In a witty retort, Chris Christie responded to Donald Trump’s remarks about his weight by saying, “He should take a look in the mirror.” During an interview on Fox’s MediaBuzz, host Howard Kurtz brought up the Trump jabs, as reported by Politico. (When Christie announced his campaign, Trump mocked him about his size on Truth Social and shared a video edited to make it seem like Christie was at a buffet for his campaign launch.) Christie told Kurtz, “Oh, like he’s some Adonis? 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.”
Unlike most of the other GOP candidates for the 2024 presidential race, Christie has centered his campaign around attacking Trump’s character. However, he faced the consequences of that approach when he was loudly booed during a speech at the conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition, according to USA Today. “You can boo all you want,” Christie said defiantly to the evangelical crowd, acknowledging that Republicans will eventually have to address the issue of Trump’s character. The former governor firmly stated, “He has let us down.”
After the incident, Christie expressed no surprise at the boos. “That is predominantly a Trump crowd,” he explained during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, as reported by Politico. However, he believes it’s important for them to hear the truth as well. Christie confidently stated that he is seeing evidence that his anti-Trump message is resonating with Republican voters, noting that he has already secured third place in New Hampshire within just three weeks of entering the race. He is only four points behind Ron DeSantis, who has been campaigning for a longer time and is considered a co-front-runner. Nevertheless, Trump remains the clear front-runner and his lead has strengthened even further since his recent indictment. (Read more Chris Christie 2024 stories.)
