“I cannot condone the vitriol and disregard for others that Trump has been exhibiting," Spillane added.
"A New Hampshire Republican said he is switching his support from former President Trump ot Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis following the 45th president’s harsh criticism of his former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany.
“I was one of the 51 original endorsers for former President Trump. But I cannot further continue endorsing him,” said New Hampshire state Rep. James Spillane. “I am withdrawing my endorsement. And I’m going to endorse Ron DeSantis,” he said. “The reason being that when I did endorse Trump I thought that he would be able to continue with a positive message, learn from his past mistakes and give us a way forward to continue the policies that he started before … But it’s become evident, especially with the latest attack on Kayleigh McEnany that there’s no loyalty in him.”
"Spillane’s announcement comes after he appeared on stage with Trump in April as one of the former president’s New Hampshire endorsers.
“ 'He can’t be trusted to stay loyal to the people who supported him in the past,” Spillane added, while noting that DeSantis is “a loyal person” who “brings a positive message.”
