Christie Lashes Out At Former Navy Seal, Calls Him An ‘Idiot’ (VIDEO)
March 10, 2012
By Michael Hayne

NJ Governor and professional YouTube screamer, Chris Christie, is renowned for his shout fests and reaching a bluto-like level of rage at town halls. In fact, it’s become so hackneyed and cliché that it’s no wonder Hollywood doesn’t have a remake in the works. It’s widely known that the gargantuan governor hosts these rancorous town halls in rich, white and Republican-leaning areas, thus limiting the possibility of a legitimate questioner challenging his Jerseylicous greatness with a legitimate question. So it’s always interesting to see the what happens when some brave resident of New Jersey stares down the beast and raises an actual question regarding some of the Governor’s policies.

Unfortunately for William Brown — a Rutgers-Camden law student and former Navy SEAL–might as well have smashed the Ten Commandments when he raised his opposition to the governor’s plan to merge his school with Rowan University. Brown quixotically and earnestly asked the governor during a town hall meeting in Burlington County to consider how the merger would affect students as well as veteran students before executing his plan. Without even so much as addressing any the concerns of Brown, Christie sharply responded by saying that his plan would happen because it would provide “bigger and better opportunities.” This is where things turned pretty ugly, Joisey style.
