ABC host George Stephanopoulos grilled New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) for supporting Donald Trump after attacking him during the primaries.
During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, Stephanopoulos asked Sununu if he would support Trump even if he is convicted in a criminal trial. While supporting Nikki Haley earlier, Sununu had said Trump should drop out if convicted.
"This morning, history being made, tomorrow that criminal trial, will your support for Donald Trump continue even if he's convicted in Manhattan?" the ABC host asked.
"Yeah, look, this trial is not going to have major political ramifications that a lot of people I think think it may have," Sununu scoffed. "When it comes to these issues, people see it more as reality TV at this point."
"Well, yeah, you're going to politics, though I'm asking you about right and wrong," Stephanopoulos pointed out. "You're comfortable with the idea of supporting someone who's convicted of a federal crime as president?"
"Well, I don't — I don't think any American is comfortable with any of this," Sununu replied. "But I mean, when it comes to actually looking at each of these trials as they kind of take place, whether it's this year or next year, as they kind of line up the right now, this is about an election."
"Look, nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor supporting the Republican president," the governor added.
