Former Republican Gov. Chris Christie criticized President Biden for his initial response to the Nashville school shooting, which left three adults and three children dead.
Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says there is ‘no lack’ of gun violence laws that must be ‘enforced.’after he joked that he only made a public appearance because he heard there would be ice cream before discussing the tragedy that claimed the lives of three adults and three children at an elementary school earlier in the day.
"To say that he misunderstood the moment would be an understatement," former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Fox News later Monday."You know, the president is watching, you’d hope before he comes down there, the awful scenes from the shooting and the reactions of family members and friends of people in that school.
Authorities say a female shooter wielding two"assault-style" rifles and a pistol killed three students and three adults at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school for about 200 students from preschool through sixth grade. The shooter was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville resident who identified as transgender. Hale died after being shot by police following the violence. Police said she was once a student at the school. similar to the ban he helped pass in 1994.
"It’s not about playing politics," Christie told Fox News host Martha MacCallum on"The Story.""The second-worst thing to do after making a joke on a day like today is to play politics with it. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the president did. He went back to the old playbook."
