SEE IT: ABC's David Muir shuts down Chris Christie tying 2000 election to 2020

ABC information anchor David Muir clashed with former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) after he tied the 2000 election to former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election outcomes.

The change occurred on Tuesday when Muir famous that Republicans are working campaigns on claims of a "defective election" and the Texas GOP rejecting President Joe Biden's victory in 2020.

Christie made the case that there's a "disturbing pattern and sample that is been rising in depth from 2000 to 2016 to now to 2020."

Muir stated he understood what Chris was saying, however harassed: "I simply don't desire our viewers to suppose that I am not conscious that there is not an actual equivalency right here when you will have a former president right here who's sowing the seeds out doubt on this explicit election that we're taking a look at."

Earlier than Muir moved on with the section, Christie, who's a contributor for ABC News, argued "this goes all the best way again to 2000," when George W. Bush received the presidential election over then-Vice President Al Gore when the Democrat conceded following weeks of authorized battles over recount efforts in Florida.

He stated supporters of Gore refused to just accept Bush because the reliable president even after Gore conceded and oversaw the certification of his rival's win. He then introduced up Hillary Clinton, after her 2016 election loss to Trump, casting doubt on the legitimacy of that contest's outcomes.

"It is a very harmful factor on this nation," Christie stated, including that it "dropped at a brand new stage in 2020 by Donald Trump and his marketing campaign."
