Much like his earlier debate comments about not saying Trump’s name, Christie pointedly attacked DeSantis for being afraid to answer directly whether Trump is fit to serve another term in the Oval Office.
“He’s afraid to answer. Either you’re afraid or you’re not listening,” Christie said.
He continued, saying, “This is the problem with my three colleagues. They’re afraid to offend. Let me tell you something, if you’re afraid to offend Donald Trump then what are you going to do when you sit across from [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping], you sit across from the Ayatollah, you sit across from [Russian President Vladimir] Putin? You have to be willing to offend with the truth.”
DeSantis responded by saying Trump’s age suggests he would be unfit.
“It’s not about offending. It’s about pointing out: Do you want to elect someone who will be older than Biden when he went in in 2021? I don’t think he’s as bad as Biden was at all, but I do think over a four-year period, it is not a job for someone who is pushing 80,” DeSantis said.
