Chris Christie and\u2026 far leftists intent on butchering confused children?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s certainly a choice.<\/p>\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-jr-calls-ending-protest-bud-light-claims-anheuser-busch-totally-s-bed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">odd pairings<\/a> \u2014 like Donald Trump Jr. and the beleaguered Bud Light \u2014 at least make some semblance of sense. Even a cynic would admit that Trump Jr. defending Bud Light amid cultural furor and backlash could be a matter of self-preservation, potentially leading to more money in his father\u2019s political coffers, or even swathes of votes for his father in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Far leftists will never, ever vote for or donate any substantial sum of money to Chris Christie. Period. End of story.<\/p>\n<p>So then why is Christie going on far<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-tries-to-distinguish-himself-from-republican-field-and-it-completely-blows-up-in-his-face\/\" title=\"Chris Christie's attempt to stand out among Republicans backfires.\">-left establishment media networks<\/a> to peddle far-left nonsense? Your guess is as good as mine, but this is not going to end well for the former governor.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d on Sunday, Christie spoke with host Jake Tapper about former president and 2024 GOP primary frontrunner Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<h3>\u201cRepublican governors across the country have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/christie-says-transgender-operations-on-minors-should-be-allowed-if-parents-consent\/\" title=\"Christie supports parental consent for transgender operations on minors.\">banning hormone therapy<\/a> and puberty blockers for transgender people under 18 years old,\u201d Tapper said, before clarifying that those procedures are only banned when they pertain to \u201ctrans health procedures\u201d and can be used as medically necessary otherwise.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u201cAs governor of New Jersey, you signed into law some legal protections for trans people, including students,\u201d Tapper continued. \u201cWhat do you make of your fellow Republican governors and candidates going in the opposite direction?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cJake, what I believe we should be focused on, most importantly on these issues, is making sure there is parental involvement at every step along the way,\u201d Christie responded.<\/p>\n<p>The former governor then proceeded to double down on ensuring parents are involved and the federal government is not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More parental involvement and less government idea is a wonderful idea \u2014 except for the part where Christie is still tacitly approving of mutilating confused children in the name of some far-left LGBT ideology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notice the squishy politician-speak that Christie is employing here.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s willfully twisting the genuine conservative merits of small government and nuclear families to give a totally pathetic non-answer.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, but if you\u2019re not able to state the simple fact \u201cChildren should not undergo radical, experimental and irreversibly surgeries based on a whim,\u201d you\u2019re simply not a conservative.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, Trump Jr. and Christie both seem to be saying that transgenderism is kind of, sort of, maybe okay in certain cases (Bud Light has come under ongoing scrutiny for associating with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.) Both are very wrong, but at least Trump Jr. likely curried some sort of favor for his father. Christie, in a best-case scenario, gained about a half-dozen votes.<\/p>\n<p>And those five or six votes hardly offset the swathes of potential voters Christie\u2019s losing with this asinine and bizarre campaign strategy, that not only includes being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/worried-about-an-ai-dystopia-the-global-fertility-industry-has-it-beat-by-decades\/\" title=\"AI dystopia concerns? Global fertility industry already ahead.\">pro-child mutilation<\/a>, but also being so comically anti-Trump that the co-hosts of \u201cThe View\u201d are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/view-believes-1-republican-going-scorched-earth-trump-not-desantis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lionizing him<\/a> for it.<\/p>\n<p>That brilliant battle plan has amounted to\u2026 literally nothing.<\/p>\n<p>How so? Major polling site <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/president-primary-r\/2024\/national\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FiveThirtyEight<\/a> doesn\u2019t even count Christie as a \u201cmajor\u201d candidate. Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchison, all of whom have also declared and all of whom are also polling under 6 percent (Hutchison is under 1 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Christie can\u2019t crack that list.<\/p>\n<p>But if you need any further proof that Christie\u2019s rhetoric has completely blown up in his face, look no further than his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/student-suspended-from-education-program-for-saying-a-man-is-a-man-a-woman-is-a-woman\/\" title=\"Student Suspended From Education Program For Saying, \u2018A Man Is A Man, A Woman Is A Woman\u2019\">social media presence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Everything he posts is inundated with derisive and insulting responses from profiles ranging the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trumps-lawyers-say-impeachment-is-constitutionally-flawed-selfish-ploy-by-democrats\/\" title=\"Trump\u2019s Lawyers Say Impeachment Is Constitutionally Flawed, \u2018Selfish\u2019 Ploy by Democrats\">entire political spectrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump?\">@realDonaldTrump<\/a> is not worried because we are not worried<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tracy smith (@browt1971) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/browt1971\/status\/1670573218824871939?\">June 18, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s actually something of a task to find an affirming response to any of Christie\u2019s social media posts.<\/p>\n<p>So to recap: Christie has angered swathes of Republicans by tacitly approving far-left LGBT ideologies targeting children and unhinged attacks on Donald Trump. Christie will also never have much support from the far left, no matter how much of their drivel he approves of, simply because of the political party he\u2019s affiliated with. He\u2019s doing irreparable harm to his standing in his own party for a less than one percent chance of even getting out of primaries. He\u2019s further tattering what remains of his reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Which really begs the ultimate question: Why in the world is Chris Christie running for president?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chris-christie-tries-distinguish-republican-field-completely-blows-face\/\">Chris Christie Tries to Distinguish Himself from Republican Field and It Completely Blows Up in His Face<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics breeds unlikely alliances, with countless foes and friends.
