Chris Christie Says Trump Should Be Impeached: If Inciting an Insurrectionist Mob Isn’t Impeachable, ‘I Don’t Know What’ Is

By Ken MeyerJan 10th, 2021, 11:46 am

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie said there are grounds to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol.

Speaking with George Stephanopoulos on the panel discussion for ABC’s This Week’s, Christie was asked if Republicans would be “hard pressed” to oppose the new push by Democrats to have Trump removed from office. Christie agreed that Trump’s words his supporters were an “incitement to riot” that resulted in loss of life, so Stephanopoulos asked if he thought Trump committed an impeachable offense.

“Oh sure, yeah,” Christie said. “If I think it’s an impeachable offense, that’s exactly what I would do…If inciting to insurrection isn’t, then I don’t know what it is.”

Christie went on by accusing Democrats of “cheapening” impeachment with their previous attempt to remove Trump over the Ukraine scandal, but Trump’s incitement fits the definition of impeachable conduct. He also said other Republicans have “had enough” of Trump, and that it was “a national disgrace” the White House’s flag wasn’t at half-staff in honor of Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Hill police officer who was killed in the riots.

2. lets see calling the leader of Ukraine and demanding that they

MANUFACTURE dirt on a political rival might just be something right there.

Where was your call for impeachment conviction and removal then Mr. Christie?

3. Christie's a jerk.

The Ukraine scandal was also very clearly grounds for impeachment, of course. This is just a dirty, conniving attempt to use Trump's treasonous deeds in a rhetorically sneaky, opposite-world argument that the GOP Senators who didn't vote to convict didn't fail their duty to the country.

It's a marvelous piece of rhetorical poison. Are we now going to accept Trump's incitement to insurrection (which was the fault of GOP Senators except Romney) as a retroactive defense of the Republicans who enabled it? I don't think so. Nice try, Christie, you piece of shit.

7. I think it was covid.

After Christy got covid (likely as he was preparing Trump for the debate), he didn't seem to like Trump anymore.
