Chris Christie: GOP Has To Confront The Truth Of 2020 And Then Move On

[jparker]

Not buying what Christie is selling, not his book or his politics.

[kevinslater]

It's far too late now Chris. Your party is dead.

[lixzukq]

The words truth and GOP are not congruent.

[mariastellamelendez]

Frankly i think Chris Christy is dirty laundry. He began his career as an honest, courageous civil servent until he bit the apple of greed.

[tjrizzo]

Christy backed Donald’s big cry until he knew there was nothing that could be done to change the result.

[franciscomarmolejo]

Anything to sell books. Likes to forget the horrible things his party did in the past 4 years and Jan 6

[YZW]

Donnie has been crying for over a year now just like his supporting Karens. Stop the squeal!

[erichnussbaum]

The crime is not over until the perpetrators are charged, convicted and imprisoned. Not previously!

[kahnicacole]

Welcome back Mika! This is the Mika we used to know that would even battle Joe Scarborough back in the day. Girl, Yes!👏👏👏

[catherinerodriguez]

Note to Christie:. You win by listening to the constituents, not dark money and donors. Money must not dictate politics any more than ideological ideas. The wage gap and the policies that promote low wages, no healthcare, no affordable housing, big pharma and fossil fuel running elections. Christie is no better than Sniffy, he won't commit to any policy for real people with real issues, just the monied base if the GOP.

He might fool some of the people, but he doesn't fool the lot of us! Way to pin him Mika, but true to his character he slimed his way out. Him nor his book are going to save the Republican Party. Just the fact that he'd still endorse #45 cancels him out, he's no better than the rest of the right wing nuts!!

[Lisa-vkjw]

Nothing about the nut jobs in your party? Really, you got nothing Chris?

[recoveringcatholicbornagai]

President Trump said he would fix infrastructure and get us out of Afghanistan, but in 4 years he couldn’t get either done. President Biden has been in office less than a year and he has gotten us out of Afghanistan and signed an infrastructure bill. Talk vs. sayin 😉

[brendacawston]

He's evasive although at least Making attempts at sane behaviour but it's for his party's survival..the truth needs to be told in order to avoid it happening again. All of the truth esp concerns ng Trump . Mica called it out. Smart woman. I feel her frustration.

[scottprather]

A republican standing up for the truth!! wow he's really going out on a limb.

[Tony-dkbp]

When these guys cop out by saying "I agreed with his policies", why don't you press them on just which policies those are and ask about which they didn't agree with? Those are the answers people need to hear.

[cherilynnfisher]

I don't trust this guy as far as I can throw a piano! Neither should you!☮️

[rcinful]

Chris Christie has to confront the truth and step away from the buffet.

[katybassett]

Oh my goodness...what 'good policies' came out of trumps time in office???

[billsimons]

Okay so you fess up to trying to overthrow the government, now let's move on. WTF.
