"The conduct of the president’s legal team has been a national embarrassment,” Christie added, noting that Trump’s lawyers have made a flurry of fraud allegations but have offered no evidence to back them up in court.
Christie criticized Trump’s lawyers for proffering false conspiracy theories at news conferences and other media appearances.
“They don’t do it in the courtroom,” the 2016 Republican presidential candidate said, suggesting the attorneys are fearful of making baseless arguments under oath before federal judges.
“It must mean the evidence doesn’t exist,” Christie said.
Christie said the Republican Party should focus on trying to win Georgia’s two runoff elections Jan. 5 to secure the Senate majority, rather than continuing with its unsuccessful legal challenges of the presidential election results.
Amazing how the bare minimum of common sense and reasoning skills, when displayed by a Republican, seems notable. Impressive, even. How low standards sink!
But surely Christie knows Trumpian strategies are not about the good of the GOP. The purpose is really simple: repeat nonsense until a significant fraction of the population start to think "there must be something to it" and doubt the legitimacy of the Biden administration, thus weakening it and paving the way for retaking the White House in 2024. Christie surely knows that neither the GOP nor national embarrassment register to Trump's seamless and total egomania.
