Chris Christie Condemns Republicans Still Lying About Election: 'It's Shameful'

Source: MSN/Newsweek

Chris Christie, the former GOP New Jersey governor, strongly criticized fellow Republicans who continue to baselessly claim that President Joe Biden won the election through widespread voter fraud.

Former President Donald Trump and his loyalist supporters have alleged, without evidence, that Biden and the Democrats "stole" and "rigged" the election. There is no basis to this extraordinary claim, and lawsuits attempting to overturn the election results filed by the former president and his supporters have failed dozens of times in state and federal courts.

Although Christie was a longtime ally to Trump, he has forcefully criticized the ex-president's claims about the election.

"This election was not stolen. All of the facts point in that direction," the Republican politician asserted during a segment of ABC News' This Week on Sunday.

... that Chris Christie supported Crooked Donald for so long. The disgraced ex-President's behavior was not a secret, especially to insiders like Christie. His support is truly shameful.

... it's to his future political advantage -- certainly not because he suddenly discovered a spine, a conscience, or a shred of integrity.

In that same 'This Week' appearance, Christie claimed the property damage caused by protesters in Portland, was the SAME as the violent insurrection at the Capitol resulting in six deaths, yet the Dems are not equally condemning.

Stunning.

because the money flow into his party is at a stand still. It's a mess and he has determined there is no provable evidence of election fraud and they should all dump Trump and support him. That's the way he looks at it !

I heard him on the day of the inauguration complaining about how t****'s Twitter
account was suspended. He sounds sane one moment and then he goes of on
some crazy arse talking point the next. I believe he is infected with whatever
virus that is going around that makes you insane.
