If @ABC is still paying @ChrisChristie to be a contributor/commentator, it needs to stop it now.
Christie at White House right now at yet another taxpayer-paid political event, where Trump is making a number of false statements, providing no evidence whatsoever of his claims.
And news reporters shouldn't be participating in these types of taxpayer-paid political events at the White House, where they sit quietly by as Trump makes a number of false statements, providing no evidence whatsoever to back up his claims.
This is not a news conference. It is a taxpayer-paid political event, where Trump is using the public airwaves/news publications to spread false/misleading information.
Why are news reporters participating in these taxpayer-paid political events?
Trump has no comprehensive health care plan. His Sept. 24 outlines/proposals do nothing to protect Americans' health care coverage or lower #drugprices. So how can Trump claim now again [for four years running] whatever he comes up with will be cheaper than #Obamacare/ #ACA?
News reporters who sit silently by while Trump makes false claims & fail to demand evidence are simply participating in & enabling his taxpayer-paid political events.
News reporters need to get up & leave when it's clear it's not a news conference but a taxpayer-paid political event, where Trump is repeatedly making false claims & providing no evidence whatsoever & where he's again using the event to bash his opponent & the press.
Leave!

"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."
.@VP@KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.
.@VP@KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.
The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.
