Chris Christie Says Trump Is 'Disgusting' For Latest Display Of Xenophobia
HuffPost
During a campaign event in New Hampshire, Trump told crowds that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”
Chris Christie thinks Donald Trump’s stance on immigration makes him unfit for office.
Christie continued to make his case against his rival for the Republican presidential candidacy during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, where he called out the former president for comments he made at a campaign event in New Hampshire the day prior.
Trump, the GOP’s current front-runner, was openly xenophobic during the speech, where he told crowds that immigrants are “pouring” into the U.S. and “poisoning the blood of our country.”
“He’s disgusting,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “And what he’s doing is dog-whistling to Americans who feel absolutely under stress and strain from the economy and from the conflicts around the world. And he’s dog-whistling to blame it on people from areas that don’t look like us.”
The former governor of New Jersey also accused Republicans of enabling Trump, pointing fingers at members of congress and fellow primary candidate Nikki Haley.
