NJ.com - Christie funder Meg Whitman calls Trump endorsement ‘political opportunism’

WASHINGTON — Hewlett-Packard chief executive Meg Whitman, a major contributor to Gov. Chris Christie’s ill-fated presidential campaign, called his endorsement of businessman Donald Trump “an astonishing display of political opportunism.”

In the statement, first reported by NBC News, Whitman called on other Christie supporters and donors to reject his lead. That put her at odds with the governor, who has told state and county Republican leaders that wanted them to back Trump as well.

Whitman, who was a co-chair of Christie’s national finance team, contributed $2,700 to his presidential campaign and another $200,000 to his aligned super political action committee, America Leads, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group.

“Chris Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump is an astonishing display of political opportunism,”Whitman said in the statement. “Donald Trump is unfit to be president. He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears. Trump would take America on a dangerous journey. Christie knows all that and indicated as much many times publicly. The governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I call on Christie’s donors and supporters to reject the governor and Donald Trump outright. I believe they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter.”

KA-BOOM!

I wonder who in the Republican party is responsible for following the elephants with the push broom, dustpan and the bag to hold all the foul crap being ‘released’ this year.
