Former RNC chair slams Trump over his comments on Ukraine, says his supporters 'dance with the devil'

Racicot, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, slammed Donald Trump for his comments on the invasion of Ukraine.

In an op-ed run by several publications this week, Racicot, who chaired the RNC from 2002 to 2003 made a case for why he thought Trump was not qualified to be president.

Racicot wrote that the former president's recent remarks about Ukraine would have been briefly noted, but not thoroughly examined.

His recent comments before and after the Russian invasion were filled with reckless proposition, cruelty, and improprieties which continue to poison and undermine the political life and social fabric of the nation.

Racicot took aim at Trump for his praise of Putin.

The actions of the Russian president have been universally condemned. Not by Donald Trump. The former president described the Russian president as smart, savvy, and a genius.

Racicot criticized Trump for suggesting that the US put Chinese flags on its fighter jets.

In addition to revealing a complete lack of maturity and morality, such comments also expose an appalling lack of compassion for the death and destruction of the lives, culture, and country of the people of Ukraine. They remind us how important the character and stability of one person is.

Racicot ended his piece with a warning to those who support Trump, or continue to excuse his behavior, to secure his favor.

If you dance with the devil, you don't know if you will change the devil or not.

Trump has continued to make claims about the Ukraine crisis despite being criticized by various parties.

He made false claims about NATO in a statement on Wednesday while the Ukrainian president was in Congress. During a rally in South Carolina on Saturday, Trump claimed that his personality kept the US out of war and that Russia would not have dared to annex Ukrainian territory if he were in charge.
