Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, who is considering a primary challenge to President Donald Trump, accused Republican lawmakers in Washington, D.C. of not wanting to have a presidential election.
When asked about getting Republican support for his challenge, Weld said, “I think the Republicans in Washington want to have no election basically. I don’t think that would be very good for the country and I have a lot of views of how the president is acting in office. You know, I don’t think he knows how to act. He thinks he has to humiliate whoever he’s dealing with or else he’s half a man. The emergency declaration is just one example of that. Congress thought they had a deal. He says, ‘Oh, you think you have a deal? I’m going to show you a deal. I’m going to show you who’s boss.’ It’s no way to run a railroad.”
