‘That’s Nonsense’ Fmr Republican Governor Destroys Democrat CNN Commentator On Live Television In Defense Of Trump

Former Minnesota Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) and CNN commentator Maria Cardona went at it on CNN when the latter accused former President Donald Trump of flip flopping on Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.

It is a hilarious accusation as the Democrat presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, has changed many of her past positions and the former governor shredded her for it.

“If flip-flopping or changing positions were a disqualifying factor for candidates, we’d have no one to serve in Congress and no one to run for president or vice president so let’s be clear about that. This is just one example of political expediency all over the board but it unfolds in the context of a crisis post-hurricane where genuinely Gov. Kemp needs help and empathy and understanding from national leaders, including former President Trump. And so those comments I think in that context were real, but let’s not kid ourselves. Vice President Harris has flip flopped on a bunch of important stuff. Most of them do and it’s just what they do, they’re politicians,” the former governor said.

“First of all, let me just say, there’s no both-sidesing this issue. I’m sorry. There is no one that flip-flops on a personal level like Donald Trump. He is saying these great things about Gov. Kemp today. I wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow he is back at calling him a coward and a traitor if he doesn’t think that governor Kemp is doing what Donald Trump wants him to do. There is no one at that stratospheric level of not just flip-flopping, but of utter insulting and using people for their own self-interests. So I just had to underscore that. Let’s be very clear. Nothing will change with his base, right?” the Democrat said.

“He was very clear from the beginning. He could go shoot somebody on Fifth avenue and his base will never leave him. But Georgia and all of these other swing states have people that he needs to bring into the tent that he is not doing. He is not going to bring in independents, suburban voters, he’s not going to bring in people who are undecided with the kind of hypocrisy that he is using now towards Gov. Kemp,” she said before the former governor responded.

“That’s nonsense. I mean, you look at vice president Harris’s comments over the arc of time, including implying in a presidential debate in ’20, the last time Biden and her were on the stage together, implying President Biden might be racially insensitive and then it turns out to be his vice president so that’s a bunch of BS,” he said.
