To not trust government. AFTER Christie talked, he had Tom Fried, who had spoken earlier, come back on and emphasize essential points. That is what made the difference.

One woman in the group said she didn't want to hear from government officials, she wanted facts - but she was among those who disliked and disbelieved Dr. Fauci. I was thinking that group of anti-science RepuQs only wanted to hear what already fits into the delusional mind set they developed by listening to Frank Luntz. They wouldn't know a fact if it bit them on the ass.
