Kelly Ayotte Refuses Three Times to Explain "Unwavering" Support for Trump
In last night's final gubernatorial debate in New Hampshire, former Senator Kelly Ayotte declined three opportunities to answer basic questions from the panel on her "unwavering" support for former President Donald Trump despite his 34 felony convictions and being found liable of sexual abuse.
Here are the questions Kelly Ayotte refused to answer:
As WMUR's Steve Bottari notes, Ayotte's refusal to answer questions about her support for Trump despite his criminal convictions is particularly striking given Ayotte's own background as a former Attorney General and prosecutor - jobs that center on holding individuals accountable and upholding the rule of law - and given her decision in 2016 to withdraw her support for Donald Trump, citing her daughter and calling it a "matter of principle."
This brutal exchange comes on the heels of a New York Times report detailing how "independent women… might have qualms about Ms. Ayotte" given her support of Trump.
