Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie speaks out against Trump’s election lies

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recently spoke out about Donald Trump’s lies regarding the 2020 election results, calling them a “red line” for him. Christie, a former Trump ally, revealed that he has not spoken with the former President in nearly a year, citing Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud as the breaking point.

Here are some of the key points highlighting the lies that Donald Trump has been telling:

– Trump falsely claimed that the 2020 election was stolen without providing any evidence to support his claims.
– Christie, a former prosecutor, repeatedly asked Trump for evidence of election fraud but was met with baseless statements instead.
– Trump’s lies about the election results have been blamed for inciting the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
– Christie criticized Trump’s endorsement of Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, who was censured by the US House, as an example of “vendetta politics” that is harmful to the GOP and the country.

In conclusion, Donald Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy by undermining the integrity of the electoral process and inciting violence among his supporters.
