A pair of Republican governors – one current and one former – were blunt in their assessments of President Donald Trump's continued efforts to reverse his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump ally, said on ABC News' "The Week" that "the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment." He called Sidney Powell's unsubstantiated allegation that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was part of an elaborate conspiracy to rig the election for Biden "outrageous conduct by any lawyer. "
"They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but when they go inside the courtroom, they don't plead fraud and they don't argue fraud," Christie said. "Listen, I've been a supporter of the president's. I voted for him twice. But elections have consequences, and we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn't happen."
Christie said if the Trump team is "unwilling to come forward and present the evidence" of widespread election fraud, "it must mean the evidence doesn't exist."
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan – a fierce Trump critic who did not vote for him in 2016 or 2020 – told CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump's effort to pressure legislators in states he lost into flipping the electors for him was "completely outrageous."
"Now we're beginning to look like we're a banana republic," Hogan said. "It's time for them to stop the nonsense. It just gets more bizarre every single day. And, frankly, I'm embarrassed that more people in the party aren't speaking up."
Trump attacked Hogan on Twitter after the interview aired Sunday, criticizing him for his purchase of coronavirus testing kits for his state from South Korea.
"If you had done your job, America's governors wouldn't have been forced to fend for themselves to find tests in the middle of a pandemic, as we successfully did in Maryland," Hogan tweeted in response.
"Stop golfing and concede."
