Fox News’ Brit Hume Puts Lara Trump On Blast Over ‘Stupid’ Campaign Move

Longtime Fox News analyst Brit Hume called out Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump for attacking one of her party’s own candidates for not being loyal enough to her father-in-law, Donald Trump.

“It’s political malpractice,” Hume said on Monday after Lara Trump slammed Larry Hogan, the popular former Republican governor of Maryland now running for Senate.

Hogan issued a statement before Donald Trump’s verdict last week calling on all Americans “to respect the verdict and the legal process,” regardless of the outcome.

Lara Trump fired back by saying Hogan “doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone in the Republican Party at this point, and quite frankly anybody in America.”

But Hume said Hogan is giving the GOP the best shot it’s had in a long time in Maryland, which hasn’t sent a Republican to the Senate in decades.

“And the Lara Trumps of the world ought to be saying, ‘Please, Mr. Hogan, Please Gov. Hogan, you do whatever you have to do to get elected, and some of the things you say and you believe in don’t agree with what I think, that’s OK, do what you have to do,’” Hume said. “That’s how politics is played by smart people.”

Hume pointed out that Donald Trump “gummed up the works” in Georgia in 2020 after he attacked Republican officials in the state during a tight Senate race.

“It cost the Republicans control of the Senate,” Hume said, warning that Trump could repeat that mistake. “That’s what could happen with this kind of stupid stuff.”

France’s hard-Left could soon bring down the eurozone

But hold on. The election massively strengthened the far-Left – and it is the Marxist extremists that pose the real threat to the survival

France will not have a far-right government, but that answer, that single fact, does not cover another crucial point. What's clear is that the French parliament will be split between three factions. The biggest, but well short of an absolute majority, will be a left-wing coalition, called the New Popular Front.
