After Saying Trump Is Unfit To Be President, N.H. Gov. Chris Sununu Slammed On Social Media For Flip-Flopping & Endorsing Him

After repeatedly saying Donald Trump is unfit to be president, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) was confronted by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos about his new support for the former president.

Interviewed on ABC’s This Week, Sununu was questioned for his support of Trump. Sununu previously backed former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and criticized Trump for contributing to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. In January, Sununu claimed Trump has “no energy” and can “barely read a teleprompter.”

Trump criticized Sununu far before the New Hampshire governor backed his then-presidential campaign opponent. Now, Sununu says he believes Trump should not drop out of the election race even if he is convicted in his classified documents case. 

Users took to social media to heavily criticize Sununu’s hypocritical stance on Trump, which is a complete 180 from his previous position. Others also pointed out how much Sununu overstated the percentage of Americans who support Trump. 

“Watching a person abandon his principles right there on TV,” wrote actress Mia Farrow. 

Some wondered if this is a publicity move for Sununu as other Republicans, such as former Vive President Mike Pence and Nikki Haley, have chosen not to support Trump.

Many online critics called Sununu’s interview “humiliating” for the governor.
