Christie has been a fierce opponent and critic of Donald Trump, despite endorsing him wholeheartedly in 2016, since the Russia collusion investigation, a criticism that only accelerated following the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill. In his announcement on Tuesday, the former New Jersey governor repeated his dislike for the former president, charging that he helped make America smaller by playing off people’s divisions.
“We have leaders who have led us to being small. Small by their example. Small by the way they conduct themselves. Small by the things they tell us we should care about. Smaller and smaller,” he said.
“And they do it in other ways too. They’re making us smaller by dividing us into smaller and smaller groups. And they sell to you that we should get into these smaller groups because we’ll be more comfortable,” he continued. “The smaller and smaller group you get into, then you’re probably not going to hear anything you disagree with. The smaller group you get into, you just watch the news you want to hear. The smaller group you get into, the less chances you’ll ever be offended by anything.”
Christie charged that both Republicans and Democrats were guilty of this divisive exploitation. On the left, he criticized Joe Biden and President Barack Obama, for promising to bring Americans together but doing the exact opposite. On the right, he criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly continuing their divisions. Later, Christie more specifically attacked Donald Trump.

I can say one good thing about Woodhead Wilson ... he didn’t have an eating disorder.
Christie has already walked smack dab into one Rake:
Why use your Presidential Run press conference to criticize the Father of our Country? Who’s talking about Woodrow Wilson, other than Chris? Two unforced errors so far, and this Horse has barely left the gate.
Trump or DeSantis are going to use that in one of their rally speeches, presuming that Chris still has political legs enough to last till the rallies.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Holy moly! Woodhead should have been shot for saying that.
I’m all for digging him up now and shooting him for it.
Wilson was more of a paternalistic racist.
I’m not. I remember it was Lincoln that signed the law, and the tax was what expired in 1872. The Supreme Court went back and forth on income tax. But the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified in February 2013, abd Wilson wasn’t sworn in until March 4th, 2013, so, as much as we want, we can’t really blame that on him, including the expansion of the IRS, can we?
Germamy was no more a dictatorship in 1914 than France. Aistria with its famously feared secret police was on a par with the Allies’ Russia.
True. I think he got his World Wars mixed up. But hey, leave him alone. He’s on a roll.
Your thinking is diabolical lol
Let’s not forget Chris Wray is in charge of the zFBI thanks to the Obama butt boy.
Aside from the dubious “ratification” of the amendment in question, Wilson did campaign on “tariff reform”, that being the primary method of funding the federal government until the amendment’s advent (enforcement). And the amendment removed apportionment with respect to income tax and established its permanency.
Wilson signed the Revenue Act of 1913, which permanently established the income tax.
I don’t want to take blame away from prior “progressives” such as Taft, mind you; he bears a large part.
Christie probably jumped in the race to ensure Trump is nominated.

Trump will have multiple stalking horses in the 2024 field....it’s a done deal.
Trump defeating that kid from Florida, will be like taking candy from a baby.
The emotion driven ideologues on Free Republic don’t know squat about their own country or the history of their country.
If the Establishment of the United States wants Trump vs Biden in 2024, that will be the choice.
If they want Biden to win, they’ll rig it for Biden.
If they want Trump to win, they’ll rig it for Trump.
My position is it’ll be rigged against Biden/Harris because Biden belongs in a nursing home getting care and Harris is a stupid person.
Trump is neither of those things. He isn’t stupid like Harris or nursing home material like Biden.
Christie’s entry into the race is not significant enough to effect Trump one way or the other. If it helps Trump, what are we talking about here? A 1 or 2 percent boost? Certainly not enough to make a deal over.
Christie would have to first dig up George Washington before he could throw him anywhere.
Wilson loooooved the klan.....
It’s a money grab.
Porky knows he’s not a viable candidate.
This is just an attempt to grab some big bucks in the form of campaign donations.
Wait, his grasp of history is astonishingly bad. The purpose of entering WWI was not to stop dictatorships, WWI caused dictatorships.

Dude’s from Jersey, what do you expect?
