President Donald Trump reportedly voted by mail in Florida’s Republican primary despite his repeated claims that mail-in ballots are “cheating” and “fraud.” Chris Sununu, the former Republican governor of New Hampshire, attempted to defend Trump’s claims during a segment on CNN’s “The Source” with host Dana Bash, and inadvertently let the mask slip about his own feelings on Trump’s argument. <\/p>\n

Bash played a mashup of Trump’s previous attacks on mail-in voting and asked Sununu to respond. <\/p>\n

“Optics matter,” Sununu said. “<\/span>I support the president, but<\/span> this is definitely a bad move.<\/span> I’m very much against mail-in<\/span> voting myself, and I think it’s<\/span> rife with a whole lot of<\/span> problems. We don’t have it in<\/span> New Hampshire. We have the<\/span> highest voter turnout in the<\/span> country. So no, you can’t go<\/span> around railing on mail-in<\/span> voting and then go ahead and<\/span> do it yourself. It kind of<\/span> deflates the argument a little<\/span> bit. So, [I] wish I<\/span> wasn’t defending that on CNN<\/span> tonight.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill de Blasio, the former Democratic mayor of New York City, who was also on the panel, chimed in that Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting could hurt his chances during the midterms. <\/span><\/p>\n

“The bottom line is these kinds of hypocrisies, this kind of personal obsession, whether it’s the ballroom, mail-in voting, [or] the Qatari jet, he’s just losing,” de Blasio said. “He’s losing his<\/span> audience more and more, and I<\/span> don’t know how they’re going to<\/span> change course between now and<\/span> the midterms at this point.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
