“The delegates! The delegates!” the women on the panel responded like trained party operatives. Never mind that
Harris did not earn those delegates in a primary election. And never mind that the delegates have not yet voted.
Then came the descent into actual tyrannical madness.
“Let me flip it if I could,” Sununu said moments later. “What if I said ‘You know what, Trump, you’re losing in the polls now, and we have another candidate.’ And the head of the Republican National Committee and myself and a bunch of others say, ‘We’re just gonna instill Nikki Haley now because the polls –‘”
Griffin interrupted him.
“I wish we had a party that could operate that way,” the purple-blouse-and-necklace-wearing tyrant joked.
Never be deceived by appearances. Authoritarians do not always come dressed in brown shirts with goofy mustaches. More often, they look like Griffin.
Sununu, of course,
endorsed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. No doubt he still secretly pines for a warmongering establishment GOP nominee. Even so, he did not take Griffin’s bait.
“That would be awful for America,” he said.
“Why?” Behar asked.
Yes. She seriously asked that.
“Because the voters have to decide,” Sununu replied.
“It would be two women against each other,” Behar said, as if that justified party elites overruling voters.
