Chris Christie Takes MASSIVE Stand For Trump
By: Ben Marquis
In order to counter the prevailing liberal media narrative surrounding the class-action civil lawsuit alleging fraud at the now-defunct Trump University, the billionaire businessman decided to launch personal attacks against the liberally biased judge presiding over the case.
Trump intended to intimate that the judge could not hear the case fairly due to his Mexican heritage and liberal leanings in favor of illegal immigration and against border security, two things Trump feels very strongly about.
Of course the media seized on Trump’s mention of the judge’s heritage and misconstrued it as a racially charged attack against all Mexicans and Hispanics, which prompted former GOP primary rival-turned-campaign surrogate New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to attempt to set the media straight, according to The Hill.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday morning, Christie declared: “I’ve said this before: I know Donald Trump. I’ve known him for 14 years, and Donald Trump is not a racist.”

C“The allegations that he is are absolutely contrary to every experience I’ve had with him over the last 14 years, so we’re gonna end it there,” he added.
When pressed further on the matter by reporters, who brought up the denouncement of Trump’s comments as “racist” by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Christie replied, “Congressman Ryan is entitled to his opinion, as is everyone else who has an opinion on this. I’ve expressed mine, and if all we’re gonna do is talk about this, I’m gonna get in the car and go back ’cause I’ve already given my opinion.”
Though Trump has a tendency to say things in a rough manner that can be easily taken out of context or deliberately misconstrued, his blunt comments usually end up being proven correct over time.
In fact, it has since been revealed that the American-born judge of Mexican descent really is biased against Trump regarding at least the immigration issue, if not others, and quite possibly won’t give Trump a fair hearing.
If that’s the case, Trump was right all along, despite the original comments coming across as “racist” and insensitive.
