'A national embarrassment': Chris Christie scorches Trump's legal team; "We cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn't happen"

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized President Donald Trump’s legal team Sunday morning, calling its continued legal challenges and allegations of widespread electoral fraud “a national embarrassment.”

On ABC’s “This Week,” Christie repeatedly chastised Trump’s lawyers for alleging fraud in interviews and press conferences despite their lawsuits pleading otherwise, and called for their legal challenges to end.

“The legal team has been a national embarrassment… They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud,” Christie said.

He also called out Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, criticizing her for accusing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp of committing a crime, only to be “unwilling to go on TV and defend and lay out the evidence that she supposedly has.”

“I voted for [Trump] twice,” Christie added, “but elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen. You have an obligation to present the evidence, [but] the evidence has not been presented.”

Trump’s legal team, led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has said without evidence that millions of votes in multiple swing states were switched from Trump to President-elect Joe Biden, and has falsely alleged that the amount of votes tallied in cities including Detroit and Philadelphia exceeded the number of registered voters living in them.

One of the lawsuits Giuliani led in Michigan used data that reflected towns in Minnesota.

Christie also pointed to conservative media figures who have criticized Trump’s legal team for their refusal to provide evidence.

“If you are unwilling to come forward and present the evidence, it must mean the evidence doesn’t exist,” Christie said, referring to Fox News’ Host Tucker Carlson’s recent criticism of Trump’s legal team along similar lines.

Wouldn’t it be more accurate, if the T shirt said “My Governor DID Eat Your Governor?”

What is a national embrassesment is how many people want to ignore this problem and pretend everything is alright to the point of challenging anyone who dare question the voting process. Something is rotten in Denmark.

Trump’s legal team has filed three cases so far, which did they lose?

“If you are unwilling to come forward and present the evidence, it must mean the evidence doesn’t exist,” Christie said

What a rookie mistake it would be to ‘present the evidence’ for trial in the media. They’re signaling desperation. There’s no way that Rudy and Sydney are going to tip their hand at this point. The democrats and their compatriots the republicans are desperately trying to figure out how to spin this. They have no idea what’s coming and they’re piddling on the floor.

This is not an issue to be litigated by the enemedia. This is an issue that will be litigated in the courts. The supreme court where Joe Bidens case will be adjudicated by one Justice Clarence Thomas. Trump’s not playing reindeer games here.

Karma’s coming...

This is about 2024 (and 2022).

What happens if Trump goes down without fighting? He loses hs base.

As long as he fights, even if this round doesn’t go our way, he lives to fight another day, with his base still energized going forward. You saw in 2018 what having an energized base meant. Now in 2022, the shoe will be on the other foot.

You’ve even got diehard leftists beginning to think that something stinks here. That’s the point, to plant seeds of doubt. Just as the Left did with “Russia, Russia, Russia”.

It’s about more than Trump, Mr.Christie.

Go do a buffet or another of your hobbies, Trump loses and we’re all screwed.

You aren’t special enough, so you’ll be sitting without any material belongings and the same rations as us pissants.

Not surprising from Chrissy...

We’ve known the RINO Chrissy since the day he had is kissy-kiss with Barack Hussein O. in NJ after Hurricane Sandy and right before the 2012 election...

Now, he’s just another anti-Trump windbag on ABC...no different from his Sunday partner, Stephy Stephanopoulos...

As one insignificant registered Republican I will never again vote for “the lesser of two evils” when it come to any race from Presidnt down to local township supervisor. Seudo Republicans like Toomey, Christie, Romney and their ilk will never get my vote. **## them all!

It is a national embarrassment that Republicans are so quick to concede and side with their enemies.

I wonder if it’s possible, some of them are our enemies too? Like that idiot Senator from Utah.

I would think the states stopping the counts and hearing the fraud witness descriptions of what was going on during that time supports President Trump. A national embarrassment is saying something on ABC This Week when you might not know what your talking about.

Powell “So, that’s when they had to stop the counting and come up with a way to backfill the votes or destroy votes for Trump while they fabricated votes for Biden”

He hasn’t looked for anything since he smooched Obama years ago. I wonder how much China has invested in NJ?

Christie sets the rules...

But Trump and his legal team can behave any way they damn well please until Jan 20th. Even after.

“...Chris Christie....he can’t be trusted.”

Remember when he closed the beaches to everyone except him?
