A bold move, Chris Christie takes on Donald Trump with a no-nonsense ad, accusing the former president of putting self-interest above the nation. The ad, aired on CNN, doesn’t mince words as Christie asserts, I’m the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar.
Despite trailing in the polls, Christie stands firm, relying on his straightforward approach to make a comeback before the Jan. 23 primary. The ad, reportedly costing seven figures, presents Christie’s straightforward pitch: Vote for him because he’s willing to speak the truth about Trump while others hide behind closed doors.
According to Christie, Trump’s actions, including the Capitol Hill riot, reveal a willingness to burn America to the ground to help himself. The former New Jersey governor challenges voters to consider the type of president they want: a liar or someone with the guts to tell the truth.
With a jab at Trump’s divisive tactics and a provocative question about presidential qualities, Christie aims to set himself apart from the competition, even if he’s currently trailing in the polls.
