Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump was “misleading” Republican voters about January 6, 2021.
Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “Donald Trump has remade your party. How do you define who your supporters are?”
Hutchinson said, “Well first of all, you’re correct, he has redefined the Republican Party and not in a good way. And whenever you look at what I’m trying to do, is draw attention to the fact that Donald Trump is a weak candidate for us going into the general election. I think the CBS poll that you cited today reflected that. The one person that ought to enjoy that poll is Joe Biden, with Trump having that kind of a lead in the primary.”
He addede, “My responsibility and other candidates is to take on the front-runner if you don’t agree that he’s the right one. We’ve been doing that and there might be a short-term price for that but long-term fear, fear-mongering and grievances only take you so far. So, that is the sign of a weak candidate as you go further into this election year. So, the voice is critically important to alert people that we can’t mislead our voters and say January 6 was a patriotic act. It was an if attack on our Capitol and the rule of law in Congress and we cannot buy into that misleading by Donald Trump.”

Getting so sick of all the BS about the 6th. Look at the videos of President Trump on that day. Doesn’t follow any of the narratives the RINOS and corrupt liars of the Democratic Party. Karma is coming for all of them!
J6 was nothing more than the biggest false flag operation in history to push a narrative .so Hutchinson shut up and go away we don’t want to hear your BS
