Obama mocked GOP New Jersey gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli for attending a 'Stop the Steal'
Former President Barack Obama on Saturday poked at New Jersey Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli for attending a rally to overturn the 2020 presidential election results last year and said that the former state lawmaker won't be "a champion of democracy."
Obama mocked Ciattarelli in Newark as he stumped for Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who is running for reelection to a second term in the Garden State. It was the former president's second campaign appearance of the day after his visit to Virginia to campaign for former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who's seeking a second nonconsecutive term in office.
The former president made light of Ciattarelli's acknowledgment during a recent gubernatorial debate that he went to a November 2020 pro-Trump rally in Bedminster, New Jersey, which is also the home of the ex-Republican president's golf club.
"Apparently Phil's opponent says he didn't know it was a rally to overturn the results of the last election," Obama said at the weekend rally. "He didn't know it? Come on!"
