Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld on Sunday defended his decision to pursue a 2020 Republican
primary challenge against President Trump, saying in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” that he
is acting in the best interests of the country.
“I think the Republicans in Washington want to have no election, basically. I don’t think that would
be very good for the country,” Weld told host Martha Raddatz.
Weld announced his decision in New Hampshire on Friday, becoming the first high-profile challenge to
Trump’s reelection bid.
In the ABC interview, Weld also criticized Trump’s leadership style, pointing to the president’s declaration
of a national emergency in pursuit of a wall along the border with Mexico.
“He thinks he has to humiliate whoever he’s dealing with, or else he’s half a man,” Weld said. “The emergency
declaration is just one example of that. Congress thought they had a deal. He says, ‘Oh, you think you have a
deal? I’m going to show you a deal. I’m going to show you who’s boss.’ It’s just no way to run a railroad.”
Oh goody! Another milquetoast capitulating RINO from the northeast. Someone wababa can get behind.
Very Presidential! :banger:
