Governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson speaks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday, Nov 30, 2022. Hutchinson endorsed Trump in the 2020 presidential election, but in recent months grew critical after Trump hosted rapper Kanye West and white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.
“I understood the risk to our democracy from those that undermined our principle of equality under the law,” he said. “I will never understand leadership that chooses to diminish or divide Americans, and I will never understand why a leader would give credibility to such hate-filled extremists by breaking bread with them.”
During his Wednesday speech, Hutchinson said he believed the U.S. core values in foreign policy, included protecting “our peace and freedoms” along with a larger responsibility “to do what is practical and realistic to support those who want basic freedoms across the globe.”
