New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Thursday reacted to the news of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) withdrawal from the race for speaker with a ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
“Nobody in America cares,” Christie told reporters at a town hall event in Manchester, New Hampshire, as quoted by The Bergen Record newspaper. “It’s so dysfunctional and so ugly down there, that it didn’t matter to me who the speaker was.”
The Republican presidential candidate, who’s said he’d rather jump off a bridge than run for Congress. also released a web video Thursday in which he offered another reality check to Washington GOPers he criticized as insular and out of touch with the American people.
“It may not be the most popular thing within my party to be criticizing the Republican Congress, but it needs to be done,” Christie said in the video. “I mean it’s a joke down there. And now they’re having this ‘Game of Thrones’ thing and are gonna put off an election for another couple of weeks.”
“What they should realize is nobody cares,” he added. “In the country, nobody cares who the speaker of the House is going to be. They don’t care. What they care about is when you become speaker, will you actually do something worthy of the position.”
Watch below:
In the highly unlikely event that Christie should ever become President, I wonder if he would care that he cannot get anything done when he has a dysfunctional Congress.
Dysfunctional and ugly–the GOP congressional caucus AND Chris Christie.
Sweet Jesus, get this ugly, repulsive, STOOPID scumbag off the political stage and send him back to Jersey.
Guess what Krispy Kreme? They may very well care if the House completely disintegrates, the debt ceiling isn’t raised and America really and truly is treated like the Third World nation it’s become by the rest of the world. Say goodbye to what’s left of any of your investments (including, but not limited to, 401(k)'s).
Stoopid SOB.
Truly. Christie has never looked more like Mr. Creosote.
But Chris, it is not the Congress that has the muddy reputation; it is the GOP.
