Chris Christie calls Trump legal team a "national embarrassment"

Long time Trump supporter Chris Christie says it’s time for Trump to concede and ripped the members of his legal defense team, calling them a “national embarrassment” during an appearance on ABC News on Sunday.

“Quite frankly, the conduct of the President’s legal team has been a national embarrassment,” said Christie. “They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don’t plead fraud and they don’t argue fraud.”

“I have been a supporter of the president’s. I voted for him twice. But elections have consequences & we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen.” He says an unwillingness to present evidence “must mean the evidence doesn’t exist.”

This comes hours after a Pennsylvania judge dismissed, with prejudice, a Trump campaign case which seeks to stop the certification of election results in the state, because the lawyers did not produce any factual proof to support their claim of fraud.
