Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was booed to such a degree during the first Republican Debate of the 2024 Election season that moderator Bret Baier had to intervene.
Baier asked the eight candidates onstage Wednesday night in Milwaukee whether they would support former President Donald Trump if he is convicted in one of his indictments.
Christie was one of two candidates who didn’t raise their hands. (The other was former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.)
“Here’s the bottom line: Someone’s got to stop normalizing this conduct,” the former governor explained.
“Whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the United States,” he said.
After he was jeered, Christie responded, “This is the great thing about this country: Booing is allowed, but it doesn’t change the truth.”
Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy then accused Christie of running a hypocritical campaign of “vengeance” against Trump.
