Three Republican challengers to President Trump criticized several states for canceling their presidential primaries and caucuses in a joint Washington Post op-ed published late Thursday.

Former U.S. Reps. Joe Walsh of Illinois and Mark Sanford of South Carolina and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld criticized Republican parties in Arizona, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina for scrapping their nominating contests.

They wrote the Republican Party was making a mistake before attacking Trump as a self-promoter, blasting his foreign policy and his attacks on the press.

“Cowards run from fights,” they added. “Warriors stand and fight for what they believe. The United States respects warriors. Only the weak fear competition.”

Trump has denied playing a part in the decision by GOP officials. He has called the three challengers a “laughingstock” who are seeking publicity.
