Asked if he was the best messenger to make a case against Trump's reelection, Walsh said: 'I helped create Trump. And George, that's not an easy thing to say.'
Former Illinois congressman and current talk radio host Joe Walsh announced Sunday he will challenge President Donald Trump for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination.
Weld said on NBC's "Meet the Press" he is "thrilled" about Walsh's entry and is looking forward to more candidates potentially joining in the race. "They don't have an alternative," he said. "I’ll tell you what, George — and look, I’m running because he's unfit. Somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative. The country is sick of this guy's tantrum. He’s — he's a child."Once a defender of the president on his conservative talk show, Walsh responded to a question about how his listeners are responding to his recent critiques of Trump.
