Governor Maggie Hassan Statement on Kelly Ayotte's Attempt at Craven Political Self-Preservation

Statement

Today, Governor Maggie Hassan released the following statement on Kelly Ayotte and Donald Trump:

"Kelly Ayotte today simply reinforced that everything she does is based on cold, political calculations about what is in her personal best interest. After spending 24 hours running the political math, Ayotte has made a decision that is a transparent, craven attempt at political self-preservation. For months, Kelly Ayotte stood by Trump as he demeaned women, minorities, people with disabilities, Gold Star families, and was deemed a danger to our national security, even going so far as saying he should "absolutely' be a role model for children. What Kelly Ayotte doesn't seem to understand is the chance to show courage has long passed, and her hollow words today reveal as much about her own character as they do Donald Trump's. Her words are far too little and far too late."
