And things \u2062she said about global trade, for example, you say, shows she doesn&#8217;t even understand what she&#8217;s talking about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie responded by highlighting\u200d Haley&#8217;s refusal \u200bto rule out being \u2063Trump&#8217;s vice president,\u2062 which he believes undermines her credibility as a\u2064 contender against him.\u200d He\u200c contrasted this with his own\u200d and Ron DeSantis&#8217; clear rejection \u200bof the vice\u2064 presidency from\u200c Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why she&#8217;s not saying strong\u2062 things against Donald\u2064 Trump, why she&#8217;s saying\u2062 he&#8217;s fit \u2063to be President of the United States,&#8221; Christie explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m\u2063 going to take Nikki \u200dHaley&#8217;s word [for] it.\u2062 She \u200csays she believes he&#8217;s fit \u200dto be president. If \u2064you\u2063 believe someone who says those kind of things \u200dand is \u2063under four criminal indictments is fit to \u200dbe president, then you can agree with her. I don&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Christie&#8217;s\u200d Criticism Continues<\/h3>\n<p>Christie didn&#8217;t stop there. During his CNN interview, he took another jab at Haley in response to\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stacey-plaskett-argues-against-gops-argument-the-party-is-being-censored\/\" title=\"Stacey Plaskett disputes GOP's claim of censorship.\">recent\u200c controversial remarks made<\/a> by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The other problem with this is the Republicans who are saying\u2064 this\u200d is\u2062 OK, almost 100\u200c members of Congress who have endorsed him, Nikki Haley,\u200c who this week \u200bsaid he is fit to be president,&#8221; Christie expressed. &#8220;Nikki Haley\u200d should\u2063 be ashamed of herself. And she&#8217;s part of the problem, because she&#8217;s enabling him. \u2062She&#8217;s enabling him by saying to people, it&#8217;s OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chris Christie turns on Nikki Haley, rips \u200cher for saying Trump is \u200b&#8221;fit&#8221; to be President.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nikki Haley should be ashamed of herself and she&#8217;s part\u200b of the problem.

Why do you \u2062think she&#8217;s\u200d not a serious candidate?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie responded by highlighting\u200c Haley&#8217;s \u2063failure to criticize Trump&#8217;s actions and rhetoric during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s the most important issue,&#8221; Christie said. &#8220;When a candidate \u2062runs for office, especially \u200cfor\u2062 president, they \u200bhave\u2064 to be willing\u200c to\u200d speak truth to power. They have to be willing to stand\u200b up and say when the leader is wrong \u200bor when they disagree with the leader&#8217;s policies. Nikki Haley has failed\u200b to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He went on to criticize Haley for her\u2062 continued support\u2063 of Trump even\u2064 after the Capitol riot\u2063 on \u200cJanuary 6th.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the events of January 6th, I would have expected Nikki Haley to distance herself from Trump and condemn his actions,&#8221; Christie explained. &#8220;But instead, she continues to stand\u2064 by him and defend him. That shows\u200c a lack of principle \u2063and a lack of \u2063courage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie also \u2064accused Haley \u200cof putting her own\u200b political ambitions above doing what is right for the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2063 believe that Nikki Haley is\u2064 more interested in preserving her own political future than in doing what is best\u200b for the American people,&#8221; he \u2064said. &#8220;She sees that Trump still\u2064 has a strong \u200cbase of \u200bsupport within the Republican Party, and she doesn&#8217;t want to \u200dalienate that base. But\u2062 true leadership requires \u2062making tough decisions, even \u2063if they are unpopular.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie concluded by urging Haley to\u2064 reconsider her support for Trump and to take a\u200b stand\u200b against his damaging influence on the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope\u200b that Nikki Haley will have\u2063 a change of heart and recognize that the future of our party\u2063 and our country depends on standing\u200b up to Trump,&#8221; Christie \u200csaid. &#8220;We need \u2063leaders who are willing to put principle above politics and to \u2063speak out against those\u200d who undermine our \u200bdemocracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the Republican Party continues to grapple with its identity post-Trump, voices like Christie&#8217;s are likely to become more prominent. While some Republicans, like Haley, continue\u2063 to support Trump,\u2062 others are speaking\u200d out and pushing for a new direction. \u200dOnly\u200b time \u200dwill tell which path the party ultimately chooses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized former U.N.
