“A national shame,” that’s what Chris Christie calls it. the last tours of the legal team that Donald Trump assembled to undermine the electoral results through various legal processes but without evidence and thus retain presidential power.
– If you have evidence of voter fraud, present it, Christie said in an interview with ABC.
Former New Jersey governor and former presidential candidate Christie is one of the strongest Republicans to date who has stepped forward and distanced himself from the president’s attempt to challenge the legitimacy of the election. Most party representatives either agree with the hitherto unfounded allegations of election fraud or choose to remain completely vocal.
Christie’s dissociation refers, among other things, to pressure directed at Republican governors in some states to act against the election result and question Biden’s victory.
More are growing apart
– I have been one of the supporters of the president and I voted for him twice. But democratic elections have consequences and we cannot continue to behave as if something had happened when it did not. I am a staunch Republican and love my party, but the interest of the nation comes first, Christie said.
Over the weekend, several Republicans have broken with the pillar of the party, which remains silent or agrees with the president’s unfounded allegations of electoral fraud. Michigan’s Fred Upton says voters in his state “have spoken” in electing Joe Biden. The governors of Alaska and Maine have also voiced their dissent, according to CNN.
Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland, says in an interview that he is ashamed that there are not more Republicans speaking out against the “strange measures” of the White House.
“Similar to Banana Republic”
– Before it was the United States that monitored the elections of other countries, now we are the ones who began to look like a banana republic. Time to put an end to all the nonsense!
Trump responded to the criticism via Twitter, where he called Hogan a “RINO” (Republican in name only). A tweet to which Hogan responded with the following call to Trump:
“Stop playing golf and admit the loss.”
