Chris Christie takes shots at Tim Scott in New Hampshire-World-Wire

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says comments from Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina – one of his rivals for 2024 Republican presidential nomination – that former President Donald Trump isn't responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol are "ridiculous."

And Christie, who's making his second White House bid after unsuccessfully running in the 2016 cycle, said he's going to target Trump at next month's first Republican presidential nomination debate whether "he’s on the stage or he’s not on the stage."

Scott, a rising star in the GOP and the only Black Republican in the Senate, has seen his poll numbers edge up in the latest surveys in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that hold the first two contests in the GOP presidential nominating calendar. That's led some super PACs supporting rival candidates to start placing a bullseye on the senator's back.
