Chris Christie has a new target: Tim Scott.
The former New Jersey governor is unleashing on Scott over the South Carolina senator’s refusal to blame Donald Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, saying on television Sunday that he was “disappointed” in Scott and then continuing to drag him during a campaign swing here Monday.
Scott said during an appearance on New Hampshire’s WMUR on Friday, “I don’t hold the former president who didn’t show up at the Capitol and threatened my life as responsible … I can only hold responsible the very people who threatened my life and the former president did not threaten my life.”
By Sunday, Christie — whose campaign is fueled in large part by his furor against Trump — was going directly after Scott.
