Governor Shapiro Criticizes Pro-Trump Republicans as ‘Pathetically Weak
Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor, Josh Shapiro, criticized Republicans who support Donald Trump, calling them “profoundly and pathetically weak people.” His comments followed a meeting Trump had with GOP members in Washington, D.C., aimed at rallying the party for the 2024 presidential race. Shapiro highlighted Trump’s persistent legal challenges against the election processes in Pennsylvania, where lawsuits were filed 42 times by Trump and his allies. Despite Trump’s narrow win there in 2016, Shapiro noted that Trump or his endorsed candidates have since consistently lost elections in Pennsylvania, ranging from governorship to local school boards.
Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro mocked Republicans this week who support former President Donald Trump, saying that they are “profoundly and pathetically weak people.”
Shapiro’s remarks came after Trump met with Republicans in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to unify the party ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“When Donald Trump sued us to try to first stop people from voting, then [have] their votes count, he and his allies sued us 42 times,” he said. “We had a free and fair, safe and secure election. Then look at the ballot box, while Donald Trump squeaked out a victory in 2016 in Pennsylvania by just over 40,000 votes, in every subsequent election, either Donald Trump or his hand-picked candidate lost. They lost for governor, they lost for United States Senate, hell, they even lost for school board in some cases. This is a guy who has lost every step of the way, yet these people keep following him.”
He continued by addressing the meeting that Trump had with lawmakers earlier in the day: “I had to laugh today when some of those senators were, like, standing up there applauding him — the same people that were saying after January 6th that he didn’t have a place there, that he had stoked violence against them.”
“Now they’re lining up and just showing themselves to be profoundly and pathetically weak people who don’t swear allegiance to a flag, but to Donald Trump,” he claimed, later adding: “They are people who have lost really just the sort of core vision of, you know, Reagan’s Republican Party, the Republican Party that you worked for in a really noble and honorable way.”

“That’s all out the window,” he claimed. “Now, they just look straight to that one man. A man who has delivered them loss after loss after loss here in Pennsylvania and across the country. Why they continue to follow him in many ways is a reflection on just the weak people that they are more than anything else.”
