4:01Now PlayingChris Christie is taking aim at Donald Trump's kids, specifically Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, for using their positions to enrich themselves. Christie called out the $2 billion that Kushner got after leaving office, finally bringing Republican attention to the fact that everything Republicans believe Hunter Biden did was DEFINITELY done by Trump's own family. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this could be a powerful line of attack.

Former New Jersey governor turned second chance Republican Presidential hopeful. Chris Christie took a major shot at Donald Trump's children this week, specifically of course, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. During a rally in New Hampshire, Chris Christie called out the Trump children for using their connections to the President of the United States to enrich themselves. Here's what Chris Christie said. The grift from this family is breathtaking. It's breathtaking. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Kushner walk outta the White House and months later get $2 billion from the Saudis. You think it's because he is some kind of invest investing genius, or do you think it's because he was sitting next to the president of the United States for four years doing favors for the Saudis? That's your money, that's your money he stole and gave it to his family. You know what? That makes us a banana republic. Now, again, I, I always feel the need to say this.
I don't like Chris Christie. I don't like any of his policies. I don't like anything he did as governor of New Jersey. I believe those investigations into his activities were fully a sham. Otherwise he would've probably been indicted. But I gotta say, having him in this race certainly adds a new layer of fun to it because Chris Christie is willing to go out there and say the things that need to be said. Chris Christie is basically doing what I have wanted the Democrats to do for many, many years. And that is to hit Donald Trump as hard as humanly possible. That is to go after Ivanka and Jared. And I hope Chris Christie keeps this up because reminding the public of this, not only for the Republican primary, but it helps the Democrats in the general election regardless of who the Republican nominee becomes, because it reminds them of the corruption, it reminds them of the complete grift that these Republicans under Donald Trump pulled for four straight years.
And of course, the grift continued once he left office. And I think a great parallel to draw to this right now obviously is Hunter Biden. We've got Republicans that are going wall to wall in the House of Representatives trying to find everything they can to prove that Hunter Biden used his connection to his powerful daddy to get money from foreign governments. Well, this story here with Jared Kushner, this was literally headline news. Everybody knew this happened and everybody knew why this happened. But, but where are those investigations? I know, uh, Democrats, when they controlled the house last year, towards the middle of the year, they launched an investigation, but of course, lost the house before they could complete it. So, you know, maybe you should have done that earlier, but you know, hindsight's always 2020, but Republicans
Are pushing an investigation under Hunter Biden because they think, even though they can't prove it, that he did the same thing Jared Kushner did, who they don't seem to care about one bit. And Chris Christie so far is the only Republican out there on the campaign trail willing to take these shots against Donald Trump and his corrupt little hellions. And that's what needs to happen. I do not want Chris Christie to be president. I do not think Chris Christie will even make it really to the primaries and caucuses. But while he's in this race, he can do what he does best, and that is to just beat the hell out of all of his opponents and remind the public of how corrupt they are.
