Gov Chris Christie Attacks Law Enforcement Critic By Calling Him A “Pig”

Yesterday, Pat Colligan, the president of New Jersey’s Police Benevolent Association spelled out, in great detail, the level of distain that Governor Chris Christie has for Law Enforcement Officers in New Jersey.

“He certainly doesn’t have our backs. He certainly hasn’t been friendly to our position. Our organization, the New Jersey State PBA, has been around since 1896. We’ve had a relationship with every governor since 1896. We have had no relationship with this governor. Besides the fact that he has never met with us, besides the fact that we represent nine out of ten police officers in the state -law enforcement officers in the state – when he got into office he systematically started degrading the law enforcement profession in New Jersey.”

At an event in New Hampshire, where Chris Christie spends most of his time misleading Granite State voters, he took a question from a member of the media, who referred to Mr. Colligan’s critique of the governor’s record. Governor Christie responded by calling him a “pig.”

Christie has engaged in this type of behavior for years, verbally attacking middle school teachers, U.S. Navy seals, female Democratic leaders and, really, anyone who criticizes him.

6. If your nickname is Krispy Kreme

you probably shouldn't be calling anyone a pig

[smirkymonkey]

9. Exactly what I was going to say!

He is in no position to be calling anyone else a pig, of all things.

[roguevalley]

4. I think he projects his own self image onto others and then there are the fat guys who mistake

their lard for muscles. I think he's a bit of both, the swaggering pile of crap. I wish he and Trump didn't have body guards to hide behind so those they insult can reach them and beat the living crap out of them. Natural consequences.

5. Feeling his bully again after getting newspaper endorsement

[Jack Rabbit]

7. That's rich

. . . coming from a bully with a personality only his mother could love (if she's bribed) and looks like someone who thinks doughnuts are one of the five basic food groups.

8. I only see one fat pig in that picture

[Kelvin Mace]

13. I think folks are missing the point here

They are looking at Christie's remark in the context of his obesity, not in the context of calling the head of the Policeman's Benevolent Association a "pig", which is an incendiary name to cops.

[WIProgressive88]

16. Can you imagine the outrage had a Democrat used the word "pig" to describe the head of

a police union?

[GOLGO 13]

21. Well, it take a fat pig to recongnize a pig I guess.

Fat Chris thinks he's a real live Soprano.
