Republican strategist and pollster Frank Luntz is warning former President Donald Trump that members of the GOP are mocking him for being ‘childish’ and are fed up with talk about the 2020 election.
‘Trump isn’t the same man he was a year ago,’ Luntz told the Daily Beast.
‘Even many Republicans are tired of going back and rehashing the 2020 election,’ he added. ‘Everybody else has moved on and in Washington everyone believes he lost the election.’
The comments come after Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu called the former president ‘f***ing crazy’ at the Gridiron Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, which turned out to be a COVID-19 superspreader event.
Luntz said that Sununu’s comments were indicative of a larger feeling within the Republican Party veering away from Trump.
‘I don’t know a single Republican who was surprised by what Sununu said,’ Luntz said.
‘He said what they were thinking,’ the media maven continued. ‘They won’t say it [in public], but behind his back, they think he’s a child. They’re laughing at him. That’s what made it [Sununu’s comments] significant.’
