Republican presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) had spent the morning in Iowa, but protesters who stormed the stage during his speech at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday made the governor think he was back in Jersey, according to The Des Moines Register.
“I have to tell you the truth, when something like that happens and I’m here in Iowa, man I feel right at home,” he told the audience, according to the newspaper. “It’s like I’m back home in Jersey for a couple of minutes. So thank you Iowa for doing that.”
Three protesters climbed up to the stage while Christie was speaking. Two men carried a sign with a picture of a hog in a gestation crate that read, “It’s not food. It’s violence.” A woman shortly followed them on stage. All three were escorted away by security and ejected from the fair, according to the publication.
Christie vetoed a bill last year that would have prohibited using crates. Some considered it an appeal to Iowa voters, according to the report.
Didn’t Christie have some kind of weight loss surgery?
Because he still looks like a brood sow.
Converts to the cause: 0
Often, the true believers in a cause are really clueless about how to appeal to others (see, for example, the Tea Party).
He did have the surgery and he is still pretty huge but if you see pictures of him before, there is a significant difference. I was surprised seeing pictures of his before and after. Having said that, it is not a miracle. People are supposed to eat less and even want to eat less, but that does not work for a lot of people
That is a pleasant reply. Shows he is hated as much in Iowa as jersey.
But in jersey it’s much much worse.
Here’s what the home folks think:
