Former Gov. Chris Christie, a 2024 Republican presidential nominee, stated on “Face the Nation” that voting for Donald Trump would not lead to a return to “decency and civility.”
He expressed concern about Trump’s approach, citing his disregard for democracy and the Constitution, and highlighted his own commitment to speaking out against such behavior.
Christie emphasized his refusal to support a candidate convicted of a felony and questioned why anyone seeking decency and civility would vote for Trump. (Trending: Tucker Reveals The Moment He Became A Full-Blown Trump Supporter)
“So, also, giving a fairly straight assessment is Liz Cheney, the former Congresswoman who just did an interview with my colleague, John Dickerson, and told him, ‘the United States is sleepwalking into a dictatorship.’ Bob Kagan, writer in the New York- in the Washington Post had an op ed saying, ‘after Super Tuesday in March, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and what happens there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic in his favor,’ saying all Republican critics, perhaps even yourself will fall silent out of self preservation,” said CBS’ Margaret Brennan.
“Is that how you see your party behaving after March?” the analyst asked Christie.
“Look, I can’t speak for everyone in my party, I can only speak for myself, Margaret,” began Christie.
“And anybody who knows me knows I will not be silent. I haven’t been silent since the day I got into this race. And in fact, unlike others, you know, Nikki Haley says he was the right president for the right time and that for some reason, you know, drama and chaos seem to follow him,” he continued.
“The reason is that he acts like someone who doesn’t care about our democracy acts like someone who wants to be a dictator. He acts like someone who doesn’t care for the Constitution,” alleged the former prosecutor.
“In fact, he’s even said himself he’d be willing to suspend the Constitution if an election wasn’t going in his direction,” claimed Christie.
“Margaret, I was the only one on that stage going back to August, when I- when we were asked would you support someone who, you know, was convicted of a felony for President of the United States? Christie asked.
“Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, they all raised their hands,” recalled Christie.
Concluding, “I did not and I think I’ve made it very very clear how I feel about this and if folks want to return to some decency and civility why would you ever vote for Donald Trump?
