Fox News Contributor Predicts Independents Will ‘Go In Favor’ of Trump Because ‘Republicans Right Now Look Like the Adults in the Room’

Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz predicted on Thursday that independent voters would ultimately “go in favor” of former President Donald Trump because “Republicans right now look like the adults in the room.”

During a discussion on Fox News’ Hannity about the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar Trump from the ballot, Chaffetz told guest host Kellyanne Conway:

Going after Donald Trump is the ultimate big fish, and the idea that you can actually take somebody down who has never been charged, never convicted of insurrection, as they call it, it’s just absolutely stunning that they would actually get behind this. The very people who preach democracy, “we have to get rid of Donald Trump to protect democracy,” want to tear down democracy. They don’t like a constitutional republic that we have in this country.

At the end of the segment, Chaffetz predicted, “I think true independents, people who are concerned about our country, they go in favor of Donald Trump because the Republicans right now look like the adults in the room. They’re the ones talking about principles and fairness, not the Democrats.”

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled this week that Trump was ineligible for office, citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition of anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” holding “any office.”

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig criticized the “square peg into a round hole” ruling on Wednesday and predicted that it would be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Colorado tried to sort of take this state-level proceeding that’s not really made for this type of insurrection determination and force a square peg into a round hole,” said Honig. “And I think that violates Donald Trump’s due process rights, and I think the U.S. Supreme Court’s gonna reverse because of that.”
