Lol @GovChristie simply were given schooled on @ABC for looking to create an equivalency between the talk with Bush/Gore in 2000 and Giant Lie/Jan. 6. Anchor simply close him down 😂

There can not in all probability be any similarities between the 2000 Bush v. Gore’s election, which got here all the way down to 543 votes in Florida, and the 2020 election, which got here all the way down to smartly over 1,000 votes in each and every unmarried state that Trump contested and – extra importantly, how every dropping candidate handled the outcome. Certainly, Trump’s phrases relating to Georgia proceed to ring in a single’s ears: “I handiest want 11,000 votes, fellas. I would like 11,000 votes. Give me a smash.” However Chris Christie didn’t want numbers to make a false equivalency. No, Christie in reality equated the elections in a much more offensive method, American religion of their legitimacy.
In some way, in spite of his sordid previous and prior paintings for Trump himself, Christie was once on ABC Information’s protection of the Committee’s hearings. Whilst the panel mentioned the wear Trump’s lies led to with admire to election integrity, Christie described it as a part of an general better development in that individuals didn’t settle for the result of the 2000 election and the 2016 Hillary Clinton as opposed to Donald Trump election.
Video of Christie:
Clearly, Christie was once to this point out of bounds and, frankly – offensive that it’s shocking that David Muir didn’t make his rebuke harsher. Al Gore merely fought his case in court docket, and when the general court docket spoke, Gore conceded, and the rustic stated that Bush received the election with out regard to being unsatisfied about the way it took place. There was once no query as to the constitutional legitimacy of Bush’s election. In the meantime, Hillary Clinton conceded at the night time of the election. And, even though Democrats have been indignant upon listening to about Russian help (and conceivable collusion), no Democrat believed that by some means proving collusion would make Hillary Clinton president. It’s an absurd equivalency.
The comparability was once sufficient to set Twitter afire as “Chris Christie” controlled to development at the next price than any of the compelling testimony that took place inside the listening to itself.
Chris Christie looking to equate Gore and Hillary, who each publicly conceded, to Trump, who *nonetheless* hasn’t conceded is obnoxious.

Whats up @ABC I truly don’t care to listen to the research of Trumper Chris Christie. He’s comprised and complicit. His credibility is null and voided. Permitting him to utter one phrase is so needless and no longer warranted. #January6thCommitteeHearings
