Fox News' longtime chief political analyst Brit Hume put Donald Trump's daughter-in-law and Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump on blast when she attacked one of her own party's candidates for not being loyal enough to Trump, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“It’s political malpractice,” Hume said on Monday after Lara slammed Larry Hogan, the Republican former governor of Maryland who is now running for a seat in the Senate, for his response to the Stormy Daniels hush money trial verdict.
"Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process," Hogan tweeted when Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a New York jury.
"At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship," he added. 'We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law."
"Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process," Hogan tweeted when Trump was found guilty.
Lara Trump responded in an appearance on CNN, saying that Hogan "doesn't deserve the respect of anyone in the Republican party at this point, and quite frankly anybody in America if that's the way you feel."
"We of course want to win as a party but that is a shame and I think he should have thought long and hard before he said that publicly," she continued, calling Hogan's statement "ridiculous" and claiming that the trial "would never have been brought against any other person aside from Donald Trump."

Hume questioned the wisdom of Lara Trump's words, noting that "Maryland is a very blue state. And Larry Hogan, who remained popular as a Republican governor and remains that way to this day, is giving the Republican party the best chance it's had in a long time to elect a Republican to the Senate."
"The Lara Trumps of the world ought to be saying, 'Please Mr. Hogan, please Governor Hogan, you do whatever you have to do to get elected, and some of the things you say and you believe in don’t agree with what I think, that’s OK, do what you have to do,"' Hume added. "That’s how politics is played by smart people,"
Hume warned that Donald Trump "gummed up the works" by attacking Republican officials during a tight senate race in Georgia — and that history could repeat itself.

Hume warned that Donald Trump "gummed up the works" by attacking Republican officials during a tight senate race in Georgia — and that history could repeat itself if Republicans like Lara Trump continue to turn on their own party.
"It cost the Republicans control of the Senate,” he explained. “That’s what could happen with this kind of stupid stuff.”
