This is kind of awesome in a pathetic and funny way. Worse still, every time I write about him you guys make me hungry for donuts. However, that said, and because laughing is a key ingredient to living our best life, if you can get past the Laura Ingraham lip treatment aspect, Chris Christie sounds desperate.
Appearing on Face the Nation, a newly lip enhanced Christie swears he still has a chance. WATCH:
Look, let’s be honest. If the gastric band didn’t work, there’s only so much Sununu and the cosmetics can do. The demons inside are beginning to manifest.
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to the former Governor of New Jersey and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie, good to have you back on the program. We know, sir, the RNC is supposed to announce tomorrow who will be on that December 6 debate stage. Has the RNC told you you’ve qualified to be there and if you haven’t, will you drop out?
2024 GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CHRIS CHRISTIE: I don’t think they’ve told anybody yet who all of us are going to be on the stage, but I’m confident, Margaret, that I will be there and that we have all the qualifications necessary to get there.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Because, you told CNN over Thanksgiving, you will stay in the race through the Convention, which would put you into the summer months. Does the field need to consolidate to beat Donald Trump, which you say is one of your prime motivations in running.
CHRISTIE: Look, this field has already consolidated more than any non-incumbent field in this century Margaret. Back this time, eight years ago, we had 13 candidates still in the race. At this time back, you know, in 2011, we had eight candidates in the race. At this time back in 2007, we had nine candidates in the race and so this field is consolidated significantly, and I suspect it will consolidate more after folks vote in Iowa and New Hampshire.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But, isn’t it a little bit different that you have the 45th President of the United states running, a known entity who has this automatic platform. It’s just a different model. It’s a different case.
CHRISTIE: Yeah, the other thing that makes it different, Margaret, is he’s got 91 counts of indictment against him. The day before Super Tuesday, he’s going to start a criminal trial, where his former chief of staff and one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus is going to testify that he committed crimes on his watch and was directed to commit crimes by Donald Trump. There’s a lot of things different about this and that’s why anybody tried to predict this is just shooting in the dark.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But why don’t- why hasn’t that turned off the GOP electorate? When you look at CBS polling, and others, he is leading, as you know. And then I mean, you’ve made clear when some of the other competitors are using really harsh rhetoric that you think that should disqualify them. Why hasn’t that extreme rhetoric turned the GOP off of these other candidates either?
CHRIS CHRISTIE: Well, look, I- first off, I don’t think you know exactly what’s going to happen at all until people vote. Look, if we listen to all the polling, Margaret, Hillary Clinton would be in her second term. So I don’t believe that polling is nearly as reliable as it used to be and I don’t believe that people tell the truth to pollsters. And so at the end of the day, everybody who’s trying to make these decisions now is just wrong. Let’s remember something, in this- in the Republican primary in ’07, do you know who was winning at this time in ’07? Mitt Romney. You know who was winning at this time in ’11? Newt Gingrich. And winning this time and ’15 was Ben Carson. I don’t remember any of those presidencies, Margaret. So you know, my view, we can’t worry about that kind of stuff. What we need to worry about is the direction this country is going in, and most people don’t agree with it. And if you don’t agree with the direction of the country, why would you vote for either Trump or Biden, who have put us in this direction?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, I have a lot more to talk to you about including on the issues and the things that we know from our own polling voters want to hear from candidates like you. So I’m going to ask you to stick with us because I do have to take a commercial break and we’ll have more questions on the other side of it.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face The Nation. We have more now from former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, candidate for the Republican nomination. Sir, I want to pick up where we left off. You know, we hear from political pundits all the time, oh, Americans just don’t care about national security when it comes to how they vote, but you are the only candidate who has gone to both Israel and Ukraine during this campaign, at least only one still standing. Why was it important for you to go?
CHRISTIE: So, I think if you want to be President of the United States, you have to see these things for yourself. You can’t count on reports from pundits or the press, or from other folks in public life. You’ve got to see it for yourself and I will tell you, when I went to Israel, Margaret, just a couple of weeks ago, the inhumanity I saw that Hamas rained upon the Jewish people in Israel, I went into one home of a 24-year-old couple recently married, both were murdered in their small three-room home. And there were 140 bullet holes in the walls to kill two people, Margaret, it’s not just the inhumanity that Hamas executes, it’s the joy they take in that inhumanity. And that’s why Israel has to do what they need to do to eliminate that military threat. And I think I would not have completely understood it, and couldn’t be an effective president if I didn’t see it for myself.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We’ll see if some of the other candidates go, one of the things that I also want to pick up on that we see voters responding to thus far is abortion. You know, it’s been a galvanizing issue in favor of Democrats. We’ve seen that a few times now. Are you concerned that in a head-to-head that that will help to buoy the President himself as he runs for reelection? And how does a Republican candidate like yourself, take the issue to the national stage when the message for decades has been it’s a state issue?
CHRISTIE: Look, Margaret, I’ve been consistent on this. I believe the conservative smart approach is to let the states make these decisions and that’s what I think they should do. And that’s why I said, I wouldn’t sign a six-week national abortion ban as Governor DeSantis and now just recently in Iowa, Governor Haley has said she would sign a six week ban. I don’t think you can say one thing in one place and something else in another, you need to be consistent. For 50 years, Republicans have argued that the Supreme Court took this decision away from the people. I think this belongs in the hands of the people of each individual state, we see a great democratic, small d, event going on right now across the country, in places like Michigan and Kansas, in Ohio, where people are voting, but let’s let the American people vote in their individual states, and decide what they want this policy to be.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So better for the party not to have a national policy, essentially, is what you’re saying.
CHRISTIE: I believe that’s- I believe that’s true. I believe that’s what the Constitution guides us to do. And that’s where we should stay and that’s where I’ve been. And I’m concerned, quite frankly, Margaret, that, you know, candidates in this race have been all over the block on this. And it’s not right, people deserve to have a straight answer from you and that’s my straight answer.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, also, giving a fairly straight assessment is Liz Cheney, the former Congresswoman who just did an interview with my colleague, John Dickerson, and told him, ‘the United States is sleepwalking into a dictatorship.’ Bob Kagan, writer in the New York- in the Washington Post had an op ed saying, ‘after Super Tuesday in March, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and what happens there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic in his favor,’ saying all Republican critics, perhaps even yourself will fall silent out of self preservation. Is that how you see your party behaving after March?
CHRISTIE: Look, I can’t speak for everyone in my party, I can only speak for myself, Margaret. And anybody who knows me knows I will not be silent. I haven’t been silent since the day I got into this race. And in fact, unlike others, you know, Nikki Haley says he was the right president for the right time and that for some reason, you know, drama and chaos seem to follow him. The reason is that he acts like someone who doesn’t care about our democracy acts like someone who wants to be a dictator. He acts like someone who doesn’t care for the Constitution. In fact, he’s even said himself he’d be willing to suspend the Constitution if an election wasn’t going in his direction. Margaret, I was the only one on that stage going back to August, when I- when we were asked would you support someone who, you know, was convicted of a felony for President of the United States? Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, they all raised their hands. I did not and I think I’ve made it very very clear how I feel about this and if folks want to return to some decency and civility why would you ever vote for Donald Trump.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Chris Christie, we’ll watch. Thanks for your time, we’ll be right back.
At the ending of the Article
Chris Christie says :
“….. and if folks want to return to some decency and civility why would you ever vote for Donald Trump .”
Well , I burst out laughing and then saw my Fave picture of Melania and President Trump laughing and I laughed even more 😄
Most Excellent Ending Photo for Your Article , Sundance 💐 Thank You So Much 😊
IMESHO, the only “value” of a SeeBS interview between margie and christie to hear the pathetic positions within the MSM and the leftout Leftists. I appreciate the reporting by CTH so that I don’t have to listen to that lunacy.
AGREED! Great picture of Mr. President and his wonderful, intelligent, and dignified wife.
Luca Brasi here has no votes to lose or protect, so he can insult 70% of all voting Americans by saying stupid things like this. Like the real Luca Brasi, he is paid well to inflict as much damage as he can.
He is like all fat obsese slobs ,they live in self delusion. Leftist Brennan, of, course, NEVER challenged him on anything. As long as he is filled with his hateful addition of Trump, he is good to go. Christie doesn’t even have the humility to even see how the left CNN, MSNBC, NBC who do lying news for years, to bolster Biden and depravement, are just using him and laughing at him behind his fat back.
97 indictments against President Trump…….Oh no!
Ranks right up there with Pelosi’s, “It’s the seriousness of the charge.”
Frankly I wonder they haven’t twisted the logic enough to charge President Trump with murder.
Is 97 indictments enough? I mean really, shouldn’t there be 200 by now?
Christie did not qualify to be on the Maine primary ballot so he is only there to attack President Trump. He is not a viable candidate Push him off the GW bridge.
🐽 Ew-wwwwwwww…🐽
He had an 8% approval rating when he left the NJ Governorship. He can’t be running for President to win.
Fatman too fat to “run” for anything. No, he’s currently waddling for the Presidency.
The only record this TOL (Tub of Lard) ever set was that he was the 1st person to GAIN weight following gastric bypass.
Instead of having him in a debate, they should feature the FB (Fat Bastard) in an all-you-can-eat contest. How ’bout Jersey Mike’s subs @ 30 paces vs Mike Pence?
You know…..he will obviously sink!
Actually, fat people float.
Yes, but…Turds usually sink?
big enough to float if he holds his breath.
But the ensuing tidal wave could endanger thousands of people…
If they did push him off the GW bridge, there’d be a tsunami of epic proportions.
More like push Humpty Dumpty off the wall so he’ll have a great fall.
Entire lower buroughs would be flooded, sir. Think of the innocents.
Christie is in it for the free food and money.
He knows he doesn’t have a shot.
I follow Jacob Dreizin, who has a fairly good insight to some of this. His opinion is that the criminal trials will continue to be postponed, as their intent was really never to put Trump in prison, but to reduce his following. He predicts that the one trial that will go ahead is the one in NY, as this trial is specifically geared to attempting to ruin Trump financially. Interesting take.
That is as good a take as any.
Chris isn’t desperate, He’s just hungry.
lol!
In his case it’s likely the same.
His lips literally look like they had to be pried off of the ass of his donors! I couldn’t even pay attention to what he was saying, I was too distracted by the comic book look. What goes through these people’s heads?
Air. Air goes through their heads. And sometimes that is even impossible because their heads are usually full of crap.
Tucker described them as “the stupidest people”., something has to change.
Double spanxxed Margaret Brennan is randy in red.
I hope Chris Christie didn’t have trouble concentrating on his words.
😄
Christie-cream looks like crap and doesn’t sound good. He almost looks purple-ish.
I predict he has a heart attack before the primary is over.
He looks ill.
Good!!!!
Chris Christie is doing a Biden. Biden sat in his basement playing video games and didn’t bother to campaign heavily. He stood before the American people proclaiming they didn’t have to vote for him to win. His people did a side step and explained it away. Biden wanted to shame President Trump by proving he was so popular, he didn’t need to do anything to win. Seems Christie has that same mentality.
… “but it is wafer thin”
don’t watch unless you know where this goes (or have a strong stomach and don’t object to expletives ) 😲
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxFtvJIjZrclqg8i2T9m-Ic7y0l557EsHj?si=QK1tXZoND3wR8JzI
The media only has him on because they think he can hurt Trump with his never Trump rhetoric.
“CHRISTIE: Look, I can’t speak for everyone in my party, I can only speak for myself, Margaret. And anybody who knows me knows I will not be silent.”
Lies, lies, lies. He only speaks for others. He has no thoughts of his own. Kris Krispie lies.
This looks like he is losing weight and losing his mind
Interesting. How does he know what hthe Presidents former COS will testify? Crispy Cream even admits anybody trying to predict that is shooting in the dark. But Crispy is sure about that specific testimony.
Sounds like someone is in loop with the prosecution 🤔
‘…his former chief of staff and one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus is going to testify that he committed crimes on his watch and was directed to commit crimes by Donald Trump. There’s a lot of things different about this and that’s why anybody tried to predict this is just shooting in the dark.”
This was all a set-up from the get go.
They named the COS in the Georgia case because he made a phone call to Pennsylvania to get a phone # for Pres. Trump. If Christy Cream knows what Mark Meadow’s testimony is, he must be helping SC Jack Smith “get Trump” &/or Letitia James, the Georgia D
AG & Braggs. I smell another George Soros recipient.
Chrissy Creme didn’t make the requirements for the primary ballot in Maine.
He only needed 2000 signatures?
What a loser!
Flat out awful interview by Brennan.
Why didn’t she ask Christie if he gave legal credibility to all these democrats indicting Trump?
Force Christie to say he has 100% confidence in Jack The Ripper Smith, Judge Enron in Manhattan, Judge Munchkin in DC, Fanny Willis, LaTeets James in Manhattan.. Force him to say they’re above board, honest, leaving their partisanship at the door.
She could have 100% impeached what little character Shamu has–but gave him a forum instead to bash Trump.
And how does Shamu know that Mark Meadows and someone else on Trump’s team will be testifying Trump knowingly broke the law?
What a pathetic guy and interview. Revolting.
Because it wasn’t an interview…it was a reluctant tongue bath by Brennan. 🤣🤮
Where you expecting anything else besides a pathetic guy and a revolting interview?
Consider who these people are?
And I use the term loosely!
That was a big FAT FILTHY waste of time, and that talking Walrus really looked like Chris Christie
I’m glad I can read the transcript as I cannot stand Margaret Brennan. Her attitude, her voice, just obnoxious. And Christie is ugly on the inside and outside. Who wants to hear what he has to say on anything…who is funding this pig?
IMO, Christie is not fooling anyone, including himself.
He’s still smarting from Trump not giving him a shot in the 1st Trump administration….and he won’t let it go.
Of course, the Dim-O-Crats, the left, and the MSM love it because they hate Trump as well.
Christy is just a tool, a blunt one, but still a tool.
It’s funny and it’s sad.
CBS regulars would have believed every word and enjoyed the show. Like buzzards feasting on roadkill.
The same people also think masks work, COVID-19 vaccines save them, and think FJB, BHO, and GWB are all great Presidents.
I have gotten to the point that if someone admits that they watched the MSM networks or support the Uniparty I ignore them- they are stupid people who don’t deserve my time or respect.
Sorry, I couldn’t make it past 40 seconds, but I did skim through the transcript (GAG).
Thank you for the picture of Melania and President Trump, though. That cracked me up and was worth it!
Chris Christie’s campaign hired a local funeral parlor make-up artist to style him for the interview. Too funny.
Crispy cream is sticking with the 91 indictment schtick
He’ll fall by the wayside soon and promote Nikita Haley…gotta line those pockets with Benjamins
They hired Sean Hannity’s make-up artist to put lipstick on the very big pig Pillsbury Dough Boy Christie.

Dafuq this have to do with anything?
Appears he has a lesion on his upper lip. What’s you verdict?
Maybe- but, I don’t care. His private life and consequences have nothing to do with his inability to govern or lead. In fact he’s always in from behind….👀
I won’t waste my time listening to a has-been being given time by a wanna-be to spew their hatred vile BS for the idiots. The fact the media is even giving him time should help clue in the morons, but then again, they are morons.
What Christy Kreme doesn’t quantify is that all the criminal charges against Trump are bogus and are part of the political which hunt only worthy in a 3rd world country.
He knows it but won’t say it.
Christy: “Doc! People keep telling me I’ve got a big mouth!”
Plastic surgeon: “Oh I can fix that!”
The beached beluga blows and flops around as usual.
This is the only statement of value in this conversation:
“Washington Post had an op ed saying, ‘after Super Tuesday in March, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and what happens there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic in his favor,’ saying all Republican critics, perhaps even yourself will fall silent out of self preservation.”
Looking forward to Super Tuesday.
Looks like “Fatso” has some glaze on his top lip. He must have destroyed a box of donuts before the interview!
Sorry Sundance…..but somebody needs to stuff a donut in this guy’s mouth and just shut him up! This overweight, out of shape,bloviating establishment rat is as irrevelant as the rest of their so called consolidated field. None of them will get the nomination, and they all know it. They are hoping the weaponized apparatus takes him out some how so they have a chance at being the saviour to their rigged and corrupt system! And putting lipstick on a pig…doesn’t change the fact that this guy is still…a pig!
The fat bastard looks like a corpse ready for display in the box.
Bafflegab
He is such a waste of time and money. Hey Ronna can we get some decent stage filler ? GEEZ
Looks like a dead man.
Taps my cup on the bars and shouts. Dead man rolling!
A mob of armed activists attacked a young man with deadly force. They went after him in numbers, chasing him down, knocking him to the ground and one drew a firearm and pointed it at him.
We know the story. We saw the videos.
The left want to blame the victim because he was armed and fought back.
Chris Christie does the EXACT SAME THING to Trump. “If you want civility…” Where and when did the civil discourse end? And who ended it? It wasn’t Trump. A single voice is not enough to start a mass movement against him.
We all know this. My question is who doesn’t know this and why they don’t know it. I would follow up with how do we get the to know it?
But I see Trump in the same light as Kyle Rittenhouse. If you fight back against the mob and WIN, they will call you a criminal.
The only thing I saw in the second photo of Crispy was an anal sphincter.
Fit perfectly on a big jackass.
He is a moron- he has no traction, no one is excited about him and he is only bashing Trump, not even pretending to have a policy ….he won’t make the cut and if he does- who cares?
Why is Luca Brasi staying in the race through the convention?…………….As Scary-Kerry puts it: “Money, money, money, money, money, money!”
Christie can always say he had more “face” time than other candidates. What a congenital liar!
Somebody on his staff must have it in for him, that person wanted to tape a note on Christie’s back that said ”kick me”, but thought better of it and just went with put lipstick on a pig. It’s as cringe inducing as seeing a picture of J Edgar Hoover in women’s clothing with makeup on.Can’t unsee it.
The pic of the President and First Lady sure lifted my rather sagging “Monday spirits”.
Thanks.
And Christie is really too obtuse to parody.
He’s become the new John McCain.
In one way definitely very much like John McCain: stupidly mad at all the wrong people!
Still ole Kristy Kreme! Go away!!
Chris Christie,
Let’s see your point by point accurate description about how the DEEPSTATE, Obama Admin, and (at that time) Rep House Speaker Ryan, and McConnell kneecapped our duly elected 45th President. Until you do that: shut up and sit down.
He is one truly nasty bit of work
I can’t watch this guy. Insufferable blowhard. The hatred for one man within this uniparty apparatus is to be seen to be believed. Trump will forever be known for opening people’s eyes about how strongly their own elected representatives and the entire political class hates them. Once you accept that reality, everything makes sense all the way through the last few decades. They NEVER cared about the electorate!
The problem with the republican party is that there are no republicans in high office, just RINOs.
Chris Christie is a great example of why I vote for president Trump.
He is in the race for the money grab. I imagine his wife or other family member is the middleman for all of his advertising, skimming 10-15% off for a salary. Just like Bernie did in 2016, and reached millionaire staus and again in 2020 to reach multi-millionaire status. Christie has no where to go. They don’t like him enough in NJ to make him a senator or congressman, so this is his retirement plan.
He’s hoping to be installed like the rest of um
Baghdad Bob is insulted; he was at least truly entertaining and could’ve intro’d any episode of SNL.
Christie is about as slimy as a glazed donut left in a warm display case too long …
Well that imagery did it! No more sleep-in mornings. Gonna make my own without glaze.
