Three years after urging Chris Christie to run for president, former New York Gov. George Pataki is now taking him to task for turning his back on the Republican candidate who is trying to unseat Gov. Cuomo.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily News, Pataki said he was dumbfounded that Christie, New Jersey’s GOP governor who also heads the Republican Governors Association, said last month he won’t help Rob Astorino’s campaign in New York because his organization doesn’t “invest in lost causes.”

“To me, it’s incomprehensible and disappointing,” said Pataki, a Republican who served three terms as New York governor.

“The RGA is a very important organization,” he said, noting that Christie’s responsibility as the group’s head is to help elect Republican governors across the nation. “At the very least, you don’t want them denigrating his efforts.”

Christie knows what Cuomo knows re the Port Authority - SMCA is way more important than any RGA
