Former NJ Governor: Take Trump Out
Whitman is from the corrupt wing of the corrupt GOP.
She suggests "Republicans" apply pressure on President Trump to resign.
But she does so in such strong language that one might surmise, really, she is telling the nation the president needs to be simply removed from office.
Christine Todd Whitman is telling America that President Trump can now be considered illegitimate.
My take: Whitman actually seems to be encouraging those who are already suggesting violence.
Let us bear in mind that if ever such a thing were to come to pass, if heaven forbid the seditionists do the worst before POTUS can begin locking them up, then it will remain for us to take our country back.
Most likely we will lose this board and all other means of congregating, but it will fall to us to become the armed "resistance" and make this nation truly ungovernable until all of the seditionists are dead.
Trump 'unfit' for office and Republicans should urge him to quit, says ex-N.J. Gov. Christie Whitman

Whitman, a consistent Trump critic, said enough is enough. She called on Trump to resign in a tweet shortly after the summit.
Mr #President, you should be ashamed. To deny your own country and government in favor of a foriegn leader whose country has, for decades, tried to undermine the #UnitedStates is irrational and dangerous. Please step down, you are not fit to lead this great #nation. #TrumpPutin

But she wasn't done.
In the op-ed, Whitman said her fellow Republicans "have to end their willful ignorance of the damage Trump is doing both domestically and internationally. We must put aside the GOP label, as hard as that may be, and demonstrate the leadership our country needs by calling on the president to step down."
Finally, she called Trump's overall interaction with Putin "deeply disturbing" and questioned whether the American people Trump has sworn to defend can trust their president.
Whitman wrote:
"Trumps' repeated public dismissals of the intelligence coming from his own deputies is deeply disturbing. Along with his walk back of statements last week, and then walking back the walk backs, it's impossible to keep up, and his behavior warrants a fresh evaluation of whether the president can be trusted with the future of the United States. His apologists will argue that the current outcry is just another attempt by moderates and "establishment" Republicans to discredit the president. But what does this man have to say or do for his supporters to finally see that his actions are detrimental to the country?"
