness to attend to cleaning up the raw sewage you left flowing through the streets of the Capitol.
Ever notice how these corrupt people being interviewed like to call their interviewer, and they will do it every other sentence, by they first name? Fauci will invariably use that hug and touch technique, trying to convey that he is “just family” and a very non-threatening, urgent seeker of all that is good for the people and for anyone to suggest any other motive on his part is being evil.
Get off my phone!
“Nobody outside of NJ even knows who this hag is...”
Correct. I lived in NJ when she was Gov and she may be a Republican in name but she is definitely not a Conservative.
Whitman is closer to Cheyney than Trump. She has had no career for many moons.
LOL!
“Just ended her political career”…
Are you kidding? I thought she was dead! Whitman is and has been a Pro Abortion DEMOCRAT for years. The dying press pull her from irrelevance to slam Republicans as needed.
FO YWPOS CTW.
Wow digging up thr corpse of RINO Whitman to bash Trump?
These people are scared and pathetic.
Christine, who did you vote for last month? I bet it was Murphy, be wise he is like you, an ass...
They are better than Christine!! 🤓
“Just ended her political career”…
Hmm-she’s 75.
Not sure Whitman is even a RINO!
“Phil Graham running for POTUS? “
Recall that Senator Graham was originally elected as a Democrat and later switched parties and won election as a Republican. He saw the light as the Dems were turning too far left for the Texas Senator. I wish a few of the current D Senators would take a lesson from Senator Graham. One of his proposals was for a “Guest Worker” program to allow necessary workers to come to the US from Mexico without opening the border to the masses of illegal entrants as we are now seeing. He certainly would have been a better President than those we have running the current administration.
I get that being a NJ Republican is very different, but dont think it extends outside of the state.
“If that isn’t the definition of trying to be a dictator, I don’t know what is.”
If that isn’t an indication of senile dementia, I don’t know what is.
