Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was booed while walking on stage at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit event on Saturday.
“Now look, every one of those boos, everyone one of those cat calls, everyone one of those yells will not … solve one problem we face in this country,” Christie said. “Your anger against the truth is reprehensible.”
Between jeers, the former New Jersey governor tried to tell the crowd of Trump supporters that their energy is better spent elsewhere.
As of about a year ago he still wouldn’t say “No” regarding whether Trump would get his vote if nominated, when directly asked.
He also helped put Trump in power.
So, yeah.
I don’t think whataboutism is required to argue with someone having a hard time disliking Christie, unless you define whataboutism in some interesting and unusual way.
At best he’s realized they need to try stuffing the monster back in the box, after he helped bust it open.
