During a CNN town hall on Monday night, former New Jersey Governor and current presidential candidate Chris Christie launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump, holding him responsible for the Republican Party’s underperformance in three consecutive elections.
While Christie’s own candidacy is viewed as a longshot and his poll numbers remain low, he has distinguished himself by openly criticizing Trump unlike other contenders. Expressing his astonishment, the former governor questioned why some candidates were avoiding any mention of Trump during their campaign trails.
“Say his name, man,” Christie exclaimed. “How do you beat someone if you won’t talk about them? How do you defeat them if you won’t differentiate yourself from them?… The only thing he understands is force. The only thing he understands is confronting him head-on and presenting your case. If these other candidates refuse to do so, then the American people and Republican primary voters need to grasp this reality.”
During the town hall, Christie also addressed recent complaints from Trump and other Republicans, who claimed that the Department of Justice had been “weaponized” following the former president’s federal indictment last week.
“When did we reach the point where we always blame our adversaries for the weaknesses of our own candidates?” Christie queried. “Oh, it’s the Democrats’ fault, it’s the DOJ’s fault, it’s this person’s fault, it’s the media’s fault.”
Putting the blame squarely on Trump, Christie continued his critique:
“How about accepting that it’s his fault? He hasn’t achieved anything since 2016. Three-time loser: in 2018, we lost the House; in 2020, we lost the White House; a few weeks later in 2021, we lost the United States Senate, and in 2022, we lost two more governorships, another Senate seat, and barely retained control of the House of Representatives when Joe Biden had one of the most inept first two years I’ve ever witnessed.”
“Loser, loser, loser. And now they claim it will be different this time? Why? What will change? These arguments must be presented, and I am not afraid to make them for two reasons. One, I am not afraid of him. And two, it is the truth.”

look who is talking as a prosecutor he went after mr kushner for only one reason because he was jewish LOSER LOSER LOSER
You know those same people who keep getting honored by organizations? Those are the ones Republicans serve. All others are best served by Democrats.
Christie is the real loser with a big mouth.
Don’t forget he was one of the ones to endorse Trump.
1 Trump lost with about 60k votes from 3 states where it was very narrow votes so maybe next time without covid which mad him problems he will make it by a landslide
2 TRUMP did won the 2020 election because the states did illegally allowed absentee ballets which wasn’t legal without a legislator vote which wasn’t able to return in court
3 the never trumpers nocked him down all the time saying don’t vote trump now when he lose he say look how he losses yay
such dumps
Incompetent and corrupt and a loser that is Trump He is your friend as long as it serves his own agenda. I wish others would be as honest and forthright as Christie.
Jesey shore Orca should have been reminded of his Bridgegate adventure, that should have landed him well deserved mug shot as well as jail time, before allowing him to open his bloody mouth!
While Trump is a “loser”, Christie can’t win by alienating Trump’s supporters, most of whom would skip voting rather than support someone who one the nomination by attacking Trump. To win, Christie (or any other Republican) needs to praise Trump and announce how he is best placed to protect Trump’s legacy and carry out his agenda (Trump’s agenda always was unclear, so that is not a problem).
LOSER! LOSER! LOSER!
