Former Republican Govs. Chris Christie (NJ) and Asa Hutchinson (AK) were booed during their introductions at the debate on Wednesday.
Both Christie and Hutchinson have positioned themselves as the most prominent anti-Trump candidates in the race and have routinely either downplayed the indictments against the former president or outright supported them. Last week, during Trump’s fourth indictment, the former Arkansas governor made no determination while saying that he had used such charges to prosecute “terrorist organizations” in the past.
The former governor then said that he expects the voters to determine Donald Trump’s future, adding that he believes the former president’s past actions disqualify him from serving in the presidency. “Regardless of the specifics of the Georgia indictment, I expect the voters will make the ultimate decision on the future of our democracy,” he said.
“Over a year ago, I said that Donald Trump’s actions disqualified him from ever serving as President again. Those words are more true today than ever before. I will have additional comments after I review the details of the indictment.”Donald Trump has disqualified himself from ever holding our nation’s highest office again.
