Not a fan of this guy but it’s nice to hear and see a Republican finally speaking the truth. It’s an extremely rare thing to witness.

[JSkyGemini]

You had to love Joe Biden at that debate. "Just shut up, man!"👏👏👍

[JR-prjb]

It's possible "Make America Florida" is not a winning slogan for little Ronny.

[inmarvillatoro]

Why can’t the other candidates afraid of giving it to Trump?
No spine
Chris has zero chance but he is speaking out!

[grandrapladyakaamb]

It's about time a Republican entered the race that's not anti-America! Good luck Mr. Christie, and keep telling the truth to the real Conservative base.

[LisaLGruman]

Bless Chris Christie. Any effort is brave, important and worth it!!!

[dumpd]

Chris said all that and voted for Trump twice and supported him faithfully.

[edbudzynski]

At least he is telling the truth now. Better now than never. I’ve never been a Democrat or Republican but many of us are tired of the Trump politics. We are sick and tired of that orange wash out from Florida.

[marktaylor]

Its about time someone said it and I’m glad Chris has!

[lukeoliver]

Christie’s not good for much but skewering horrendous candidates in debates is a rare exception. Everyone else will smile and say nice things about Trump, so this will be a breath of fresh air!

[caperbye]

Love to see Liz run for office. Trump is scare of her as well. She'll call him out as well.

[kandiskennedy]

Christy is spot on about ‘the little donnie’ … sic ‘em, boy!

[baddapplesauce]

Christie can say to voters, "Just like you, I was duped. I thought Trump was a different man than who he really is. It took me being up close and personal to fully understand that he's just a con man. Fortunately he is finally facing accountability." Some of MAGA will believe him.

[simpleman]

I agree with Chris on this one 1, 000%

[eternalskeptic]

He invited
He incited
They rioted
Then he denied it
Even though he'd implied it
Now he must be indicted.

[JamesGower-chzj]

Doesn't matter what happened before this is the truth.

[bertpollock]

Christie is coming out with guns a blazin!!! I believe this guy will put Trump in his place. Someone needs to whoever it is

[rodrigoca]

And yet he supported him loyally at every turn

[angelikabehrend]

I'm glad, somebody is speaking forcefully now. Good to hear!

[donnewton]

Trump gave him Covid. He could have died, bigly...
