Maura Gillespie: ‘Having a Moral Compass Is More Important’ than Losing Your Job for Standing Up to Trump

‘There are very few people in the Trump Administration and Trump world who will say and stand up to him’

EXCERPT:

GILLESPIE: "There are very few people in the Trump Administration and Trump world who will say and stand up to him. And that‘s why you see the problems that we‘re seeing, right? He‘s surrounded by yes men. And because of that, there have been so many mistakes made because every idea that he has is given this, 'Oh, it‘s gold, it‘s great.' And instead, it‘s not thought out and pushed back on a little bit to nuance it and finance it to make it a better idea, because some of the ideas that come out are sound. But I do think that Murkowski is saying there what a lot of Republicans feel, and she‘s just giving it a voice as far as being worried about the repercussions. But again, if your job is on the line, okay, that‘s one thing, but I think that having a moral compass is more important."
