Sondland has now declared that he is supporting Trump’s presidential campaign in 2024.
Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union shared his stunning endorsement with MSNBC.
The surprise revelation left liberal anchor Ari Melber visibly agitated.
Democrats insist that the January 6, 2021, protest was a threat to democracy that disqualifies Trump from ever holding public office again.
But Sondland, who previously condemned Trump over Jan. 6, said he sees much bigger threats after four years of President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris.
“I’ve now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country’s way of life but to our allies as well,” Sondland said.
Melber started to loudly interrupt, shouting:
“I’m going to let you finish, but this is so striking.
“You said it was a ‘no for me’ after that, after Jan. 6.
“And here we are right now, and you’re saying it’s a yes for you?”
“It is a yes, for me,” Sondland confirmed.
“It is an absolute yes for me.
“That is how badly the Biden-Harris team have prosecuted their job.”
Not letting the issue go, Melber continued to bring up Sondland’s past comments on Jan. 6.
Melber suggested that Sondland was arguing that Jan. 6 was an “attack on democracy” that is “bigger than any policy.”
But Sondland explained that Harris and Biden have lost him on both the policy front and the “democracy” issue.
He noted that Democrats’ desired electoral “reforms” could result in “massive voting irregularities.”
“I am seeing so many attacks on democracy that eclipse Jan. 6th,” Sondland said.
It isn’t news that the media are obsessed with Jan. 6.
Outside of glossy cable news studios, however, most Americans are worried about crime, the border, and the cost of living.
Sondland, a hotel magnate, emphasized that “policy matters,” noting Democrats have “decimated” his city of Portland, Oregon, and “they don’t want to fix it.”
“Businesses are suffering,” he said.
“My own business is suffering solely for political reasons, and it’s all fixable and they don’t want to fix it.”
WATCH:
How will talking heads like Ari Melber react if Trump wins the election?
Will they call that an attack on democracy too?
Sondland won’t be invited back to MSNBC again either way.
