Chris Christie Booed for Criticizing Trump at Conservative Event

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie was booed by supporters of former President Donald Trump at a gathering of religious conservatives in Washington as he attacked Trump's character and accused him of a "failure of leadership." Christie, who is among a half-dozen GOP presidential aspirants, sought to elevate the issue of "character" during his remarks, telling the audience that leaders need to concede mistakes. The episode underscored how Christie is trying to position himself as a bare-knuckled brawler best equipped to take the fight to Trump, as well as the challenge that poses in winning over voters still fond of the former president.
