Former New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped former President Trump for having dinner with
white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago this week, saying Trump showed an
"awful lack of judgment" in doing so.
Driving the
news: Trump's dinner with Fuentes — who has been labeled a "white
supremacist" by the Justice Department — took place about one week after
he formally announced his 2024 presidential campaign.
Catch up
quick: Trump dined with Fuentes and rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at
his Mar-a-Lago resort last Tuesday night, Axios Jonathan Swan reports.
The former
president "seemed very taken" and impressed with Fuentes, a source
familiar with the dinner told Axios.
What he
said: Christie told the New York Times that the dinner was another sign that
Trump is unfit to run in 2024.
“This is
just another example of an awful lack of judgment from Donald Trump, which,
combined with his past poor judgments, make him an untenable general election
candidate for the Republican Party in 2024,” Christie said.
"[Trump]
can’t stand not having attention all the time."
“And so,
having someone show up at his club — even if you believe that he didn’t know
who Nick Fuentes was — and want to sit with him, feeds the hunger he feels for
the attention he’s missing since he left the presidency," he added.
Flashback:
Christie, a former Trump ally who may be announcing his own 2024 presidential
campaign, has made several jabs at Trump in recent weeks.
Earlier in
November, Christie received massive applause at a meeting of Republican governors
when he blamed Trump for recent GOP failures, Axios' Jonathan Swan and Zachary
Basu report.
He also
said in an interview earlier this month that the Trump administration
"didn't get a lot of stuff done."
