Christie attacks Clinton for bringing race into election: She ‘started’ it
Appearing on ABC’s This Week with host Martha Raddatz on Sunday morning, the New Jersey governor lashed out at Clinton for her speech earlier in the week when she attacked Trump’s courtship of white supremacists and the so-called “alt-right” which traffics in blatant bigotry.
Asked by Raddatz if Trump was correct in returning fire by calling Clinton a “bigot,” Christie neatly sidestepped the question and hammered Clinton for unfairly pointing out the obvious.
“I’ll tell you this. This type of discourse in the campaign is just unwarranted, but it was started by Mrs. Clinton,” Christie insisted. “Mrs. Clinton has started the idea of calling Donald Trump those type of names, and the fact is that once you are the person, and Mrs. Clinton is the person, who injected this type of commentary into this race you can’t then sit back and start complaining about it or have some of your handmaidens in the media complain about it.”
“The fact is she’s been the person who started this type of conversation in the campaign,” he continued. “She should be ashamed of herself.”

Trump and all of his surrogates have the intellectual arguments of a 5 year old.
They’re from the school of: “I know you are but what am I”…….Nonsense!

Nah… I believe by the playground standards of etiquette and discourse this one falls under, “I’m rubber. You’re glue”… ;)

Christie:
“Pay no attention to the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups embracing the Trump candidacy, nor Donald’s call for mass deportations of undocumented Latinos, his blanket statements about urban black communities being completely uneducated and jobless, and his assertion that all American Muslims should be treated as terrorists-in-training.”

Christie endorsed Trump immediately after (R-LA) KKK David Duke endorsed Klansman Donnie.

Trump started it when he came down escalators and started speaking about Latinos!

It started right after the civil war..
Not only did reconstruction of the Confederacy not work..
It only took the slave states 7 years to reverse all the problems that the war tried to solve.
Until we change the minds of the people of the Confederacy this country will NEVER reach its full potential.

exactly. it’s the same thing tRump said in an interview when he was told he’s acting like a 5 y/o, when he said of one of the former candidates, “well, he started it.”

N.y. times report showed trumps 30 million tax debt to NJ. was “suddenly””reduced to 5 million after Chris Christie took office in 2010.Who mr. Christie should be ashamed of themselves?
whatthe46 August 28th, 2016 at 18:48
shame isn’t a part of their vocabulary.
Gary Parillo August 28th, 2016 at 19:12
Your right,sociopaths have no shame,and Christie is as sociopathic as DT.

Uh ! WHAT ?

How dare she misrepresent Trump by the totally unfair practice of verbatim quotes! Don’t you realize that his words are not to be taken at face value! (Well, unless you like what he says – then go for it!) When you take ayahuasca and listen to his speeches, then he makes perfect sense!

The only reason He leaves the Publicity Trough is to take a Trump Dump.

Yup, she did start it. She Welcomed the Black Vote. She Welcomed the Latino Vote. She Welcomed the Gay Vote. She Welcomed the GOOD Muslim Vote. She Welcomed the Asian Vote. She Welcomed the Bernie supporters Vote. She just Plain Welcomed and THANKED ALL Of the PEOPLE for THEIR Votes, instead of Bad Mouthing them like the Trump Idiot did.

Trump’s internal discourse: I’m gonna tell Chris. She started it….all’s I did was start it first with the Mexicans and second with the Moooslems and third with the Syrian terrorist children and fourth with calling Warren Pocahantas and fifth with my own African American and then she said I was a bigot. That’s not right, Mommeeeeeee.
