Trump hits Christie after calls for GOP to move past 2020 election claims – By Max Greenwood (The Hill) / Nov 8 2021
Former President Trump hammered former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Monday after Christie called on Republicans to move past Trump’s baseless claim that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.
Christie, a former Trump ally, made the remarks at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s conference in Las Vegas, during which he urged the GOP to present a “plan for tomorrow, not a grievance about yesterday.”
“Winning campaigns are always the campaigns that look forward, not backwards,” he said, warning that Republicans would pay a political price if they continue to dwell on the 2020 presidential election.
Christie’s comments drew the ire of Trump, who has continued to claim more than a year after losing his reelection bid that widespread voter fraud and malfeasance cost him a second term in the Oval Office.
