Chris Christie Called Out Over His Part in Putting Trump in Power: ‘You Have to Own Up’
The two political analysts discussed Trump’s still strong influence over the GOP even after losing last year’s election. Christie said that by tying themselves to Trump and his continued false claims that the election was stolen from him, Republicans are endangering their long-term viabiilty as a political party.“I’m on a course to make sure my party remains relevant in the political conversation in this country,” said Christie, who has become one of Trump’s loudest Republican critics as an analyst on ABC’s “This Week.”But Martin took exception to this, saying that Republicans have already committed themselves to Trumpism and that Christie cannot completely distance himself from Trump’s rise to power within the party.
