June 19, 2023 --

RNC head Ronna McDaniel must bar Asa Hutchinson from the Republican presidential primary debates for his comments, posted below, on the Biden/Garland indictment of former president Trump -- in the unlikely event he would otherwise qualifiy to participate in the debates,

The same goes for Chris Christie and his mealy-mouthed critique of the embattled former president.

Too bad we can't expect McDaniel to rally the GOP round the Trump re-election bid. But is it too much to ask her to send the backstabbers packing?

Shame on A. Hutchinson for this statement giving aid and comfort to the Deep State, of which it may be said: where the Deep State thrives, democracy dies.

The American people owe Donald J. Trump a debt of gratitude for dragging the Deep State out into the open, from the shadows. Now, this, from the former Arkansas governor:

“Donald Trump’s actions – from his willful [sic] disregard for the Constitution to his disrespect for the rule of law – should not define our nation or the Republican Party,” former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson said in a statement.

“This is a sad day for our country. While Donald Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence, the ongoing criminal proceedings will be a major distraction. This reaffirms the need for Donald Trump to respect the office and end his campaign.”
