STEPHANOPOULOS: Will your support for Trump continue even if he's convicted?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Yeah. This has been going on for more than a year and his poll numbers never go down.

S: But you're going to politics. I'm asking about right and wrong.

CS: This is about politics.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But I'm asking whether you're going to be swayed by a conviction

SUNUNU: Nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor is supporting the Republican president

STEPHANOPOULOS: Please explain given the fact you believe Trump contributed to an insurrection how you can say we should have him back in the Oval Office

SUNUNU: For me, it's not about him as much as it is having a GOP administration

S: But he will be the president! That doesn't make any sense to me. You believe that a president who contributed to an insurrection should be president again?

SUNUNU: As does 51 percent of America, George

STEPHANOPOULOS: Just to sum up. You support Trump for president even if he's convicted in the classified documents case. You support him for president even though you believe he contributed to an insurrection. You support him for president even though you believe he's lying about the last election. You support him for president even if he's convicted in the Manhattan case. I just want to say, the answer to that is yes, correct?

SUNUNU: Yeah. Me and 51 percent of America.
