Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was booed while walking on stage at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit event on Saturday.
“Now look, every one of those boos, everyone one of those cat calls, everyone one of those yells will not … solve one problem we face in this country,” Christie said. “Your anger against the truth is reprehensible.”
Between jeers, the former New Jersey governor tried to tell the crowd of Trump supporters that their energy is better spent elsewhere.

Between jeers, the former New Jersey governor tried to tell the crowd of Trump supporters that their energy is better spent elsewhere.
“When you think about the problems that our country and this world is facing, when you think about that, this type of pettiness … is beneath … the process of electing a president,” he said.
“That’s what we should spend our time talking about, and that’s the place where I suggest some of our anger should be directed,” Christie said about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Christie echoed a similar sentiment to his speech in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with a donation link.
Former President Trump headlined the event in Kissimmee, Fla. Christie and the other GOP candidates, including former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, North Dakota Gov.
The candidates will return to Florida on Wednesday, where they will participate in the third GOP primary debate in Miami.
