GOP gov on Trump-Hitler comments: ‘We’ll hold our nose, we’ll vote for Trump’

There are Republicans who don’t mind that Donald Trump idolizes Adolf Hitler, for instance, Chris Sununu, the New Hampshire governor.

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan pressed Sununu on Trump’s comment to his former chief of staff, Ret. Gen. John Kelly, about wishing he’d had Hitler’s generals.

Sununu’s take: “It’s not just what Chris Sununu is going to be voting for.”

“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,” Sununu said. “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 percent plus one voter that are likely going to win this thing for Trump.

“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,” Sununu said. “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.”
