'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.

My cousins in NJ hate Christie.

Compared to whom?

Which NJ Governor in the past 50 years would they prefer? I wouldn't suggest that Christie did everything I wish he would have done, but who was better? Corzine? Flim Flam? Murphy? Who?

ML/NJ

The President should have fired both Haspel and Wray.

DiogenesLamp: "It’s funny how you can see some modern similarities to 1861 but a corrupt big city cartel trying to control the power of Washington DC isn’t one of them."

Of course it is, FRiend, in both cases it was Democrats in charge of the corruption.
Now do you, finally, see the similarities?

I think that’s when the electoral college votes.

Or it’s some kind of deadline.

No, not just a NJ problem. But that area of the country has sent a disproportionate number of horrors to office, and it has been on the rise since the 1990s.

I never trusted Stay Puft from the get-go. He was anti-2A, pro-illegal and just a lot of sturm und drang with little substance underneath. His cuddles with Zero and the establishment solidified him as a genuine phony.

You are stuck on the label of "Democrat."

I don't care what they call themselves, they are race obsessed big city Liberals mostly from the North East, and they've controlled Washington DC since the 1840s.

Their philosophy of government is "bigger is better" and they have their fingers in every aspect of redistributing the money Washington DC harvests from the rest of us.

Also they make money from foreign interests by selling their influence in Washington DC. Biden is a prime example.

Christie seems to have committed political suicide on national TV.

Since I no longer watch ABC news programs, I missed seeing this.

Since George Floyd DID commit suicide, ABC has been ALL BLACK ALL THE TIME. NOT in the this household.

No, since they first took power in DC, in 1801 -- Democrats.
From the beginning Democrats were an alliance of globalist Southern planters with Northern big-city immigrants' political bosses.
Today the old planters are replaced by globalist Big Tech, and big-city immigrants include everyone on the Democrats' plantation.
Democrats were and are the power which rules our big cities, including Washington, DC.

How many times a week does Christie pretend that he didn’t snuggle up to Obama when he did?
