According to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, &#8220;to say that he misunderstood the moment would be an understatement. The president is watching, and you&#8217;d hope before he comes down there, the awful scenes from the shooting and the reactions of family members and friends of people in that school. And to be coming down, joking about the fact that he\u2019s Jill Biden\u2019s husband and looking for chocolate chip ice cream is hardly the way to start it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie also criticized Biden for \u201cplaying politics\u201d in a situation where parents and students across the country are still dealing with the impact of the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting took place at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, resulting in the deaths of three students and three adults. The shooter was also shot and killed by law enforcement who responded to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>For free breaking news alerts, subscribe to OAN using this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/alerts\" target=\"_blank\">link.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>with Phil Bicocchi<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>with Keelin Darby<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>with Kari Lake<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>with Joe Kent<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Hyunsu Yim SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean social media giant Kakao\u2019s stake in K-pop agency SM Entertainment has reached 40%, the target\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>BEIJING (Reuters) -China\u2019s cyberspace regulator vowed on Tuesday to clamp down on malicious online comments that damage the reputation of businesses and\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Nick Carey LONDON (Reuters) \u2013 Oxbotica and Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google Cloud said on Tuesday they are partnering up to speed up\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Makiko Yamazaki, Mariko Katsumura and Ritsuko Shimizu TOKYO (Reuters) \u2013 The Japanese construction company targeted for takeover by the family office\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Photo by SAUL LOEB\/AFP via Getty Images) OAN Roy Francis8:43 AM \u2013 Tuesday, March 28, 2023 President Joe Biden faced criticism yesterday for his remarks after the Nashville school shooting, in which he joked that he only made his appearance because there was going to be ice cream.
