Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) called the legal theory employed by President Trump and his legal team to try to overturn the election “an absurdity.”
When asked by ABC’s “This Week” host Martha Raddatz what he would say to his fellow Republicans who continue to dispute the results of the election, Christie said those efforts are not credible.
“Listen, the legal theory put forward by his legal team and by the president is an absurdity,” Christie said. “And the reason why the Supreme Court didn’t take it is because it’s an absurd idea to think that any state, or any number of states, no matter how good they are, can challenge another state’s right to run the election as they see fit. And also there’s no evidence.”
Chris Christie says the Trump legal team's “legal theory" is "an absurdity."
"The reason the Supreme Court is not taking this is not because of a lack of courage. It’s for the same reason that every court has thrown this out — it’s a lack of evidence.” https://t.co/pUvrfxqSMo pic.twitter.com/IGwp4mxJuo

“The reason the Supreme Court is not taking this is not because of a lack of courage,” Christie said. “It’s for the same reason that every court has thrown this out. It’s a lack of evidence and a lack of any type of legal theory that makes any sense.”
