Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft melted down when pressed to justify his recent threat to boot President Joe Biden from his state’s primary ballot if the Supreme Court allows Donald Trump to be removed in other states.
Towards the end of a contentious Monday afternoon interview, CNN anchor Boris Sanchez began to lose patience with the Republican state official, repeatedly grilling Ashcroft to come up with a rational explanation for the move.
Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review Colorado’s decision to ban Trump from that state’s primary ballot because he engaged in “insurrection” based on his actions surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, Ashcroft took to social media on Friday to issue a warning.
