MSNBC host stunned after key Donald Trump impeachment witness Gordon Sondland backs ex-president

MSNBC host Ari Melber was left stunned after Gordon Sondland, a former Trump administration official who testified against Donald Trump during his impeachment, said he would be backing the former president because of “how badly” the Biden-Harris team has run the country.

Sondland, a wealthy hotel magnate and Republican megadonor, served as Trump’s ambassador to the European Union and was a key witness for House Democrats during Trump’s 2019 House impeachment inquiry.

Sondland testified that there was a “quid pro quo” between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that secured military aid for Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings and the 2016 election.

Melber pulled up a clip of Sondland saying he was done supporting Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and asked him if he still felt the same way.

“No, I don’t stand by it and I’ll tell you why,” he said while sitting beside other former Trump administration officials Peter Navarro and Sarah Matthews.

First Tulsi Gabbard. Then Elon Musk. Then RFK Jr. Then Teamsters Union. Then Senator Joe Manchin. Then Democratic Michigan Muslim mayor Amer Ghalib. Then firefighters union (IAFF). Just yesterday 100, 000 people at Trump rally in Butler, PA. Now Gordon Sondland. Looks like the left and the Democrats are starting to notice the noose tightening around their necks. They’re not so smug and arrogant NOW, are they?

[toddcaylor]

Well dude, that should tell you just HOW BAD democrat government is. When you decide to back the guy you testified against because the alternative is wholly UNACCEPTABLE, that's friggin' BAD.

This country needs Trump.
We need common sense and American values.
