New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told Politico he blames White House senior adviser Jared Kushner for his ouster from President Donald Trump’s transition team, Newsmax writes. Christie reportedly asked former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon whether Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser, was behind his ouster and that Bannon “didn’t answer.” Bannon, now in charge of Breitbart News, fired Christie as chair of the transition team.
“But based on subsequent conversations I’ve had with the president, I just don’t believe this was the president’s decision,” Christie said.
However, he added that he is not angry at Kushner and told Politico he would “never underestimate Jared’s ability to be involved in whatever he wants to be involved in.” Christie also told Politico that he was dissatisfied with Republican governors when it came time to back his presidential campaign.
“I think it was an enormous leadership opportunity lost for the Republican governors. They just sat on the sidelines for reasons that I’ll never completely understand because there were a lot of good candidates to pick from.” Christie said.
