ew York (CNN)ABC News staffers who were in direct contact with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will quarantine for 14 days, a spokesperson for the network said in a statement Saturday after Christie announced he had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Christie, an ABC News political analyst, was on set for ABC News' post-debate coverage Tuesday. Others on set included ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Democracy for America chief executive Yvette Simpson, and Republican strategist Sara Fagan.

"[Christie] was last in our TV3 studio on Tuesday, and he won't appear in our studio again until he's cleared by a doctor, following guidance from the CDC and local health officials," the ABC spokesperson said. "Anyone on our staff in direct contact with the Governor as defined by the CDC will self-isolate for 14 days. We wish the Governor a speedy recovery."

The ABC spokesperson declined to comment when asked whether anyone on its staff had shown symptoms of coronavirus and whether all staff who came into contact with Christie had received a test by Saturday afternoon.

1. He won't appear again until he is cleared by a doctor?

The hell with that. Their statement should be that Christie is banned for life from ABC news stations.

[dhol82]

4. Exactly!

[Midnight Writer]

11. Exactly. If he came in and waved a loaded gun around, would they have him back?

[vlyons]

28. my thought exactly

nt

[DENVERPOPS]

37. Agreed

He has proven time and time again he is a pure sleezeball.

Expose him for what he is and what he did, and trash his so called career forever more.

Why this hand slapping, milk toast statement??????? Is ABC owned by Republicans???????

[dem4decades]

2. No more Republicans on the set. They're dangerous and lie anyway.

[W_HAMILTON]

3. How about don't have someone from the president's debate team on as commentator to begin with?

Especially one that fucking lied to you all and potentially infected everyone with COVID?

[Blue Owl]

5. A couple of fat fucks are currently ruining it for everyone

I hope they both "shuffle off" soon...

[ffr]

6. Well ABC, you and CBS have been carrying their water to boost your ratings

One comes with the other.

You've long since stopped supplying us with journalistic investigative journalism, in favor of Fake News. Deal with it!

[Cha]

9. That was kind of my train of thought.

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. This

[Trumpocalypse]

17. Well said

Both CBS and ABC News are worthless.

[crickets]

27. Yep. They got a little too cozy with one another, and look what happened. nt

[iluvtennis]

29. + 1. nt

[llmart]

31. Exactly how I feel.

In fact, they were instrumental in giving the orange idiot as much free airtime as he wanted before the last election.

[Cha]

7. That's what maggot do, ABC.. you should

know that.

[RockRaven]

8. So stop putting Trumplanders on the air. Simple.

They can't infect your staff if you don't invite them in.

[CentralMass]

10. When you hire a weasel you get what you pay for.

[blueinredohio]

12. They deserve it for even having him as an analyst.

[ananda]

13. Lie down with Reep dogs, rise up with Covid.

..

[Traildogbob]

15. Fat ass

May not be seen again until the morgue. If cremated, that blubber will burn for days.

[yuiyoshida]

16. some Republicans still think this is all a hoax

may they die well.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. A Klingon Phrase

But, Klingons value honor. This gang is more like romulans, but I still share your sentiment.

[LisaL]

18. What was the reckless behavior?

No explanation given.

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. Christie's mask-less proclivities?

[helpisontheway]

19. Fire him! I avoid the show because of his Trump loving ass!nt

[warmfeet]

20. Yeah right.

Fucking corporate assholes care about profit only. If they actually cared, they would put their money where their mouth is - they would actually report what is going on, not just repeating the bullshit talking points of the orange menace and his enablers. The media, including ABC, gave tRump a platform and are responsible for the mess we are currently in. ABC knows what to do, they just won't do it because it will cost them money. Fuck them! The media elected tRump and now complain about the ramifications.

[TeamPooka]

22. I look forward to ABC News putting a pundit back on air who has brazenly lied to them and put their

lives at risk.
I mean just because he lied to your face doesn't mean he has the kind of credibility that the nations shouldn't hear on your airwaves, right?

[OAITW r.2.0]

24. Perhaps we need to start treating Republicans like the lepers they are. nt

No social contact with these people until the Pandemic is irradicated. Let them keep infecting their kind.

[Crowman2009]

25. Then why the hell did ABC hire this corrupt POS?

I was fuming over the fact that he was allowed to do post-democratic debate commentary.

[world wide wally]

26. Fire his obnoxious ass

[malaise]

30. To be kind M$Greedia has exposed way too many reporters

and correspondents to the Con and his goons.

[SayItLoud]

32. They hired him. They saw him in the prep room with NO mask. STFU ABC.nt

[Rebl2]

33. Should never

be invited back and pay for all medical expenses for all those affected.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. Anybody see Christie on Colbert talking about debate prep?

About a month or so ago. Colbert pleaded for him to not help. Wondered if he helped sabotage him. Then saw this story and recalled he's a total A-hole.

[Aerator]

35. I guess you could say what he said about trump ...He came in a little hot

[58Sunliner]

36. The cockroach carried a disease. What a surprise.

[Pepsidog]

38. How many times does Trump have to shit over Christie before he stops coming back for more.
