Last Friday NJ.com published another unlabeled1 editorial displaying once again the Star-Ledger‘s disdain for former New Jersey governor Chris Christie. While critical of any Republican who expresses any support for former President Donald Trump, they now attribute Christie’s recent less than kind comments to preparation for another presidential run himself.
I have no idea if Christie is going to run again and nothing in the editorial (I’m sorry, article) suggests that the Star-Ledger has inside information to confirm that he will. While the Star-Ledger is quick to remind its readers that Christe was an early Trump supporter when he dropped out of the 2016 race, it is less quick to remind them (or perhaps tell them for the first time) that Christie was never an election denier in 2020 as he made very clear in his book Republican Rescue: Saving the Party From Truth Deniers, Conspiracy Theorists, and the Dangerous Policies of Joe Biden.
