In one of the more viral moments from his speech, Christie admonished George Washington while praising the foreign policy of former President Woodrow Wilson, who has been regarded as one of the worst presidents in history mostly due to his insistence in involving America in World War I and his failure to negotiate a fair peace with Germany, which could have prevented World War II.

“In 1917, when Europe was at war and dictatorships were taking over the entire continent, and America had followed the admonition of George Washington since its founding to stay out of foreign entanglements, Woodrow Wilson said, ‘no, if America allows Europe to go under dictatorship, we will be next,'” explained Christie. “Franklin Roosevelt said the same thing 24 years later when Hitler and Mussolini and Hirohito decided that dictatorship is what was going to rule the world.”

At first look at the title I thought this was from Babylon Bee.

LOL. This is going to be fun.

Woodrow Wilson was extremely racist — even by the standards of his time

George Washington was correct to BEWARE of foreign entanglements. We should not have been a part of WWI.

Cristy Creme is high on sugar.

Had we listened to the founders especially THE GREATEST AMERICAN of ALL TIME, George Washington, we would be so much better off right now.

LOL. Does he think he can win? Is his campaign manager shining him on? What bloc does he attract by bashing Washington? Who does he win over praising Woodrow Wilson? He’s looking for the racist, fascist, warmonger soccer moms?

Wait, his grasp of history is astonishingly bad. The purpose of entering WWI was not to stop dictatorships, WWI caused dictatorships.

… (I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …

— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”
Wilson would not be concerned about any corner of the globe becoming subject to dictatorship. I cannot find Christie’s supposed quote anywhere; he seems to have made it up.

So, Krispy’s hero is Woodrow Wilson, who initiated the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

However, his crowning achievement was sending U.S. men to die in World War One, which was a strictly European conflict. Our decisive presence led to the Treaty of Versailles, and the punitive provisions which created the mad little corporal, Adolph Hitler.

Krispy should be Biden’s Secretary of State.

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.

Krikeys. Woodrow Wilson was probably our worst President. His damage is incalculable. He allowed the creation of the Federal Income tax, and the IRS. His actions led to the rise of the Soviet Union and the rise of Adolf Hitler. Had he insisted on following his campaign promises and kept the US out of WWI, and made it clear he was going to do so, the combatants would have settled a peace that wouldn’t have humiliated Germany and provided a springboard for Hitler.
Christie is apparently a war mongerer.

Chris Christie just threw George Washington under the bus to praise… Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat.

Christie would have to first dig up George Washington before he could throw him anywhere.

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.

Wilson also ordered segregation in the US military and urged everyone to see the film “Birth of a Nation”, which depicted the the heroic origins of that Democrat social institution, the Ku Klux Klan. Fabulous role model for another Jersey POS.

If Crispy is saying Trump is promoting us into smaller groups, he should be happy...anything that makes him smaller he should applaud.
