Chris Christie hospitalized in New Jersey after contracting coronavirus

Source: Raw Story

In a tweet on Saturday, Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) wrote: “In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon. While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure.”

A second tweet read, “I am thankful for our hardworking medical professionals and look forward to coming home soon.”

Dana Bash, I believe, added before she signed off from her report that Christie asked her to mention that he drove himself to the hospital.

He has a wife n 4 kids, I think. Even just one kid. Why are these people just now getting it? I just have no answer to any of this and.. have no mercy. How many people did they expose with the info we were deprived of? This is beyond reason. Beyond stupid. I could go on but I’m spent.

His arteries are probably as clogged as a toll bridge that has been shut down by a hack, fat-fuck politician.

since they do not care about "the little people who are sick, have to work, have crappy insur, etc.". Do unto others, dude! Fair is fair. They want to kill the ACA and bankrupt everyone...fuck them!

Christie is the ass who told IT to interrupt Biden, then call him slow to throw him off in the debates. Since Biden has overcome stuttering, Christie's plan was to make Biden look "slow" and feeble.

I thought there was a shortage of COVID beds in the hospitals and waiting lists and people in hallways. They are eating up hospital personnel and resources for a "feeling good" but generally unhealthy status, not to mention putting unnecessary risk on the people taking care of the "feeling good" guy?????

Yet the mask-less Christie took little thought of inhaling and exhaling saliva droplets that SARS-CoV-2 uses to hitch rides into nostrils. These emotional cripples long for Trump's approval by going bare faced. The mindless selfishness of this suicide cult, makes them a menace to society.

I guarantee that Team Trump will not change their behavior.

I stuttered until 4th grade. I have met Joe twice at fund raisers and got to discuss stuttering with Joe. I am the proud recpient of a Biden hug and Joe told me about the 20+ young people he calls about stuttering.

I susptected that Christie and trump were trying to trigger Joe's stutter.



My dislike of trump and Christie have grown. I did not think that this was possible
