As Donald Trump begins the first of his felony trials, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu showed us what it means to remain a “viable” Republican this year. In a painful and humiliating interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Sununu was repeatedly forced to describe exactly what he was willing to overlook with his endorsement of Trump.
During the interview with Stephanopoulos, the governor admitted again that Trump had “absolutely contributed” to the attempted violent overthrow of the government. But he said he would support him anyway, repeatedly citing polls that showed support for Trump. The host pressed him again, and Sununu made clear that he was putting party over country.
