Chris Christie&#8217;s answers during Wednesday&#8217;s 2024 GOP primary debate indicated that he thinks Donald Trump&#8217;s\u200d conduct in challenging the\u200d 2020 election results is a greater issue than the Department of \u200bJustice and Democrat district \u2063attorneys&#8217; \u200btargeting of the \u2064former president.<\/p>\n<p>The moment came after debate hosts Bret \u200dBaier and Martha MacCallum referenced DA Fani Willis&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/08\/15\/trumps-georgia-indictment-shows-the-democrat-political-prosecutions-are-so-much-worse-than-the-supposed-crimes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent indictment<\/a> of Trump \u2064and his associates in Fulton \u200cCounty, Georgia, and asked the \u200dcandidates if they would support Trump if he \u200bis convicted and becomes\u200c the Republican presidential nominee. While Christie initially raised his hand, he then used the moment to criticize the former\u2064 president for challenging the results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether or not you believe that \u2062the \u200dcriminal charges \u2064are right or wrong, the conduct is\u200c beneath \u200bthe office of president of the United States,&#8221;\u200b Christie <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v3ak5c2-fox-news-republican-presidential-primary-debate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> \u2062to boos from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Christie&#8217;s claim,\u200d legally challenging the results of elections is a perfectly legal and normal \u200bprocess. What&#8217;s not normal or legal is America&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-thinks-trump-being-targeted-by-the-deep-state-is-beneath-the-office-of-president\/\" title=\"Christie: Deep State Targeting Trump Is Unworthy of Presidency.\">law enforcement agencies abusing<\/a> their power \u200cto target the leading candidate of the opposition party in the lead-up to a major election. As it currently stands, Trump is facing more than 90 charges across four separate indictments, two of which include charges from \u200dPresident\u200b Joe Biden&#8217;s Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>In one case,\u2063 the DOJ is charging Trump for \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-launches-2024-presidential-bid\/\" title=\"Trump Launches 2024 Presidential Bid\">allegedly mishandling classified documents<\/a>. Yet, individuals such as Biden and Hillary Clinton \u2014 both of whom have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/01\/10\/theres-a-difference-between-biden-and-trumps-classified-documents-snafus-but-its-not-what-you-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mishandled classified<\/a> \u200d information in\u200b the past \u2014 have not faced similar charges. Rather than highlight the egregiousness of America&#8217;s two-tiered justice system, Christie instead took\u200b shots at Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here is the bottom line. Someone&#8217;s\u200c got\u2062 to stop normalizing this conduct,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Shawn Fleetwood is a staff\u200d writer \u2062for The\u2064 Federalist and a graduate \u200cof the University of Mary Washington.
