Christie: The Civil War Was A Choice Between Right And Wrong

In June, I made the decision to enter this race for one simple reason - to speak the unfiltered truth. In a time when our country is in desperate need of honesty, I believe that telling the truth, without any spin or interpretation, is the most crucial thing. However, speaking the truth is not always easy. It can be uncomfortable, it can offend people, and it can even lead to backlash. But as I see it, that's what being a leader is all about - having the courage to confront difficult truths, regardless of the consequences.

Bursting the Bubble of Deception

In this race, I've been committed to fairness and integrity. When one of my opponents attacked a colleague's intelligence, I didn't hesitate to stand up and defend her. This is not just about politics, it's about basic human decency. It's about standing against falsehoods and standing up for what's right.

The Unwavering Pursuit of Honesty

But let's talk about the elephant in the room - the unwillingness to offend. It's become all too common for politicians to avoid speaking the truth in fear of offending someone. But the truth is not always pleasant, and it's not always convenient. The refusal to address difficult issues in our country has only allowed our problems to grow worse. We need leaders who are unafraid to address the tough issues, leaders who are willing to speak the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

The Call for Courage and Integrity

As I stand before you, I urge you to consider what kind of leadership our country truly deserves. It deserves strength, honesty, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. It deserves leaders who are unafraid to take on difficult challenges, leaders who are ready to stand up against injustice, no matter the cost. This is the kind of leadership that I am committed to bringing to the table, and I believe that this is what our country needs now more than ever.
