Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Tuesday warned that former President Trump is “dividing” the Republican Party.

Hutchinson, who is barred from seeking a third term as governor in 2022, spoke to CNN’s John Berman about House Republicans attempting to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) from her position as the Republican Party's conference chair over her criticisms of the former president.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Monday that he has officially scheduled a vote for Wednesday to remove Cheney from her post.

"Whenever we do not have the president in power from our party, you have divided leadership — you have many different voices," Hutchinson said. "And former President Trump is dividing our party, and so it's important that we not unite with someone who is dividing our party.”

Hutchinson said that Cheney, who is the No. 3 House Republican, should not be “ousted for a vote of conscience.”

“I believe that we need to concentrate on more things that bring us together than to separate us, and going down and seeing former President Trump, to me, causes more division than anything else,” the outgoing governor said.

Then please allow us the same liberty to “make a vote of conscience”

[cdcdawg]

Yep. Pick a side, Asa.

[pgyanke]

Yes... and Jesus divides us all. Truth is divisive to those who deal in lies.

Republican governor of Arkansas says 'Trump is dividing our party'

Yes, he is. He's dividing the GOP between those who, like him, put ordinary Americans first and those who, like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, put illegal aliens and Wall Street firms first. I know which side I'll be on, and I now know which side Asa Hutchinson will be on.

RINO cuck ant-Trumper.

You turned your back on the President the grass-roots members of your party voted for, and threw him to the wolves, and then claim he is the one who's dividing the Republican Party? Another day, another insult to my intelligence.

Gone over to CNN. That tells all about him.

If driving a few RINOS out is divisive, may I have more please!

[Taxman]

On OUR side, we have President Trump and the “Good Guys ‘N Gals.”

Which side are you on, Gov?

[montag813]

Asa is smart. Corporate directorships, K Street cash, perhaps a university presidency...all now await him for turning on the hated Trump.

Put a sock in it, Asahole, you RINO.

[Red Badger]

Yes, he’s separating the Conservatives and the RINOS...................

Hutch...it’s so simple: unite behind the pro-liberty, pro-freedom, pro-America, and pro-constitution side and you won’t be divided.

[stanne]

Yep. He did not come to bring peace.

Trump is doing no such thing.

The Republican Party has been divided for some time now. Long before Trump even entered the political scene.

Let Cheney vote her conscience. However, she was only part of the 5% of the House GOP who voted for impeachment. She doesn’t belong in a leadership position. And there are consequences for voting your conscience. Cheney seems to think that she doesn’t have to answer to her constituents. The WY GOP has already censured her.

NO ASA!

You people pretending to be "Conservative", while doing the bidding of the Uni-Party are the ones dividing Republicans!!!!
