While most Republicans running for president are rallying to Donald Trump’s defense after the Colorado Supreme Court kicked the former commander in chief off the ballot Tuesday, one GOP presidential candidate is wholeheartedly agreeing with the decision.
It was a 4 to 3 ruling in which the state’s Supreme Court decided Trump should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment, which precludes candidates who engaged in an insurrection, a bogus reference to the events of Jan. 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol.
Now, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is among the lowest polling candidates for the Republican nomination, is voicing complete support for the legal ruling.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling barring Donald Trump from the presidential ballot is what I raised as a concern in the first presidential debate in Milwaukee,” Hutchinson wrote.
