After former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon claimed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lost his shot at a cabinet job because he criticized the President after the Access Hollywood tape came out, Christie fought back.
In an interview with PBS News Hour Monday, Christie said “no one’s really going to care” about what Bannon says “now that he’s been fired” from the White House.
In a post-mortem interview with CBS’ Charlie Rose last week Bannon claimed the response to the release of the tapes, which featured President Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, was a “litmus test” for Trump supporters. He said Christie was not looked at for a cabinet position after that.
After the tapes came out, Christie still backed Trump, but said his comments were “unacceptable” and that he was “disturbed and disappointed by it and embarrassed for him and his family.”
Christie refuted Bannon’s claims.
“I was offered cabinet positions by this president. It’s been widely reported and it’s true that I was offered cabinet positions that I turned down, so I suspect this little black book that Mr. Bannon is talking about, the only one who read that little black book was Mr. Bannon himself,” Christie said. “I know that no one else cared about it and now that he’s been fired, no one’s really going to care about anything else Steve Bannon has to say.”

Funny, I don’t care what either of these bloated idiots has to say. I did not waste my time listening to Bannon on Sunday evening, though, of course, I’ve heard some excerpts from his blathering. As for Christie, i wish him all success in his richly-deserved retirement and hope never to hear his name again after December. Two blowhards whose disappearance from public view will make the world a better place.
So you’re saying his career is over and he’s irrelevant now? Wow. I’ll bet that makes him feel really bad. I doubt he could think of a comeback for that.
