GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie said he would not issue a pardon for former President Trump if he were elected president in 2024 and if Trump were convicted of a crime.

In an interview on “The View” on Wednesday, the former New Jersey governor did not hesitate to say “no” when co-host Joy Behar pointed out that GOP presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis said they would pardon Trump and asked whether Christie would do the same.

“No, no, no, no,” Christie said, before Behar finished asking the question.

He drew on his experience as governor in explaining his reasoning.

      Well, if public approval of this interview is high enough, spineless bottomfeeders like DeSantis might do the ol’ populist switcharoo, opinion boogaloo and change their “stance” on this topic as well… until they think a promise of pardon might give them more voters and they revert back that is.

        Republicans don’t care about public approval. All of those “candidates” know they’re really fighting for positions in Trump’s admin should he actually win.
