Christie Super PAC Debate Statement: Only One Candidate On That Stage Offered A Clear Vision For The Future
ARLINGTON, VA — Bill Palatucci, Chairman of Tell It Like It Is PAC, issued the following statement after the fourth Republican presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama:
“Republican voters had a clear choice tonight between three candidates auditioning to become Donald Trump’s running mate, and Chris Christie, who offered a bold and unequivocal break from the status quo. Chris Christie is the only one with the vision for the future, a record of conservative accomplishments and the willingness to speak truth about the state of the party. A nomination of Trump or someone in his mold ensures another four years of Joe Biden as president, and that is something America cannot afford.”
Below is a sampling of what others are saying about Chris Christie’s debate performance:
Geraldo Rivera: Governor Christie just took Ramaswamy to school over his wretched manners. Dude is really obnoxious…
Shawna Mizelle, CBS News: Chris Christie calls out Trump, saying the former president doesn't "have the guts to show up" on the debate stage. "He is unfit to be president," Christie says.
Blake Burman, NewsNation: Chris Christie notes it has been 17 minutes and the other three candidates haven't mentioned Donald Trump. @NewsNation
Marc Caputo: Chris Christie, acting as a sort of narrator-participant in the debate, chides DeSantis for giving a “hosanna” about his military service & not saying if he would use American military power to rescue U.S hostages in Gaza. Christie said he would
Ellen Carmichael: Christie has been great on Trump. It’s very necessary.
John Avlon, CNN: Christie having a very strong debate tonight out of the gate
Michael Duncan, Ruthless Podcast: Christie just owned Vivek lmao #GOPDebate
Seth Mandel: Christie made Vivek mad by murdering him
Scott Jennings: Chris Christie -- bravo #GOPDebate
Reagan Reese, Daily Caller: Christie really getting how he feels about DeSantis and Ramaswamy's previous debate performances off his chest tonight. The former NJ Gov says this would be the fourth debate in a row that Ramaswamy would be the "most obnoxious blow hard" in the first 20 minutes.
Heather Nauert: Rude. Obnoxious. Insulting. Inaccurate. He doesn’t know anything about the issues. Give @VivekGRamaswamy a reality show and let’s be done w it. Thanks, @GovChristie for calling it as it is.
Jacob Kornbluh, The Forward: This is Chris Christie’s best debate ever. That showdown with Vivek..
Robert Costa, CBS News: Christie: "I'm not done yet..." Tearing into Vivek Ramaswamy , calling him the "most obnoxious blowhard in America"
Grace Kazarian, CBS News: At the fourth GOP debate, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called Trump "a dictator." "He is unfit," Christie said of the former president.
Heath Mayo, Principles First: The exchange right now between Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis is highlighting PERFECTLY the difference between principled courage and cowardice. This is the debate the party needs. And Christie’s answer is the only correct one. He is doing the country a service right now.
Stephanie Murray, The Messenger: The "day one" dictator question goes to Chris Christie. "There's no mystery to what he wants to do," Christie says. "He started off his campaign by saying I am your retribution ... This is an angry bitter man." Christie notes his rivals said they'd support Trump if convicted
Ellen Carmichael: Christie is 100% right.
Alyssa Farah Griffin: Chris Christie showed up tonight. He clearly sees the window closing to stop Trump and isn’t holding back. Well done, @GovChristie.
David Drucker, The Dispatch: TUSCALOOSA, AL — "This is an angry bitter man." - Governor Christie, the only candidate who is comfortable speaking about TRUMP's ethical issues and questionable behavior, and does it with pure ease.
Adam Kinzinger: Tonight’s winner is Governor Christie walking away. Again the other three ignored that Trump even exists
Michael Steele, Former RNC Chairman: One can only take but so much: Governor Christie nails Vivek Ramaswamy "Let me tell you something, this is the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in America. So shut up for a little while."
Jeff Blehar, National Review: Christie is actually at his most effective when he soberly just calls out Trump like this. Doesn’t raise his voice. This is what makes him a skillful debater. His Trump segment was probably the best of his entire campaign.
Stephanie Murray, The Messenger: Chris Christie knocks Nikki Haley for saying Donald Trump was good on trade earlier tonight. "He wasn't," Christie says. "You can't say he was good on trade because he didn't change one Chinese policy in the process. He failed on it."
