New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said that the the controversial Time cover that featured his silouette with the title “The Elephant in the Room,” did not bother him.

“It’s certainly not the first weight joke that’s been thrown my way in the last four years,” Christie said on Fox News Sunday.

If you are going to be sensitive about others’ comments like that about you, Christie said, “you don’t belong in public leadership.”
