    Asa Hutchinson was Governor of Arkansas from January 2015 to January 2023. Note that he is only just now saying anything at all.

    Which is to say that while he was licking the orange hand that fed him, he was all too content to let anything negative regarding Trump remain unsaid.

    Hutchinson is only speaking up now because he’s trying to rally GOP voters who won’t vote at all if the spraytan antichrist can’t be president again. You don’t even have to read between the lines, it’s right there:

    The former Arkansas governor told the Florida Freedom Summit in Kissimmee, Florida, that such an outcome [felony conviction] will make it harder for Republicans down the ticket to win their races if Trump, who is leading in the polls, wins the 2024 Republican nomination.

    . . . “That may or may not happen. Before you vote in March, and it might not make any difference to you, but it will make a difference for our chances to attract independent voters in November. It will make a difference for those down-ticket races for Congress and Senate, and it will weaken the GOP for decades to come. As a party, we must support the rule of law,” he said. [note in brackets added by me]

    He’s literally begging them to vote even if Trump is convicted and therefore cannot be president, because he’s only worried about the GOP falling from power and wants their votes for the rest of the GOP downticket candidates.

    You don’t really think Fox News is going to glorify a turncoat with coverage, do you? If he’s on Fox News, he hasn’t jumped ship at all, lol.
