MORRISTOWN, NJ – Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is doing whatever he can to climb out of the 2024 Presidential Primary election basement. Polling at zero percent in a recent Fox News Poll, Christie has taken swings at former President Donald J. Trump as he tries to climb to see rays of sunlight in his floundering campaign.
Now, he’s attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, at this time, the most viable challenger to Trump.
DeSantis, after hearing of the former President’s indictment by New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg, said Florida would not assist in any possible extradition proceedings if warranted.
“I think it’s interesting that someone says they’re going to refuse to extradite someone who’s not asking,” Christie said this week. “I mean, Trump and his lawyers are negotiating a voluntary surrender, which is what they should do. It’s the responsible thing to do. And Ron DeSantis comes out and says, ‘I won’t extradite him.’ Well, who the hell asked you?”
Christie, recently mocked Trump’s indictment, one of the few Republicans on the national level cheering on Alvin Bragg’s charges.
“All this bravado from the Trump camp is bologna,” Christie said. “He’s going to be charged officially on Tuesday. He’s going to have to be mugshotted, fingerprinted and he’s going to face a criminal trial in Manhattan, and he’s not going to be able to avoid it.”
He then went back to DeSantis.
“The governor has no role, has no role in this, particularly when the defendant doesn’t want him to have a role in it, right?” Christie said. “So, like, the defendant’s not being asked to be defended, but he’s jumping to his defense because he knows it’s a no-cost position on the substance.”
