Chris Christie Flips Out
And Goes Off On An Unhinged Rant Against Hurricane Sandy Victim

Thurs.,
October, 30th, 2014--During a staged event in the New Jersey
town of Belmar Wednesday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie got
into a confrontation with a former Asbury Park City Councilman who
was part of a group of protesters demanding Christie “finish the
job” when it comes to rebuilding the Jersey Shore in the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy.
Christie is flanked by Mafia-looking security guards...for protection? From what, a Hurricane Sandy victim?
Christie played up to the crowd and the cameras
by going off on an unhinged rant against James Keady, a small
business owner and former councilman.
Gee, it seemed so natural. Throw him another fish! Gawd forbid he is elected president!
Keady held up a sign during Christie’s
speech and Christie addressed him from the podium.
Keady’s sign
read “Get Sandy families back in their homes—Finish the Job!”
How dare the unreasonable scoundrel!
Remember when Lizzy Dole was president of the Red Cross and how we all donated to the Red Cross after some disaster? That's when we all learned to specify where our donation be used...otherwise, they put the money in a general fund, allowing Dole to give herself a $200K salary.
I’d be more
than happy to have a debate with you anytime you like, guy, (guy?) because
somebody like you who doesn’t know a damn thing about what you’re
talking about except to stand up and show off when the cameras are
here. I’ve been here when the cameras aren’t here, buddy (buddy?), and
done the work.
What the phuck has he done when over $800M remains in the Sandy account and there are still homeless Americans?
It’s been 23
months since then, when all you’ve been doing is flapping your
mouth and not doing anything! So listen, you want to have that
conversation later, I’m happy to have it, buddy. But until that
time, sit down and shut up!”
I don't think he's a "flapper." Sounds like he's a victim who is trying to get his life together.
Even though Christie claimed that he’d
debate with Keady “anytime” regarding the governor’s Sandy
recovery efforts, when Keady offered to meet Christie for dinner to
discuss, the governor mockingly dismissed him.
Nice touch, Christie...That'll keep those middle classers quiet!
“I’ll tell ya, there’s about
1,000 things I’ll do tonight, going to dinner with you is about
1,001.”
Does that mean no dinner? Drats! I was sure the food offer was a winner.
Obviously, Christie was playing to his
supporters and the cameras, thinking it was time for a classic
Christie bullying session.
He was likely unaware that Keady is a
former councilman who is leading an effort to create awareness of
the large amount of money sitting unused that should be going
directly to residents to help rebuild or relocate.
Mere hours after
Christie berated him in front of the crowd, Keady appeared on MSNBC'S All
In to give his side of the story.
In to give his side of the story.
Not only did Keady articulately get
his point across and bring further awareness to the slow response
from the governor’s office when it comes to the Hurricane Sandy
recovery, but he and Hayes also pointed out the irony behind
Christie claiming that he is there when the cameras aren’t, all
the while saying this at a staged media event.
It is apparent that
Christie thought he was just rolling over someone who would just
take the abuse and leave to the crowd’s jeers.
He didn’t realize
the double-edged sword that would follow.
Keady was well-prepared
for what would inevitably occur at the event and Christie would look
like an out-of-control bully with serious anger management issues.
The hosts at Morning Joe discussed Christie's outburst on Thursday morning.
Keady should have had some fish in his pocket...he could have thrown Christie one.
Even though Mika
Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough referred to Keady as a “heckler”
multiple times, they agreed that this was a bad look for Christie.
Really? You guys are good!
Considering that up through Bridgegate they were the two biggest
Christie honks you could find in media, it says something that they
criticized Christie for his actions.
Remember the two Mafia "guards"? Best not to protest too much.
Scarborough pointed out that
Christie likely needs anger management classes.
Ya think?
Panelist John
Heilemann said that all of the YouTube videos of Christie’s
outbursts that helped make him a household name was probably a big
influence on him taking it to this level.
This tirade from Christie comes on the
heels of him daring a nurse to sue him and further solidifies Christie’s
reputation as an insecure bully.
Best not to get sick in the hospital where she nurses.
No longer can supporters just claim
that he ‘tells it like it is’ or ‘shoots from the hip.’
Do we hafta talk about shooting?
No,
he just tries to bully his way through situations that aren’t in
his favor.
Besides, how many folks are gonna argue with a 300lb. gorilla?
In these instances, Christie is taking heat for his
mandatory quarantines of health workers who treated Ebola patients
as well as his slow response to the Hurricane Sandy recovery effort.
His first and only instinct is to shout someone down.
That’s what
he knows.
And he wants to be President?
Think about that.
I'd rather not!
