$\"NewsHub\"$ New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday criticized the rollout of President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order barring travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, saying he believes Mr. Trump is right \u201con the substance\u201d but that it \u201cshould have been done better.\u201d
\u201cI think anyone who looks at this knows it could have been and should have been done better,\u201d he told CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d
He argued that the reason Mr. Trump\u2019s critics have been so successful is not because he\u2019s wrong \u201con the substance,\u201d but because the order wasn\u2019t rolled out properly.
\u201cThe reason his opponents are able to attack him — and I believe unfairly — on the substance is because it was implemented in such a haphazard way in that first weekend,\u201d he said.
Still, Christie said he believes the Seattle-based federal judge who halted the executive order is \u201cwrong on this one,\u201d and that the actual text of the order is \u201cmuch, much better\u201d than Mr. Trump\u2019s original proposal for a Muslim ban back in late 2015.
\u201cI would make it even more tailored if I were advising the president on this directly,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the president has moved an incredible distance from a Muslim ban to where he is now \u2026 the policy is much, much better than where the president began during the campaign.\u201d
He said he knows Mr. Trump\u2019s \u201cheart,\u201d and that Mr. Trump has \u201cabsolutely no — no hate in his heart for Muslim Americans.\u201d
\u201cThis is what happens when things are not explained the right way from the beginning and are not implemented in a way that respects the process and is very careful about it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I said earlier in the week that the president was not well-served by this. Now this means that he has to go out and the administration needs to go out and make his point of view clear.\u201d<\/p>\n
