Huntsman’s longtime defenders urging him to quit before his own reputation becomes enmeshed with the president’s.



Trump’s Russia Ambassador Is Having A Very Bad Week
Jon Huntsman has spent decades cultivating a reputation as a pragmatic Republican. Now some of his allies are urging him to ditch the Trump administration.

on Huntsman, the U.S. ambassador to Russia, is in a terrible, but entirely predictable, situation: Days after Huntsman spoke about the need to hold Russian government officials accountable for interfering in the 2016 election, his boss, President Donald Trump, stood alongside Vladimir Putin on Monday and told the world he believed the Russian president’s denial of any wrongdoing.

Trump made a muddled attempt to walk back those comments on Tuesday, but the damage had been done. Huntsman’s former colleagues and even family members suggested the ambassador was wasting his time trying to represent U.S. interests in Russia under Trump.

“Resign, if you have any honor,” John Weaver, a political consultant who worked on Huntsman’s 2012 Republican presidential campaign, tweeted.

“You work for a pawn, not a president. It’s time to come home,” wrote a columnist at the Salt Lake Tribune — a paper owned and published by Huntsman’s brother Paul.

2. too late, huntsman will never wash it off

he remained silent

3. I was wondering about that. Remember when he was running as a centrist Republican?

Wasn’t his daughter involved in politics or media too? This could be his undoing. Welcome to the Trump Death Sphere, John.

Mass exodus from WH, State, Defense. Folks who are just done. They all need to march right up to Capital Hill to make their announcements.

5. I don't care about his political future,

however he might want to pack it in to protect his liberty. You're easy to grab , if trump pisses off his boss.

6. I agree

Before trump turns him over to putin to use to criminalize. Just like putin has trump trying to do to Hillary Clinton. This looks to me like this was part of the plan they made for doing this, and use their kangaroo courts they set up for themselves to use against anyone that opposes or threatens them with exposing them. Huntsman's a fool if he stays, unless he to is working for putin now too.

7. he mostly does ceremonial stuff in Russia

the below is an example of the things he does there.
