Because it’s irrelevant. The point is that 6 candidates raised their hands. Which not only includes those leading in the polls behind Trump but also Mike Pence himself!
What is being comunicated in the image is that every republican nominee says they will support Trump. That is simply a lie; and the image was cropped specifically to make that lie.
The cropping is not accurate to the question asked at the debate, but every candidate there signed a pledge to back whoever wins the GOP primary, and right now that includes Trump as an option.
So for Hutchinson and Christie, the only way this image is not an accurate representation of their stances (if not how they answered the question on stage) is if we assume that they were lying when signing the “loyalty pledge” document that was a requirement for even being on the stage at all.
Christie in particular opposed Trump in the 2016 election…all the way until Trump got the nomination, at which point Christie became an ardent Trump supporter. I think it’s reasonable to assume this is a repeat of that track record on his part.
You’re making an assumption. I’m the one who made this image and I did not crop it specifically to “make that lie.” I cropped it to show the six people that were holding their hands up.
You may not like it to hear it, but the image you created is not good and message is misleading. We can all count people on our own without you cutting them out for us. Why exclude context? It makes no sense and doesn’t do anyone favors.
All I said was “it’s just a meme”. I’m not mad at you or anyone else for any criticism. I do think some are taking it a little to serious but I’m certainly not upset about it. I’m actually pretty pleased with the response this has received. This popped into my head on my way to work this morning, I made it in Photoshop in about 2 minutes and posted it and now it has over 500 upvotes and made the front page. What’s there to be upset about?
If someone is coming to a political meme community looking for accurate information, let’s all be good stewards and direct them to actual reputable news sources.

Christie caught Covid from Trump while helping him prep for a presidential debate against Biden. LOL
What they say is worthless. Even Christie will vote for trump if he’s the nominee. 100%

You’re entitled to your opinion. I will however point out that… it’s just a meme.
A misleading meme is still misleading.

Thanks for unwittingly continuing the spreading of misinformation on the Internet. It sucks here more because of situations like this.
