Chris Christie Blames Trump's Rhetoric for Rise in Antisemitism and Intolerance

The 2024 GOP Presidential Candidate Criticizes University Leaders for Their Response to Hate Crimes on Campuses

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has blamed Donald Trump's rhetoric for enabling antisemitism and intolerance in the US.
Christie, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, stated that Trump's intolerance towards everyone gives others permission to act the same.
Christie also criticized university leaders for their responses to antisemitism on campuses, citing a rise in reports of violence and threats against Jewish students.
Antisemitism and Islamophobia have been on the rise in the US, with the Anti-Defamation League documenting a 388% increase in antisemitic incidents following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
Christie has positioned himself as a major contender for the 2024 GOP nomination, alongside Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley.
