‘It’s All About Results’: Chris Sununu Says He’s Sticking With Trump After John Kelly’s Hitler Bombshells
CNN’s Kate Bolduan interviewed New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) on Wednesday about John Kelly’s latest bombshell revelations, including that Donald Trump once said “Hitler did some good things.”
“Governor, thanks for being here. Hearing that you’re back, does that change how you feel about Donald Trump and your plans to vote for him?” Bolduan asked.
“No, look, I respect General Kelly. I think he’s great. He’s got a long-term relationship with the president. You know, when you get into these final weeks, it’s all about it’s all about results,” Sununu replied, adding:
So, of course, you’re going to get salacious things said and all that. And I’m not taking away the general’s conversation with the former president. But at the end of the day, you just want that poll that your team was just looking at opinions, what independents, what results.
They don’t want that kind of ultra, ultra-liberal extremism. They want to be told the truth. They want to get their cost of living down. That’s where voters are going to go. So it’s not just a Chris Sununu thing or General Kelly thing.
If you’re talking to the American voters out there, they just need a cultural change coming out of Washington. So, look, we’ve heard a lot of extreme things about Donald Trump from Donald Trump. It’s kind of par for the course. It’s really unfortunately, with with a guy like that, it’s kind of baked into the vote at this point. And so those last swing voters are just going to kind of push towards what’s going to get get a little easier on my family, a little ease on the cost of living.
“I hear your political and your astute political analysis on the kind of the state of play because as we have seen I was talking about with David Chalian earlier. History has shown in Donald Trump’s political career that there are, that things are baked in the extreme, that the things that he says do not move the needle one way or the other,” Bolduan replied, asking:
In a broad sense, maybe when it comes to a narrow few voters, which this election could come down to, but that’s something different. But in saying that you are going and I know you how you have talked about it, you’ve talked about it to me, you said you’re going to support the ticket and that’s what matters to you and supporting the ticket and saying that that is saying that you’re going to support someone who Marine General John Kelly says fits the definition of ‘fascist’ for sure.
He says he says that John Kelly says that Trump, quote, certainly prefers the dictator approach to government in supporting the ticket. That is something that you’re supporting. Is that something you are okay with?
“No. Look, I don’t think anybody should be okay with statements like that. Of course. And if there’s ever anyone you don’t want any sort of comparison to, it’s Hitler and all of that sort of thing. As we’ve discussed before, I think what it’s not just what Chris Sununu is going to be voting for. I think most of America is going to go this way. I do think Trump wins this thing in the end, and it’s about that change,” replied Sununu, adding:
People are willing to say, look, I don’t like his style. I don’t like his approach. I don’t like the things he says. But if we can get a Republican mindset out of Washington that says you come first as an individual, not big government.
States rights matter, regulatory reforms, we’re going to cut regulation out. We’re going to make things a little easier in terms of costs. We’re going to handle the inflation. I, I know, I know the media likes to talk about the salacious stuff, but I’m just trying to say whether it’s Chris Sununu or 50% plus one voter that are likely going to win this thing for Trump.
That’s what America I don’t know any American that would like any of those comments. Right? There’s nobody in America that would like that likes to hear that conversation about a potential for a future president of the United States. But that’s how bad things are. That’s how bad the Harris campaign has run things.
That’s how bad her message is. And that’s how bad the last three and a half years has been for a lot of Americans. They’re willing to say, look, we’ll hold our nose, we’ll vote for Trump. We need that culture change in an administration that puts people in this country first.
