A lot of liberals, along with the relatively few anti-Trump conservatives who remain, truly believe that none of what Christie is doing is sincere. Rather, they think that his criticisms of Trump are purely self-serving. Here's an article that echoes this sentiment:

I'm really not sure if Christie is genuine when he criticizes Trump, but I do think that Christie was one of the few individuals in Trump's orbit who cares about other people. To be honest, Christie's prior sycophancy towards Trump surprised me, since Christie (at least during his first term as governor) fashioned himself as somebody who could well work with Democrats, including President Obama; that's such a huge contrast to how Trump was the birther-in-chief and to how Trump was completely unable to work with Democrats when he was president. IMO, having somebody with Christie's intellectual heft challenge Trump in a presidential primary is a good thing, since there are so few other Republicans even willing to go as far as Christie. (Out of all the Republicans who may run for president, the only ones who have gone further than Christie are Larry Hogan and Liz Cheney. But both of these individuals face even greater odds of getting the nomination. And in the case of Hogan, he is not nearly as well known as Christie.)

Christie has a book to sell. That's the end of it. Plus he's a non starter and coward who has already said that he'd vote for Trump if he were the nominee again. Funny he talks about how Biden is ruining the country but nothing about the 4 years of Trump and it was 4 years not just the last 2 months. And of course can't name anything Biden is doing to ruin the country. It must be that terrible infrastructure deal he got done that no GOPer has touched since Eisenhower.

Christie is no better than Rahm Emmanuel who left office with an 18% approval rating. He'd never get elected for another office which is why he was handed a cushy ambassadorship he didn't deserve either.

Wallace caught Christie in an entire network he missed in his book and what Fox is doing. NOT ONE MENTION but he had time for CNN, MSNBC, the NY TImes, and Post to lambast at.

He's not interested in reform just exploiting what's been there for years and what Trump exploited. A failing phony.
