Former President Donald Trump knows who he wants to be the next governor of Massachusetts: former state Representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman).
The pro-Trump Republican, who endorsed Trump before Super Tuesday in the 2016 primary, got an endorsement from the 45th president on Wednesday evening.
Trump sent the endorsement to many of his supporters in an email from the Save America PAC.
Here is what Trump wrote:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Geoff Diehl of Massachusetts looks very much forward to his run against “RINO” Governor Charlie Baker, who has done nothing for the Republican Party and has driven Massachusetts energy costs into, by far, the highest in the Nation — monthly electric bills, and all else, are not even close to being where they should be. Baker is bad on crime, disrespects our police, does nothing for our Veterans, has totally botched the Vaccination rollout, presided over the collapse of the MBTA, and has seen crime go to record levels. His “green climate” views are fresh out of the AOC playbook. He has totally abandoned the principles of the Republican Party, never cutting taxes and undermining our agenda. Baker is definitely not an American First or Make America Great Again kind of guy. Geoff Diehl, on the other hand, is a true patriot, a believer in low energy costs and our independent energy policy (which was just obliterated by the Biden Administration with energy costs soaring!). Geoff is strong on Crime, Election Integrity, our now under siege Southern Border, loves our Military, and has a big focus on taking care of our Vets. Geoff Diehl will be an outstanding Governor for the state of Massachusetts, and it is my honor to give him my Complete and Total Endorsement!
The Diehl campaign sent NewBostonPost a statement on the endorsement shortly after it was sent out.
Diehl is happy to have the endorsement.
“I was inspired by the President’s ‘America First’ agenda, which he ran on in 2016, and he backed it up by delivering on his promises during his time in the White House,” Diehl said. “President Trump brought us record low unemployment, energy independence, a withdrawal of our military from endless war zones, plus a renewed focus on our country’s strengths and the hard-working people who make it the greatest nation in the world.”
“Massachusetts has its own unique resources and challenges and I plan to follow his lead, dedicating my time as Governor to building on what matters to the people who make up this diverse and productive Commonwealth,” Diehl added. “Like President Trump, I want to ensure a strong economy fed by the success of small businesses. I want families to feel safe in their communities, knowing that law enforcement is being supported with the tools and training they need. And, like the President, I want people to feel like government isn’t working against them and that they can enjoy the individual freedoms our state and country were founded upon.”
The endorsement came a day after Diehl stated that the results of the 2020 presidential election were rigged, a claim that Trump has repeatedly made.
New to NewBostonPost? Conservative media is hard to find in Massachusetts. But you’ve found it. Now dip your toe in the water for two bucks — $2 for two months. And join the real revolution.
