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.”

Another worthless POS RINO is heard from...
Give me a break.
ANOTHER RINO WHO WANTS BIDEN.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT !!!
Said no one ever!
Someone who doesn't even hold political office announcing his preferences for who he wants to be elected are the actions of a 'dictator'?
And she believes these kinds of comments are level-headed and Trump is the one who is unhinged?
I think that those deeply within the American political establishment are so saturated with the belief that the government exists for the primary purpose of making and keeping themselves and their families regally wealthy and separated from the common or low classes that they are blinded to everything outside that perspective. They are psychotic in their drive to maintain a structure that keeps their oligarchical privilege intact.
