2024 GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie suffered a meltdown when Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer praised former President Donald Trump
During an interview on “America’s Newsroom,” Fox host Hemmer noted Trump is “crushing it” in the polls, leading him to ask if voters actually want a Trump critic like Chris Christie in the Republican primary.
Christie, a “Trump critic,” did not handle this well.
After trying to shrug off Trump, Christie turned his attention to President Joe Biden, which led to Hemmer bringing up the border,
Then Hemmer noted that Trump’s policies “did much better on everything you just mentioned.”
Christie couldn’t handle it.
“Wait a second, Bill. His policies did not do better at the border. Not true,” Christie retorted.
“Remember what he promised in 2016? He was going to build a wall across the entire border in the first four years, and Mexico was going to pay for it. We got a wall that’s about a quarter of the way done, and Mexico hasn’t given us one peso yet.” he said.
“So Donald Trump in 2016 was the guy who had no record, so he couldn’t be examined in a very specific way. He now said he was going to do that with immigration. And by the way, he had Congress for the first two years fully controlled by the Republicans. Not one change in the immigration laws,” Christie added,
“You can go down to the border today and see piles of steel that are just laying there in the Arizona desert,” Hemmer said.
“Those piles of steel have been sitting there since Donald Trump was president,” Christie shot back.
“He didn’t get it done. He couldn’t convince a Republican Congress to fund the wall. He couldn’t finish it, and he didn’t change one immigration law.”
Watch
Christie drew some headlines last week when he appeared to take a cheap shot at Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
“The gift from this family is breathtaking. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Kushner walk out of the White House, and months later get $2 billion from the Saudis,” he said before criticizing Kushner’s role in Trump’s White House.
“You think it’s because he’s some kind of investing genius? Or do you think it’s because he was sitting next to the president of the United States for four years doing favors for the Saudis? That’s your money. That’s the money he stole and gave to his family. Do you know what that makes us? A banana republic,” he said.
Trump lost about $1 billion in personal wealth during his presidency and never took a salary. Instead, he donated his salary to various government agencies.
Former President Trump responded on his Truth Social platform:
“How many times did Chris Christie use the word SMALL? Does he have a psychological problem with SIZE? Actually, his speech was SMALL and not very good. It rambled all over the place, and nobody had a clue of what he was talking about. Hard to watch and boring, but that’s what you get from a failed Governor (New Jersey) who left office with a 7% approval rating and then got run out of New Hampshire. This time, it won’t be any different!”

Wow, another advantage of not watching Fox. We didn’t have to listen to this guy. Win, win.
The only time Chris Christie isn’t lying is when he’s not talking.
Or when he’s stuffing his mouth!
Or consuming large quantities of Donuts!!
Fatso Christie is just another RINO moron. I am a die hard conservative and Trump supporter but it the choice was between chunky Christie and Robert Kennedy Jr., I would vote for Kennedy but I won’t have to make that choice because Christie hasn’t a chance.
Chris christie, a ridiculous waste of time. 👎
Christie is in it for 2 reasons. Spend off some dirty unaccountable cash & to denigrate Trump nightly on fake news shoes. He’s kinda like a court jester
Look at this junky Faux News trying to pretend to be conservative, to keep their viewers. Christie’s performance helped the charade.
Christie is a liar, the border was effectively sealed. No one ever said the wall would cover the entire border. The people who blocked the wall funding, the RINOs, did the same thing Christie would have done.
So fat boy spent 2 minutes talking about himself then badmouthed President Trump for talking about his accomplishments.
Just give him a dozen jelly donuts and he’ll go away.
ESAD, you fat pig.
Yes, eat 💩 & expired 😭😔😭
Right on the mark.
so where was the meltdown?!?
I never listen to his royal Fatness the guy couldn’t run New Jersey he was a crook then and he is a crook now .I will not vote for this fool I will vote for Kennedy if they run the Fat Man
Pathetic blow hard. Republican house and senate? It was RINO McStain that turned thumbs down on repealing Obamacare. It was Ryan that refused to budget for building the wall. Trump went around him and found money in discretionary accounts. Who was tougher on China fat boy? Did we have energy independence? Gas at $1.85 a gallon? Record employment for blacks? No wars? Middle East peace accords?
Why give that moron a platform?
Christie is the one who pushed for Wray to fead FBI….Christie is a disloyal deep-stater, and he is going to wear this throughout his campaign.
Oh, Jabba the Chris is not happy! He might as well stop now and go to a weight loss clinic. He will never be president. He is just in it for the campaign cash. Look at Bernie Sanders and his bevy of homes he got by ‘campaigning’.
Chris Christie is like the Rob Reiner of the GOP, just incessantly spouting babble.
Gee, you don’t think Christie is suffering a huge case of sour grapes because he didn’t get a position he wanted in President Trumps administration do you. I think President Trump saw right through the phony who is Chris Christie and dealt with it accordingly. One thing you can be sure of, Chris Christie is a Democrat with a Republican moniker!
The only time Christie isn’t lying or exposing his corruption is when he’s stuffing his fat face with hot dogs.
Fat and Sloppy will never a president make my dude.
