It’s no secret that Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie’s mission isn’t to win the White House but to make sure that former President Donald J. Trump doesn’t, and the human torpedo was again deployed on Sunday morning television to attack the current 2024 GOP frontrunner on multiple issues.
One of the former New Jersey governor’s target coordinates was Trump’s weight, punching back at the ex-POTUS who has repeatedly jabbed the morbidly obese Christie with vicious barbs about his ongoing struggles with his waistline, and during his Fox News appearance on Sunday’s edition of “Media Buzz,” he mocked his former ally’s physique during his talk with host Howard Kurtz.
“Like he’s some Adonis?” Christie shot back, referring to the Greek god of beauty and desire. “Howie, there are tens of millions of Americans, out in your audience, watching right now, who like me have struggled with their weight. I continue to struggle. I continue to try to do better, and so do they,” appealing to viewers as if Trump is insulting them as well.
