Indictment Gives Never Trump Candidates New Weapon

Asa Hutchinson and Will Hurd, two of the most vehemently anti-Donald Trump candidates in the Republican presidential primary, took Tuesday’s four-count indictment of the former president as vindication. “I have always said that Donald Trump is morally responsible for the attack on our democracy. Now, our system of Justice will determine whether he is criminally responsible,” Hutchinson, a former congressman and former Arkansas governor, said in a statement shortly after the charges were unveiled.He also took the opportunity — as he has in the past — to say Trump should withdraw from the GOP race because of the indictment.“The latest indictment reaffirms my earlier call that Donald Trump should step away from the campaign for the good of the country. If not, the voters must choose a differ...

Asa Hutchinson Blasts 2024 GOP Rivals For Considering Pardoning Donald Trump

Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson on Sunday called out some of his 2024 rivals for pledging to pardon front-runner Donald Trump if they get elected.“I think that anybody who promises pardons during the presidential campaign is not serving our system of justice well, and it’s inappropriate,” Hutchinson told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”Hutchinson’s criticism follows Nikki Haley’s comments that she would be open to pardoning Trump, who’s being prosecuted on serious felony charges, “in the best interest of the country.”“We’ve got to quit living in the past, and I don’t want there to be all of this division over the fact that we have a president serving years in jail over a documents trial,” Haley told CBS’ Margaret Brennan on Sunday. “I want all of this to go away.”Trump has been in...

Asa Hutchinson’s Interview With Tucker Carlson in Iowa Turns Into an Absolute Disaster, Glenn Beck Gives Hilarious Reaction – RedState

While Ron DeSantis stands to be the most anticipated participant at Iowa’s Family Leadership Summit on Friday, Asa Hutchinson may have already produced the most viral exchanges. In what can only be described as an abject disaster, the 2024 hopeful sparred with Tucker Carlson, the on-stage interviewer at the forum. The main point of contention came from a discussion on the transitioning of children under the guise of “gender-affirming care.” The history behind this is that Hutchinson vetoed a bill in 2021 that would have prevented the mutilation of children through surgical and chemical means, including things like hormone and puberty blockers. That set off a firestorm on the right, who saw it as a surrender to those in the transgender lobby. Hutchinson then ruffled feathers further by ...
