Chris Christie Warns Second Trump Term Would Be 'National Security Risk'
2024-02-12
“Pay attention to MEEEEEEE!!!!”
[Red State] Chris Christie continues to step up his attacks against his former political ally Donald Trump.

The former New Jersey governor, who suspended his own 2024 presidential campaign in January, appeared on NBC's 'Meet The Press' on Sunday to discuss Trump's latest comments about Vladimir Putin.

Speaking at a rally this week, Trump said he would allow Russia to attack an allied country if they had refused to pay their fair share of military spending:

One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said you didn’t pay, you’re delinquent? He said yes. Say that happened, no, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay. You have to pay your bills.

Asked by host Kristen Welker what he thought of these comments, Christie described the comments as "absolutely inappropriate" for a man seeking the Oval Office:

This is why I’ve been saying for a long time that he’s unfit to be president of the United States. It’s one thing, and think it’s right for a president to say to a NATO member, hey, you have to pay the dues you need to pay. I think the American people would expect that of a president, but the problem with Donald Trump is he can’t just stop there. He’s got to say I would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they wanted to you. That is absolutely inappropriate for a president of the United States or a candidate for president of the United States to be saying, but it is consistent with his love for dictators.
