Chris Christie Weighs In On Shocking Trump Colorado Supreme Court Ruling
HuffPost
The former New Jersey governor said his position on the court decision might seem "counterintuitive" to many due to his criticism of the former president.
On Tuesday, Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), one of the fiercest critics of Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary race, reacted to a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that found the former president ineligible to run for the White House in 2024.
In a shocking 4-3 decision, Colorado’s high court said Trump should be disqualified from the state’s primary presidential ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states that those who took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution but then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against it or gave “aid or comfort to [its] enemies,” should be prevented from holding state or federal office.
During a town hall event in New Hampshire, Christie said the ruling was “premature” and predicted there would be “a lot of anger in this country” if people’s choice to vote for Trump was taken away. He added that a decision of this magnitude should not have been made before Trump faces trial in the 2020 election interference case.
“I don’t think a court should exclude somebody from running for president without there being a trial and evidence that’s accepted by a jury that they did participate in insurrection,” he said.
Trump faces four federal charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. The case is scheduled to go on trial next March.
