The reigning king in this category is definitely Chris Christie, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the alternatives on the Republican side are all – and this should be unbelievable – even worse, that would be a great thing.
It’s still a good thing, by the way.
Christie is trying to walk a fine line that only the media wants to buy, just like nobody wants to buy his book that the media has endlessly hyped.
He actually (says he) thinks it would have been a good idea to put Jim Jordan on the January 6th committee, which is like-how does it go- putting the fox into the henhouse. That’s unfair to foxes, which are all smarter than Jordan, but you get my drift. His reasoning? Why it affects the credibility of the committee in the eyes of the Republicans who would never accept factual findings in the first place:
“It does affect to some extent in my party the credibility the committee has,” he opined. “In the end, the facts are going to come out. But let’s not kid ourselves, this was a driven-from-the-top process executed by C-team players and that’s why it looks like a Keystone Cops operation because it was.”
Do I detect a strategy on Christie’s part to avoid directly accusing Trump of having a hand in the insurrection, given that it was “executed by C-team players”?
He’ll never be president because he is looking to be the anti-Trump Republican while trying to appeal to the Trumpists, or as many of them as he can seduce with gobbledegook.
It still never ceases to amaze that he can go on television as the voice of Republican reason, and is never confronted with his history of Trumpist sychophancy.
