In an interview on Fox News Channel&#8217;s Media Buzz, Christie hit back at Trump, saying, &#8220;What? Like he&#8217;s some Adonis? Please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;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&#8217;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&#8217;t know what his point is,&#8221; Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Christie didn&#8217;t stop there. He compared Trump to a schoolyard bully, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s a bully on the schoolyard who teases you and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-rick-scott-makes-fundraising-stop-in-iowa\/\" title=\"Sen.

But here&#8217;s my message to him, I don&#8217;t care what he says about me, and I don&#8217;t care what he thinks about me, and he should take a look in the mirror every once in a while, maybe he&#8217;d drop the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-mocks-trumps-physique-after-former-presidents-weight-dig\/\" title=\"Chris Christie taunts Trump over his body after ex-president's weight insult.\">weight thing<\/a> off his list of criticisms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since entering the Republican primary, Christie has been a vocal critic of Trump. Trump, in turn, has called Christie someone with &#8220;a lot of hatred&#8221; and claimed he &#8220;never trusted&#8221; him.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s unwillingness &#8220;to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made.&#8221; However, Christie stood his ground, stating, &#8220;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,&#8221; earning applause from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Trump leads the GOP presidential field, with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in second place, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
