EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says President Donald Trump’s racially fraught comments about “both sides” being to blame for a deadly neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, were “a mistake.”
But Christie says he know Trump isn’t a racist.
The Republican governor made the comments Monday during an unrelated event in East Rutherford. Christie says there’s not a moral equivalency between neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Christie is a close political ally of Trump and leads his national drug commission.
Christie just returned from a 10-day vacation and says he hasn’t spoken to the president yet.
But he says he’ll keep any advice he has for him between Trump and himself.
No, Trump is probably not a racist. He thinks everyone is beneath him.
Poor CC has given up, no job in the WH for him, no job as a sports-caster…
I sure Donald can’t wait to hear what you have to say and will act on it immediately Christie.
