Grilled by reporters for almost two hours on Thursday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie answered questions ranging from whether he’s a bully to how much he knew about forced traffic jams.
He started today’s event with an apology, saying that he was “embarrassed and humiliated.” He then moved to this morning’s firing of Bridget Kelly, an aide who had sent the infamous “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee” email.
This word cloud shows the relative frequency with which Christie used words during the press conference — the bigger the word, the more frequently it was used. The cloud shows that the governor frequently said “think,” “know” and “people.” Used less were words such as “mistakes,” “responsibility” and “apologize.” Of note: the cloud excludes Christie’s frequent use of the phrase “you know” and other common English words.
