Christie jabs at lack of crowd for Trump at CPAC: ‘That room was half-full’
by Stephen Neukam - 03/05/23 1:11 PM ET

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday appeared to poke fun at the size of the crowd that attended former President Trump’s keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend, saying that the room was “half-full.”

“You saw the scenes at CPAC, that room was half-full,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.” “The reason I don’t think the rallies are going on … I don’t think the rallies would be nearly as big as they were before.”

Camera shots from Trump’s speech at the conference showed that the room was not nearly at full capacity. Christie, who ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican primary and then worked on Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, used the speech’s attendance to point to what he thinks is Trump’s waning support.

Instead of taking meaningless political jabs at each other like Democrats, they need to be working together to make the GOP a Conservative party again.

All I know is my Senator (Tubberville) made sure to firmly plant his lips on Trump's behind, it was embarrassing. So much so, that I wrote him pointing out just how misaligned he was in my opinion. Time to support someone that doesn't want to take my guns first before due process. Someone that understand the constitution without running it through a popularity romp through Rino's that only work a few months for him before being fired.

The same CPAC that chooses Lake over DeSantis for VPOTUS? by a 2:1 margin?

Sounds like Trump trolling to me.

CPAC has pretty much gone full Trumper, and I think those who didn't attend were wise not to do so.
