Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized the recent decision to kick former President Trump off the Maine primary ballot under the 14th Amendment.
“[I]t makes him a martyr,” Christie said on CNN Friday. “You know, he’s very good at playing ‘Poor me, poor me,’ he’s always complaining. The poor billionaire from New York who’s spending everybody else’s money to pay his legal fees.”
On Thursday, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) said she had concluded the former president “over the course of several months and culminating on January 6, 2021, used a false narrative of election fraud to inflame his supporters and direct them to the Capitol to prevent certification of the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power.” Bellows’ decision made Maine the second state to take such an action, after the Colorado Supreme Court last week via a 4-3 ruling.
Yep, the bar is basically ‘i don’t support a literal dictatorship’. Or even, ‘i probably would support one, but not with this clown’.
Given their both-sidering horse race nonsense, I’m not even convinced that they don’t support a literal dictatorship under donnie. I mean, the constant drumbeat of BidenSoOld and HunterBidenLaptop as a contrast to all the horribleness of both the con party/base and their beloved fascist leader donnie?
It’s almost designed to make the race at least close, if not put the favor on donnie’s side.
