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.

    Got a friend from NJ. The vitriol she spews at this guy…

    What’s that say about the republican party if the most rational sounding presidential candidate is this piece of shit?

      I’m amazed Christie can be as popular as he is even.

      He was really well-liked in his first term as NJ governor, but the shit he did in the last year or two is stuff so stupid and assholish we all assumed it meant he felt that he was never going to be in politics again.

      Christie usually thinks before speaking about how his words will impact him, but otherwise he’s no different than Trump. If he thought he could get away with it he would do anything Trump would.
