Mr. Sununu made a sacrifice to the DC Swamp gods last week at their annual Gridiron Dinner. He said Trump was [bleepin] crazy, among other things. Only it wasn’t a sacrifice, no matter what Sununu or “his people” tell you. It was easy, and he enjoyed it.
At least until he went on Howie Carr earlier this week. I guess Sununu’s Agent forgot that Carr asks actual questions, and he doesn’t kneel before the gods Sununu sought to appease.
From the Boston Herald.
[Sununu] basically said it was all a joke, and that I and everybody else who’s complaining were just “grumpy” and taking it all too seriously, because it was all in good fun.
I asked him how many non-Democrats were in the bipartisan crowd of “journalists,” and he said he had noticed “a few Republican elected officials.”
I asked him to name five. He didn’t answer. I asked him to name one other Republican in the room. He again couldn’t.
But he could rattle off the names of assorted Democrats in the house: Jen Psaki, John Forbes Kerry, Dr. Anthony Fauci. In other words, it was all Beltway banditos.
In other words, he wasn’t bad mouthin’ his girl in front “of the boys” for street cred just ‘cuz it was the boys, but he can’t name anyone who wasn’t a “made man” in the DC crime family.
Sununu also had words for Mike Lindell at the thing in DC, and Howie asked him about that too.
“His stuff is crap,” Sununu told the Democrats. “I mean, it’s absolute crap.”
I asked Sununu if he owned any My Pillow products.
“I don’t think I own any of his products.”
I own some of Mike Lindell’s products. I have some pillows, and they’re not crap.
“You only find that kind of stuff in the Trump Hotel,” he said.
So I asked the governor if he’s ever stayed in one of Trump’s hotels.
“I cannot afford a Trump hotel,” he said.
Mr. Sununu also claims to be a Republican (which is something else Mr. Trump was better at than him), but unlike Mr. Trump, Sununu was at the Gridiron Dinner with the DC elite and a handful of people he didn’t quite recognize as republicans.
So, he was in good company.
