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.”

And listen to the abject fear. They're VERY worried that THEIR types of republicans are going to be swept out of office at all levels, and the types of republicans they have been thwarting for decades are going to be swept INTO office.
Their RINO hegemony is coming to an end.
The fat man thinks endorsement of a candidate is a dictatorship.
You can’t fix this level of stupid.
Yes it is scary because of traitors like you bitch
Whitman is a disgrace.
Does her opinion really count? Remember Phil Graham running for POTUS? His choice for a VP: “Unfortunately Sophia Loren is not a US citizen.” The media jumped on it and Whitman followed through. Sick of these people. No sense of humor.
Whitman is pure, unadulterated scum.
Nobody outside of NJ even knows who this hag is and those of us who do don’t give a flying fck what she has to say. She’s the scrawney female Christie.
OMG! You mean Trump supports those in the party who support his positions rather than the positions of the RINO establishment? Unprecedented!
RINOs only find this “scary” because they know they’re losing.
When is flim flam Florio going to make a statement?
Propers to the late, great Bob Grant.
Christine Todd Whitman just ended her political career. These RINOs just can’t help themselves sometimes, like moths to flames.
REPUBLIC, you Anti-Trumpster.
Former RINO governor, you mean.
This is the same Christine Tard Whitless who told the 911 rescuers the air around ground zero was perfectly safe resulting in their deaths years later, something she has never apologized for. She has ZERO cred to say ANYTHING about ANYONE.
Christine Todd Rino is what is wrong the GOP.
Another typical politician who sells their soul to be liked by the establishment.
I challenge anyone to tell me what good this politician has done for the GOP or the country. Having an “R” that follows your name is no longer good enough.
“...Their RINO hegemony is coming to an end....”
They will not be allowed to just retire into the sunset. Losing their power is just the beginning of their pain and suffering.
Why do they keep digging up all these has been politicians? Nobody care what they think.
Another traitor.
Will these Pro-Abortion shrews ever be out of the Republican Party?
How much does the CCCP pay her to say this stuff? Some enterprising reporter needs to ask. Get me her phone number and I’ll ask her myself.
