In his first TV interview since contracting Covid-19 earlier this month, Chris Christie said it isn't enough for Trump to merely express approval of masks
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, newly recovered from the coronavirus, urged President Donald Trump on Friday to encourage the wearing of face masks among Americans.
In his first TV interview since contracting Covid-19 earlier this month, Christie — a close ally of the White House who served as the president’s debate coach last month — said it was not enough for Trump to merely express approval of masks, as he did at a town hall event the previous evening.“You know, I heard the president say last night that he has no problem with masks. I think we should be even more affirmative about it.
Christie attended a Rose Garden ceremony on Sept. 26 for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett that was accompanied by indoor receptions and has since beenas a “superspreader event” by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert. The former governor was seen hugging guests without a mask at that event, and he has said that he did not wear a mask during Trump’s several preparation sessions for the first presidential debate on Sept. 29.
