Chris Christie (R) took aim at CNN on Sunday, saying that the network “was wrong” for cutting a deal with former President Trump to agree to what turned out to be a raucous town hall and that it “went in the tank” to get the GOP frontrunner on board. “Those were all people who in the main 80 percent or so were Trump supporters. So, that was a negotiation deal that Trump did with CNN and I think CNN was wrong for doing it.”Christie added that he recognized some faces in the crowd as Trump supporters based on time he spent in New Hampshire where the town hall took place. More than 3 million people tuned in to the town hall, but CNN has faced a wave of criticism in the wake of the the event. Some of CNN’s own talent also criticized the decision to give Trump a large platform in the town hall format, which made it difficult to fact check his responses.
