Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson called on other Republicans to take on Donald Trump in an interview with ABC News as part of the 'Candidates in Conversation' series.
August 19, 2023, 8:18 AMRepublican Presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson speaks during an interview with ABC News' MaryAlice Parks, at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa, on Aug. 14, 2023.As former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson still works to make the debate stage in Milwaukee, he's urging other Republican candidates to do more to take on former President Donald Trump, who now faces four criminal indictments.
Asked by ABC News Correspondent MaryAlice Parks in a sit-down interview at the Iowa State Fair if the rest of the field should be more vocal -- with Parks noting that just Hutchinson, former Gov. Chris Christie and former Rep. Will Hurd are condemning Trump on the trail -- Hutchinson said, "They should" with "what's at stake for both our party and our country."
"They should speak the truth in reference to Donald Trump. He's dangerous for our country. He is self-centered. At this point, he's looking out for himself," Hutchinson said. "He's already set his agenda for a second term, which is to get even. It is about revenge. And this is not what we need in America."
"People need to be clear on it. They need to speak out about it. I understand that they want to be reticent because they don't want to offend any voter in this, but this is an unusual time, with a lot at risk. And you've got to speak clearly," he told Parks.
"These issues need to be resolved. And so the prosecution is doing the right thing by saying, 'We've got to get this resolved and it shouldn't just simply wait till after the election,'" said Hutchinson, a formal federal prosecutor.
