Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., summed up the Clinton campaign’s current cratering state of affairs in one word Monday night.
“Her whole campaign has become very ironic,” Christie told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly. The former 2016 Republican candidate lambasted Clinton for calling on Americans to “stand together” in her campaign motto, but then smearing conservatives as a “basketful of deplorables.”
“She said she’s going to bring the country together. The fact is that this is a campaign that’s trying to run out the clock,” Christie said. “This is a person who’s supposed to be the single most qualified person, but she has no plan, no substantive things she’s put forward.”
The Donald Trump surrogate said the GOP nominee’s controversial 2015 comments about illegal aliens from Mexico are no longer of interest to voters since Clinton played a more offensive race card last week.
Clinton’s early departure from a 9/11 memorial service, nearly passing out on the street Sunday, and hiding details about her pneumonia diagnosis from the public items only further complicates her lack of trust with voters, who are concerned about her health and her ability to be transparent, Christie explained.
Christie blamed the people who surround her in part for her inability to get out ahead of issues before they snowball into scandals.
“She doesn’t have people around her who speak the truth to her,” Christie said. He also suggested that the former secretary of state is snobbishly elitist.
