Opinion | Charles Hurt: Christie, DeSantis, Trump celebrate Fourth of July with a ‘food fight’ WashTimesOpEd
“I’m not comfortable with it,” he said about the slashing fight between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Then Mr. Trump released a doctored video of Mr. Christie stalking a giant all-you-can-eat buffet holding a plate piled with food as he delivered his announcement speech, complete with his many references to “small.” “They’re trying to divide us further,” Mr. Christie said, at a time when there are “big, big issues to be talking about here.”Specifically, Mr. Christie was upset about a video that Mr. DeSantis’ campaign sent out attacking Mr. Trump for being too cozy with gays, transgender people, and shirtless male weightlifters slathered in baby oil on the beach.
“It is a teenage, you know, food fight between Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump,” Mr. Christie said. “And I don’t think that’s what leaders should be doing.”To be sure, the video was certainly an odd attack on Mr. Trump. But here’s the thing: Mr. Trump’s comments vowing to protect gay people came in the weeks after a crazed radical Islamic terrorist entered the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and shot up the place — killing 49 innocent citizens.
