Christie rips media for focus on supposed rebuke of Trump instead of McCain's life

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) ripped the media Sunday morning for focusing on the supposed rebuke of President Trump at the late Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) funeral, rather than celebrating the senator’s life.

“This is part of the problem with Washington, D.C. It’s the commentary that we’ve been hearing for the last 24 hours or so, since then, is all about the rebuke, supposedly of President Trump, rather than the life of John McCain,” Christie told ABC’s “This Week.”

“And the fact is that there were extraordinary tributes yesterday that we didn’t hear any clips of, before we all started speaking here,” Christie continued.

“Extraordinary things that were said, by President Bush ... by President Obama, by Joe Lieberman who didn’t rebuke President Trump at all yesterday in his remarks and focused on his friend John McCain and the extraordinary man that he was, the extraordinary sense of humor he had, and his toughness and his temper.”

I don't know which news stories you follow Christie but they did talk about both McCain's life and how it contrasted with Trump.

It is possible to have both thoughts in your head. It's like when you're in the "all you can eat" buffet line and you see two desserts you like. Instead of taking one or the other you take both.

and he really doesn't want to miss out on the train wreck because he believes it might be rolling on to glory.


However reality has shown Christie the hard truth.

Still he wants to believe.


So he hangs back holding out for opportunity to knock ,there ready and waiting to kick down the door.
