Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R)’s previous criticisms against him “just politics.”
Christie, who quit his presidential bid earlier this month, endorsed the real estate mogul on Friday.
“I think it is politics,” Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I mean, people say things, and then all of a sudden, reality sets in. And he’s great. He’s a great guy. He’s the one endorsement I really wanted. I wanted it badly.”
As Christie sought the GOP nomination, he called Trump “thin-skinned” and a “13-year old” for skipping the Fox News presidential debate. Christie also said Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims was “ridiculous.”
