Chris Christie is ready to blame former President Donald Trump for a potential GOP loss in the North Carolina gubernatorial election this November.

Earlier this week CNN released a bombshell report said the GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson made posts on a pornographic website called Nude Africa where he referred to himself as a “Black Nazi,” voiced support for bringing back slavery, and retold graphic sexual stories.

Robinson is running against Attorney General Josh Stein who is leading Robinson by a nearly double-digits after the scandal dropped.

During a Sunday panel discussion on ABC’s This Week, Christie told George Stephanopoulos that Trump is to blame for the potential loss in North Carolina because the former president endorsed Robinson.

CHRISTIE: This was predictable. Mark Robinson’s tenure in public life has shown erratic, sometimes highly offensive statements over and over again, and Donald Trump supported him and endorsed him. In fact, called him better than Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King Junior on steroids. So this was predictable. And this is the problem for us Republicans. As long as Donald Trump is you recruiting agent for candidates in swing states, we’re going to continue to get our rear ends handed to us. And Mark Robinson is not going to win this race. Can’t win this race.
STEPHANOPOULOS: He’s about 10-12 points behind.
CHRISTIE: Right. And he’s running against, by the way, a very formidable candidate in the attorney general, Josh Stein. So the fact is, this was going to be a tough race no matter what. And the problem for them now, George, is how much will that affect the top of the ticket?

TO: INDEPENDENT, MODERATE, AND UNDECIDED WOMEN VOTERS — BEWARE OF WHAT YOU MAY BE VOTING FOR: Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have made remarks that reveal offensive, sexist attitudes toward WOMEN. Trump’s Supreme Court has rolled back WOMEN’s reproductive rights by 50 years. Vance has even suggested WOMEN should prioritize being "baby machines," implying that their worth is tied to motherhood. These men perpetuate harmful stereotypes: that WOMEN only succeed by sleeping their way to the top, aren’t suited for leadership, lack the strength for the presidency, and should stick to being mothers. They imply WOMEN get promoted for their looks, not their skills, and that a WOMAN’s place is in the home. DEI initiatives, they claim, unfairly elevate WOMEN, and a WOMAN’s appearance or accent is used to undermine her credibility. These attitudes are an affront to WOMEN’s rights and autonomy. Your vote could decide whether America embraces these archaic views or respects the rights and perspectives that have been taken away.
