David French, who mounted a third party presidential campaign for several days last week, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe variety show this morning for some reason, and said the Trump campaign tried to menace his wife and spook him out of running.
According to French, a member of his wife’s family was contacted by someone who identified himself as a member of the Trump campaign, who relayed a message to “make sure that David knows [running against Trump] will be really, really bad for him.” French added that he was used to abuse from Trump supporters as a writer for the National Review, explaining that he’s been a target for Donald’s core demo of Bad White People because of his interracial family. And now, we say goodbye to David French.

Did Team Trump Threaten David French's Wife? | RedState
The prospect of a French candidacy did get the attention of serious conservatives, who were quick to offer their support. “I know David French to be an honorable, intelligent and patriotic person,” Romney wrote on Twitter. “I look forward to hearing what he has to say.” Sasse told National Review last week, “David French is a serious, trustworthy man who has served his country with honor. I’m interested to hear what he says in the coming weeks.”
It was enough, apparently, to spook the Trump campaign. Sources say that on Wednesday, influential supporters of the campaign, prompted by the campaign itself, began reaching out to the Republican National Committee, to Kristol, and to French attempting to quash the bid. One Trump operative reached French’s wife’s family in Tennessee and told them, according to French, that he was “instructed to call and deliver a message that the race would be very difficult for me.”
“It was a pretty big assault that really put pressure on David that this not happen,” says a source familiar with the communications.
