Idiot, Chris Christie, AGAIN!
Posted on 11/07/2020 12:23:33 PM PST by conservative98
President Trump pal and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Saturday urged his friend to accept the election results and “move on” if his legal challenges don’t produce any evidence of voter fraud after learning Joe Biden had clinched the presidency.
“The votes need to be counted and the president has a right to pursue the legal options that wants to pursue, and he’s going to pursue those,” Christie told ABC News.
“I would hope that if he pursues those legal options and that they turned out not to bear fruit, and I said, I haven’t seen any evidence yet at all that they should, that he would do that, that he would make a speech that, you know, would … try to be one to help people to understand that the election is over — and that we need to move on.”
Trump on Saturday refused to concede the election, insisting it is “far from over.”

Bush versus Gore in 2000: The five weeks of high drama that give President Trump precedent
PARIS: Donald Trump said Wednesday he will go to the Supreme Court to dispute the US election count.
If he does, it could turn out to be only the second time in history that the court has decided the winner. In 2000, George W. Bush only beat Democrat Al Gore after five weeks of legal battles over recounts and “hanging chad” votes.
All eyes on Florida
On election day, Nov 7, 2000, polls have Republican candidate Bush, governor of Texas, leading Democratic vice president Gore by a whisker.
As the night develops, tensions rise as several states report very tight results.
Television networks declare Gore the winner in Florida only to backtrack soon after, judging it too close to call.
A few hours later they call Florida again, giving the victory to Bush, which means he wins the presidency.
Gore calls Bush to concede.
But then the networks backtrack a second time, and Gore calls Bush again to withdraw his concession.
The Florida results are in limbo. The two candidates are separated by less than 0.5 percent of votes, forcing a machine recount of all the punch-card ballots.
Several irregularities are exposed in the state, which is governed by Bush’s brother Jeb.
Hanging chads
On Nov 9, Gore calls for a manual recount in four strongly Democratic counties, including Palm Beach. Bush appeals, but it is dismissed by a federal judge.
The legal battle begins in earnest. Lawyers arrive en masse in Florida.
In the spotlight: the punch machines used in Palm Beach County to perforate the ballot paper. They show a rate of error too high for such a close vote.
Counting machines rejected thousands of ballots often due to machine malfunction or because voters failed to fully puncture the mark next to their chosen candidate, leaving only a “pregnant chad”, or partially perforated it, leaving a “hanging chad”.
Bush’s advisers slam irregularities in the counting, claiming the Democrats are trying to invalidate 25,000 postal votes from two Republican counties over a technicality.
On Nov 26, Florida declares Bush the winner, with 537 more votes. Gore contests the result, arguing thousands of votes have not been counted.
On Dec 8, Florida’s Supreme Court agrees with Gore and orders a manual recount of 45,000 ballots that were rejected by the machines.
Supreme Court decides
On Dec 12, the US Supreme Court steps in for the first time ever in a presidential election.
In a landmark judgement it rejects Florida’s recount and in doing so effectively shuts the door on Gore’s quest for the presidency.
“Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner... the identity of the loser is perfectly clear,” writes Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens in a dissenting opinion.
“It is the nation’s confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.”
On Dec 18, Bush is elected the 43rd US president by the electoral college, with 271 of the 270 required votes, although Gore won the popular vote.
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson says the election was “stolen”.
1. To Rubio, Christie, and others ... where were you when courts in PA and other states were unconstitutionally changing the state election laws in violation of Art. II of the federal constitution?— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 4, 2020
Repost dozens of times today .
This amazes me. There’s significant evidence being gathered and prepared for filing. Has Christie talked to a single one of the lawyers on the ground? I have. The media talk to this idiot Christie because they know he’s good for a negative clip against Trump. https://t.co/t0LUM2PTvw— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 6, 2020
If you cannot win clean you didn’t win Joe ....see you in court.
Chubsy Ubbsy can’t lose weight even with a stapled stomach
Chris Christie doesn’t realize, or doesn’t care, that he is a “useful idiot” in discussions such as these.
All this does is give ammunition to the liberals, to say, look, a prominent Republican thinks that Trump should concede, etc. and that it’s not a partisan issue, the election is over, etc. You know that’s how it will be spun to see Republicans telling Trump to concede.
From what I’ve seen already, the fraud has been proven.
Christie needs to waddle on — and STFU.
I urge you to go jump off a bridge, fat man.
What is wrong with Chris Christie? Sad to see him taking repeated shots at Trump in recent weeks and undermining the Republican party and the country. For the guy who likes to close roads and bridges against political targets, I guess he’s equally okay with Democrat corruption to steal the election from Trump.
Well, he can prove fraud, just as well as he can prove that he made the right decision rejecting Christie as part of his team.
Rudy g. Wil never turning tge president
Unlike the “mountain of evidence” proving Russia collusion.
Doubtful this was posted dozens of times as the article was only posted less than an hour ago. There is only 1 article today with Christie in the title and its not this one.

Really don’t need Chris Christie to be publicly advising on what to do before the fight over the election theft efforts are pursued.
Poor taste.
