Sununu blasts 2024 GOP candidates over response to Trump indictment
Yahoo News ^ | 6/10/23 | Jared Gans

Posted on 06/10/2023 9:02:18 AM PDT by cotton1706

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) blasted the Republican 2024 presidential candidates for their reaction to the federal indictment of former President Trump, saying that they need to be willing to attack him to have a chance to win.

Sununu said in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday that he is surprised the other candidates running for the GOP nomination are not being more “aggressive” in calling out the allegations Trump is facing as a “huge problem.”

“When you’re running in a race, you’re trying to beat the guy ahead of you. You’re trying to knock him down, and given all the things and the rap sheet there that’s a mile long, you’d think that they’d be more aggressive,” he said.

Sununu said he understands that they are focusing on certain issues with the Justice Department (DOJ), which he said are “real,” but they need to focus on the facts with Trump facing a 37-count indictment over his handling of classified and sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago.

“You almost look like you’re defending him at this point,” Sununu said of the other candidates in the race. “That does not look like a serious candidate that’s willing to take him on over the next six months to knock his poll numbers down and shoot you to the top. Either you want to run for president and beat the guy or you don’t.”

Sununu apparently doesn't remember Romney, and McCain, and Bush, and Dole, and Bush, and especially Reagan and Nixon.

If Trump is taken out, the next in line for Democrat fury is whomever is next standing in the way of a Democrat's 2nd term.

They don't stop. The current Republican is the most evil person to have ever lived, since the last Republican, who was at the time the most evil person who ever lived. And so on.

Trump defeated them...several times. Their tired old hag was vanquished. And their blessed sacrament, Roe vs Wade, is now history. And that's just a start.

The Democrats are out for blood, and insidious vengeance. And as usual, Sununu stands with the Democrats.

Anyone with even the slightest sense of decency or any regard for equal justice under the law should be defending Trump's rights and pointing out the utter hypocrisy and unfairness of his prosecution. Let's face it, it's persecution at this point. Sununu is trash.

Sununu = Deep State Puppet

Now, lets see which ones smack him down, for this outrageous comment.

This hack provided some very low hanging fruit, to hit back at.

When are the people of this country going to wake up and stop voting for these clowns?

This man is an insult to any and every New Hampshire voter that voted for him.

Oh wait.....If I don’t vote for him, the Democrat will win.

What a strategy.

Here’s an option. If we give someone else a chance, maybe it’ll show that the process isn’t as rigged as the people think it is, more competent people might throw their hats in the ring and, just maybe, we might just elect someone worth a damn.

Team Sununu has been part of the Bush/Cheney faction since his dad was in 41’s administration. These people just want Trump destroyed and they don’t care if the Dems win as long as they control the GOP.

John Hancock’s ship Liberty is confiscated

On this day in history, June 10, 1768, John Hancock’s ship Liberty is confiscated for alleged smuggling. Many of the measures of Parliament with which the American colonies were in disagreement were created in order to raise revenue. Smuggling was a vast enterprise in the thirteen colonies and many of Parliament’s measures were directed at reducing it. Smugglers evading customs officials and the taxes they enforced reduced the Royal Treasury’s income.

On May 9, 1768, a ship owned by John Hancock sailed into Boston Harbor. The following day, the Liberty’s goods were inspected and the customs officials suspected Hancock of smuggling. The reason was that the ship only carried 25 barrels of Madeira wine, but it had the capacity for much more. They alleged that Hancock must have unloaded the rest of the cargo during the night before the goods were examined, but they had no evidence. Two customs officials were stationed on the ship during the night and they said nothing was unloaded... at first.

This followed another incident in April during which Hancock’s ship Lydia was boarded, also for suspected smuggling. In that incident, Hancock physically had the customs officials removed from the ship because they did not have a proper warrant. Suit was filed against Hancock, but later dropped because of the missing warrant. This may have made Hancock a marked man in the eyes of the humiliated customs officials.

A month after the original investigation into the Liberty’s alleged smuggling, one of the customs officials changed his story, saying some cargo actually had been removed in the night and the officials were forced to remain silent. On June 10, the Liberty was impounded, along with a new shipment of goods already loaded on her. The Liberty was hauled into the harbor and placed under guard by the HMS Romney, a British warship. When the Liberty was confiscated, a riot broke out in Boston. The homes of several customs officials were destroyed, causing several of them and their families to flee to the Romney.

Two suits were filed against Hancock, the first led to the permanent confiscation of the Liberty, which was put into the customs service and later burned by angry Rhode Island residents the following year. The second suit alleged Hancock smuggled wine and charged him for lost customs revenue plus damages. Hancock was represented by a young attorney named John Adams who would one day be president. The suit was finally dropped for lack of evidence.

It should be noted that no evidence has ever surfaced that Hancock was involved in any smuggling at all, even though he has that reputation. Of course, no records would have been kept about smuggling because it was illegal. Boston officials had already been calling for more security as they began enforcing the Townshend Acts. Boston had earned the ire of Parliament by issuing a circular letter calling for all the colonies to resist the Townshend Acts. The Liberty Incident only reinforced Britain’s decision to occupy Boston with military troops in October, 1768, to enforce customs laws, protect officials and reign in the rowdy citizens. The occupation would lead to the Boston Massacre in March, 1770.

Chris, I think people need to be more aggressive toward you.

If it gets that far, Biden's handlers will make sure all charges are dropped against Trump so he will be in the all clear to run for President.

Sununu goes on low ratings CNN to talk to a faggot thinking he’s going to get his message out to the Republican base. Sheer genius. Unfortunately, I read it here. My mind has not changed one iota.

Craven fumblewits like sununu Gail to grasp that once they succeed in eliminating Conservatives they will come after leftists like himself who are insufficiently Marxist.

They have always been there. We are going through clarifying times. It’s just easier to identify them now.

Instead of the social media CF we see today, I would rather return to the Reagan days of attacking the Dems, and contrasting your views from your GOP opponents.

But, I guess those days are gone.

I’ll bet Sununu still believes in the charges filed against Trump from the Steele dossier. I bet he regrets that democrats didn’t get Trump with the phony dossier. I bet that Sununu still wants Trump imprisoned for ‘calling for an insurrection’ on Jan 6,2021.

Sununu is exactly like the democrats, where he will do and say anything, as long ss he gets his way. I put him in the same category as Schumer and Pelosi and Schiff and Nadler and Biden. He has no integrity and no morals and no scruples.

You’d have to be pretty delusional to imagine that the Dems wouldn’t do the same thing to any Republican politician they don’t like. I read that some people wanted to bring charges against Abbot and DeSantis for “human trafficking” because they put illegals on a bus. I , at first, thought it was just meaningless posturing but now I’m sure they will do it if they can get away with screwing over Trump.
