Christie accused the South Carolina senator of “pandering” to Trump supporters
The former New Jersey governor is unleashing on Scott over the South Carolina senator’s refusal to blame Donald Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, saying on television Sunday that he was “disappointed” in Scott and then continuing to drag him during a campaign swing here Monday.
“I’m disappointed in Tim. That he would be sitting out there saying it’s really not the president’s responsibility. The President invited them there,” Christie told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Christie polled third in several surveys of likely GOP voters in the state following his launch in June. But it was Scott who finished third, with 8 percent support, in areleased last week, behind Trump at 37 percent and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 23 percent. Christie and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum were next, tied with 6 percent apiece.
“I like Tim a lot. I think Tim is a good man. I don’t have a bad thing to say about him. But he was asked [Sunday] if Donald Trump is responsible for January 6 and he said no,” Christie told dozens of voters packed into a VFW post in Concord on Monday night. “It is disgraceful what [Trump] did that day. And it is disappointing that Tim Scott said what he said.”Christie insists his newfound sniping at Scott is only over his Jan.
