Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie offered a sweeping critique of the GOP on Thursday, urging it to become "the party that's perceived to be telling the American people the t***h" after months of "pretending we won" the 2020 e******n.

Christie, a frequent critic of his own party, told Politico ahead of a Thursday evening speech at the Ronald Reagan P**********l Library in California he intended to stress "first and foremost" in his remarks that the Republican Party needed to be "the party that's perceived to be telling the American people the t***h."

"Pretending we won when we lost is a waste of time and energy and credibility," Christie said during his speech Thursday evening, without mentioning the former president's name.


Christie argued the party must aim to dismiss extremists and conspiracy theories to offer a viable alternative to Democrats, citing the struggle against the far-right John Birch Society by Reagan and the conservative author William F. Buckley in the 1960s.

"No man, no woman, no matter what office they've held or wealth they've acquired, are worthy of blind faith or obedience," Christie said Thursday evening.


The former governor rebutted some of Trump's post-2020 e******n claims, hitting him over his allegations that widespread fraud led to his loss against President Joe Biden.

"We need to free ourselves from the quicksand of endless grievances. We need to turn our attention to the future and stop wallowing in the past," he said. "We need to face the realities of the 2020 e******n and learn, not hide from them. We need to discredit the extremists in our midst the way we've done it before."

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan also spoke at the library in May as part of a speaker series on the future of the GOP, cautioning the party to avoid culture wars and move beyond the Trump-era presidency. Ryan recently admitted that "it's really clear" Trump lost the 2020 e******n.


Despite Christie's reluctance to entertain Trump's fraud allegations, which the former president's Justice Department denied had any effect on the e******n outcome, the aftershock of the claims has resulted in several right-leaning states such as Georgia and Texas strengthening v****g security measures through new legislation.

You have no reason to laugh. Democrats discarded better candidates and instead propped up an old man in obvious decline who has never been a leader - and still isn’t.

Rose42

He might be who knows. But he’s right. The GOP needs to move on

Chris Christie and Paul Rino Ryan?!? I can’t believe these rinos were even allowed to speak at the Reagan Center. I thought the center only hosted solid right thinking statesmen.
These guys wet their finger and hold it up in the air before deciding what position they’ll take. Spineless!
