Thinking he can still win the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Chris Christie pandered to the far right wing faction of the Republican Party by killing a gun bill in Jersey that would have limited the amount of rounds in a gun, he then refused to meet with parents from the sandy Hook massacre.
This of course did not go over well with Democrats, and apparently it did not go over well with some Republicans either.
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC called Christy a “chicken…” for the blatantly dumb political move he made.
Scarborough: I think it’s kind of chicken “something,” which I won’t say on the air. It’s chicken, we’ll say “salad,” for Chris Christie to not meet with these families for at least five to 10 minutes, hypocritical. How about being humane? And the reason Chris can’t do that is the logic, the ten precious children, it’s so convoluted that I don’t think he could say that with a straight face. I think he would be embarrassed to say that to parents who lost their children. Saying that if you support only ten, only a clip of ten rounds in a clip that somehow you’re saying those ten children aren’t precious?
