Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie slammed former Ohio governor John Kasich on Monday for his endorsement of Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention, calling him a “backstabber” and an “untruthful guy.”
A group of Republicans — which included Kasich, former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, and former Representative Susan Molinari (N.Y.) — spoke at the DNC on Monday night in support of Biden. When asked on ABC News “how big a threat” Republican endorsements would be to President Donald Trump, Christie, a Republican, said “Zero. Zero. They’re absolutely meaningless,” before zeroing in on Kasich, who was one of his opponents in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
“Just to show you where John Kasich’s standing is in the Republican Party: When he was the only Republican governor left on the stage in 2016 — Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich, [were] the three candidates left — do you know how many Republicans governors, of his colleagues, his sitting colleagues, endorsed John Kasich? Zero,” Christie said.
“And the reason they didn’t endorse him is because he’s a backstabber, and he’s an untruthful guy. And so, tonight, Republicans are going to look at that and go, ‘you can have him. Please, believe me, give us a break, get him out of our party, you take him for a little while, because on top of that, I’ve worked with John a lot. He’s exhausting.”

‘Backstabber’: Chris Christie Dismisses Kasich’s Biden Endorsement as Meaningless
______________________________________________________
Even if Christie has been a RINO from time to time, it’s nice to see him flame Kasich.
The Postmaster’s son who told us now bad Trump was in 2016 is now telling us how bad Trump is.
Maybe it’s me but I see DJT being helped when the likes of Kasich, and the two goofy Whitman’s (Meg & Christine Todd) wave Biden’s banner.
Kasich’s father was a mailman.
But his son’s a jagoff.
they wouldn’t let kasich do his speech live, because they do not trust a rino... nor should we.
Kasich is simply plotting a course that will benefit Kasich. There is nothing else he cares about, just Kasich.
Rush Limbaugh just reinforced that premise. Kasich still talks of crossing over to work together but, as Rush points out, the Democrats have no intention to 'work together'; IMO they are Marxists thus it is their way or the highway ... literally 'the highway'!

Kasich will have no impact except for make voters realize why they should vote for Trump. In fact, Kasich and is irrelevant and his speech drew no attention.
Bravo Zulu Gov Christie!! Much needed and well said!
Democrats oppose these things (directly or indirectly). Trump will get you a shot at some of them, Biden will get you a shot at none of them. I mean, John, what in hell do you stand for?
At the bottom of the article Christie really roasted him good. I’m glad.
Meanwhile Susan molinari broke my heart. That fake and her fake father should burn in hell.
When a politician is local you don’t really get a very clear picture of what they stand for overall. She stood for nothing
...spit...
Staten island is Trump territory. She’s not welcome
“...I’ve worked with John a lot. He’s exhausting.”
He’s nauseating too.
Every Republican who admires Kasich is now going to vote Democrat, as is every undecided Democrat who admires him. That's a net pickup of about three votes nationwide.
Their best stars of the evening are all Rejections.
Worse then the son of a postman bit his constant preaching is terrible.
I just further exposes how useless these pre-Trump Repukes really are.
Kasich thinks that Trump losing will result in his kind running the party again.
That ship has sailed.
