Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who recently became a member of the board of directors of the New York Mets, on Sunday took aim at President Biden by accusing the President of “lying” to the public about the restrictive provisions in the new Georgia voting law, following the Major League Baseball’s decision to relocate its All-Star Game out of Atlanta.
Failed former governor and presidential candidate says what???
“Politics need not be a raging fire that destroys everything in its path,” Christie said. “Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war, and we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated or made up.”
Entered into the record without comment…
Except it’s not a lie and Joe Biden saying a thing Black people already knew doesn’t somehow magically cause racial division, but believing that Biden speaking out about racism will cause further division is in itself pretty freakin’ racist. This notion that Black people don’t know how we feel about something until someone tells us what to feel is incredibly racist.

Well, that’s certainly throwing down the gauntlet. Only one way to know where the facts lie and that’s by reading the bill, something the media is now forced to do. And what do you know…the Republican lied again.
By the way, if Christie is so strongly opposed to the actions of MLB, he’s always welcome to resign his board seat with the Mets.
Why does Christie remind me of a big fat disgusting pig?
Oh, I get it. Because he is.
Answered my own question.
In the middle of a pandemic, Major League Baseball put the wishes of Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden ahead of the economic well-being of hard-working Georgians who were counting on the All-Star Game for a paycheck.
From the party that unanimously voted against the American Rescue Act.
The trend here is since Republicans can’t defend the bill, they’re attacking the people speaking out against it (Biden, Abrams, MLB, various corporations). Playing offense is their defense, but we won’t shut up and sit down about this.
Kudos on the image selection, TPM. That sneering face is exactly how I picture Christie whenever he rears his head. It has almost washed my mind free of the thought of that beach chair and those wedgie-shorts, oh no, now that’s in my head again. Don’t think of an elephant!
I’m sorry. Chris who?
The Outlaw Jersey Whale wails, strikes out.
America yawns.
shorter Christie: Limiting major black cities to 1 drop box per 100,000 voters is so not racist.
And if you think you can sell.the idea that letting the Georgia state legislature control the elections in the Democratic counties is not racist, think again.
Pro tip to GQP: If you don’t like being accused of being racist, stop doing racist things!
I think that pretty much covers it.
Who lit the fire, Chris? That’s who’s responsible for it.
Don’t the Mets ever get tired of losing?
Chris really wishes they could do the same in N.J.
Let’s not forget who started this. Let’s not forget which party promoted lies about the election and used it to pass racist voter suppression laws.
Republicans don’t want us to call them racists. Ok, I’ll stop - When they stop doing racist things!!
Mr Christie, you and your party have no standing what so ever to complain about anyone’s lying. Your avatar-God trump lied more than 35000 times in his term. And lying is endemic to politicians anyway so just shut up about it OK?
edit
As pointed out by @yellowbeard, my number lacked a zero. which I have now added. I appreciate being corrected.
Christie should know about stoking ranging fires. He and the Republican Party have been doing it for 50 years. But it’s nothing but misdirection. That’s all they got. Just like Republicans claiming to the voters in their districts that they just supported the latest stimulus plan until they got called on the lie. Just tell Christie to save his venom for Gaetz.
OK, I’m now trying to figure out why this matters or if anyone cares what that pathetic has-been does or says. The crooked, incompetent Governor who made a fool of himself pimping Trump and trying (unsuccessfully) to get a gig in his administration would likely do better to simply STFU.
