Christie's jab at Jill Biden spotlights GOP problems with women

Chris Christie’s jab at First Lady Jill Biden during Wednesday night’s debate has sparked bipartisan condemnation and spotlighted the GOP’s messaging problem with women.

Christie, the former Republican New Jersey governor, was bashing teachers unions when he made a snide side comment, saying they are not advocating for children and that President Biden is “sleeping with a member.”

“They have an advocate inside the White House every day for the worst of their teachers, not for their students to be the best they can be,” Christie said.

The first lady is part of the National Education Association and has been a classroom teacher for more than 30 years.

Hard to say which one he hates more. But his hateful history is well documented. I remember that when I occasionally agree with his slams against cheato. HE IS THE WORST: sexist, anti-worker, pro corporations, and not as dumb as the others.

The best was when he went after constituent, who chided him on the boardwalk, I believe in Ocean City, and the constituent said “If you weren’t standing there with a 6 foot 4 inch state trooper guarding you, you wouldn’t have such a big mouth.” Or words to that effect.
