Chris Christie dismisses UFO question at Republican debate.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s Reaction to UFO Question
During Fox News’s first Republican presidential primary debate, the moderators posed a lightning round of questions on various topics. However, one question stood out from the rest – it was about unidentified flying objects (UFOs). And it didn’t sit well with Chris Christie.
“I get the UFO question?” Christie exclaimed, clearly amused by the unexpected topic.
But despite his initial reaction, moderator Martha MacCallum pressed on, causing laughter to fill the room.
“We’ve been hearing a lot of testimony in Congress, and people are taking this a lot more seriously. If you were president … would you level with the American people about what the government knows about these possible encounters?” MacCallum asked.
Christie couldn’t help but respond with a touch of humor, still finding the question amusing.
“I think it’s horrible that just [because] I’m from New Jersey, you asked me about unidentified flying objects and Martians,” Christie chuckled.
However, despite his initial displeasure, Christie proceeded to provide an answer.
“The job of the president of the United States is to level with the American people about everything. The job of the president of the United States is to stand for truth, the job of the president of the United States is to be a role model for our children and our grandchildren,” he stated, before shifting the focus to the issue of education.
Christie’s reaction resonated with other commentators who also found the UFO question out of place.
“This is a dumb subject for a presidential debate (ufos),” journalist Megyn Kelly posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
