Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who helped Trump prepare for Tuesday night's presidential debate, said Saturday morning he tested positive for the coronavirus.

"I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19," Christie wrote on Twitter. "I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two. I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition."

Christie was in close contact with Trump and other senior officials in recent days. He attended the event in the Rose Garden last Saturday where Trump announced his pick to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. At one point, he was seen hugging Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who has tested positive for the virus.

On Sunday, Christie attended a news conference in the White House briefing room, along with press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and the president's personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani. They could be seen huddling close to one another, none of them wearing masks.

1. Not good

Nope

[Botany]

2. Only Bill Barr and Mike Pence to go from Trump's super spreader court packing party.

Any other republican senators there?

[TexasBushwhacker]

8. Was Rudy Giuliani there?

Anything to shut him up would be a blessing.

[catbyte]

16. Rudy helped with debate prep, just like Christie. trump probably had a pretty heavy

viral load by then. That's why I won't relax about Joe until next week.

[Chemisse]

42. Same here. I'm still on edge over Biden's exposure. n/t

[Traildogbob]

28. Get em RBG

One by one. Fat people do not fair well. I did not know the virus passed through the anus and close contact to one is deadly. Close contact, I meant full head insertion.
Please, Barr, Graham, Turtle, and Trump family. Go visit him. Get your daily ass kissing in. It’s safe, no mask required. Don’t be a snowflake. It’s a hoax, like a cold, take some of those millions of Hydroxy we paid for and get in there to cheer him up. Be Best. America is on its way to getting great again, pre trump great. Give me a Red Hat. Karma is making it so.

[still_one]

3. I guess this is what he meant by cleaning out the swamp. Waiting for Barr

[patricia92243]

10. Best one I've heard lately! Lol!

[still_one]

19. ...........................

[Traildogbob]

29. Swamp fever takin hold.

[Auggie]

4. I'll never forget nor forgive the way he slammed President Obama

[catbyte]

15. Especially since how Obama was there for him every step of the way after Sandy.

[onetexan]

24. the morbidly obese guy is as much an opportunist as the Con he supports

which is why he won't slither quietly away. He keeps groveling to the Con to stay relevant. I believe he still harbors POTUS dreams.

[yuiyoshida]

5. I don't think he will get the WALTER REED treatment

and with his problems, he may be in major trouble.

[Ohiogal]

6. My God they are dropping like flies.

[mpcamb]

40. thanks to Typhoid Donnie

[brush]

7. He's going to have a rough time, what with his weight, age...

and asthma. Republicans seem incapable of following the advice of doctors and scientists as to masks, social distancing and large, unmasked gatherings.

Christie might not survive this, trump either for that matter.

[iluvtennis]

9. Was Christie at the spreader event for Amy Barrett or just with trump for debate prep? CNN

answered my question. He was in contact with trump at the Amy Barrett event as well as debate prep.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. BOTH

Double dose!

33. Thank you for the answer back - much appreciated. nt

[dalton99a]

11. High-risk asshole engaged in high-risk behavior

A likely poor prognosis

[NNadir]

12. Oh, well then. He certainly thought that Trump would be a great President.

It couldn't happen to a nicer fat assed criminally minded fat fuck.

[kiri]

26. Christie expected to be AG

CC thought he had a bridge to become attorney general, after being the loyal burger-fetcher. Why he remains a puppet to Trumpio is a mystery after the worst slam of his life.

BTW, gets a nice pension from New Jersey taxpayers, but what does he actually do nowadays?

[NNadir]

27. I couldn't care less what he does now, but I do resent NJ tax money going to him.

He's a disgrace to my state.

[catbyte]

14. I'll bet Rudy is crapping his pants right about now, too.

[Lefta Dissenter]

18. Isn't that another symptom of COVID? 😆. (n/t)

🤷🏼‍♀️

[BumRushDaShow]

21. ...

[rurallib]

20. probably trying to kill the virus with alcohol internally

[Traildogbob]

31. This old ass

Has been wearing depends for years. He was shitting his pants way before Covid.
The scent will be the same.

[Miigwech]

39. Rudy is next to come down with Covid, for sure

Covid was trump party swag ... Satan's #1 gift this year

[Marthe48]

17. True equality would give

every single victim of Covid-19 a headline. We wouldn't just hear about the asses who willfully ignored the science and medical guidelines.

[eggplant]

22. Was he positive when he was sitting on the ABC debate panel? Did he infect the rest of them?

[BumRushDaShow]

25. A bunch keep claiming they were getting "negatives"

But I expect that was from the less-accurate "rapid tests".

The super-spreader Rose Garden event happened the Saturday before the Tuesday debate. CNN has been discussing the 72-hour "gap" of apparent "confirmation" of a positive and the reporting of it late Thursday night and Friday morning.

I.e., 45 apparently tested positive on Wednesday (probably when Hope Hicks tested positive) and he let that ride all the way to the end of the week. I expect that all the others like Christie, who were in contact with them, were ignoring what happened with Hicks and/or did not do the "full" nasal swab PCR test, until it was too late.

[VWolf]

23. I would love to see him rushed off to a hospital in NYC,

only to get stuck in MASSIVE traffic in Fort Lee.

That would be karmic justice.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Ever since I saw "Hamilton"

I *finally* got the context of "Ft. Lee" in Jersey.

(and I've been back and forth over the GW bridge there MANY times)

[karynnj]

47. There's that and that Christie likely ordered his minions to close the FT Lee lanes that access the

bridge causing a city wide traffic jam on the first day of school.

[BumRushDaShow]

48. I am in Philly so we heard all about his antics daily

like misusing state resources to fly a state chopper to his son's ballgames or of course, staying at a state beach when they were closed to the public during a budget standoff (generating all sorts of hilarious memes).

And that ASS cancelled the NY/NJ transit tunnel project, that WAS funded by the federal government, and had to repay hundreds of millions out of taxpayer's money because of that. It could have taken so much congestion off the GW Bridge.

He's a bully and always was one. We are South Jersey's media market and whenever he was out and about, we heard it and saw it.

[karynnj]

46. He's at a well regarded Morristown, NJ hospital

This is a hospital I know well - as my three daughters were born there.

[SunSeeker]

32. Did anyone have Christie on their Saturday Superspreader bingo card?

I still waiting on Barr and Roberts to be called.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Do you have the card with Ghouliani on it?

Uh oh, I think if I say that name one more time then...

[SunSeeker]

35. LOL

[Roc2020]

43. haaa!!

[C Moon]

36. "Me too!"

[LudwigPastorius]

37. Hard to have any sympathy at all for these fools.

They willfully turned the White House rose garden into a giant petri dish.

[bringthePaine]

38. nobody cares about that gelatinous lying shitberg

[totodeinhere]

41. As obese he is I would think he is at high risk. n/t

[The King of Prussia]

44. I'm pretty sure that it's a medical FACT

That anyone whose BMI is higher than their IQ is fcuked if they get the virus.

[CTyankee]

45. NOW do you understand the utter stupidity of your recent interaction with infected people at

the White House? You are a fool, Chris Christie! An utter and depraved FOOL!
