Chris Christie taunts Trump over his body after ex-president’s weight insult.
Chris Christie Fires Back at Donald Trump’s Weight Jabs
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie didn’t hold back when responding to Donald Trump’s recent comments about his weight. In an interview on Fox News Channel’s Media Buzz, Christie hit back at Trump, saying, “What? Like he’s some Adonis? Please.”
“There are tens of millions of Americans who, like me, struggle with my weight. I continue to struggle, I continue to try to do better and so do they, and what’s that got to do with my competence for office? I ran the governorship in New Jersey for eight years, I think, in an energetic, successful way, responded to Hurricane Sandy working 20 hours a day for weeks. I don’t know what his point is,” Christie said.
Christie didn’t stop there. He compared Trump to a schoolyard bully, saying, “It’s a bully on the schoolyard who teases you and makes fun of you. But here’s my message to him, I don’t care what he says about me, and I don’t care what he thinks about me, and he should take a look in the mirror every once in a while, maybe he’d drop the weight thing off his list of criticisms.”
Since entering the Republican primary, Christie has been a vocal critic of Trump. Trump, in turn, has called Christie someone with “a lot of hatred” and claimed he “never trusted” him.
During a speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C., Christie received some boos from the crowd for calling out Trump’s unwillingness “to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made.” However, Christie stood his ground, stating, “Our faith teaches us that people have to take responsibility for what they do. People have to stand up and take accountability for what they do,” earning applause from the audience.
Currently, Trump leads the GOP presidential field, with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in second place, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. Christie is currently in a distant sixth place.
