8. 'she comes across people all the time who are "still really sad"' Chris Christie?

I am responsible for what happened. I am sad to report to the people of New Jersey that we fell short.

And so for that too I am sad today to have to take this action.

And I'm saddened to have to do this.

I'm sad. I'm sad. That's the predominant emotion I feel right now is sadness, sadness that I was betrayed by a member of my staff, sadness that I had people who I entrusted with important jobs who acted completely inappropriately, sad that that's led the people of New Jersey to have less confidence in the people that I've selected. The emotion that I've been displaying in private is sad.

But the fact is right now I'm sad.

And you can only imagine, as I was standing there in my bedroom with my iPad, looking at that, how incredibly sad and betrayed I felt.

But I am a very sad person today.

I'm sad. I'm a sad guy standing here today, and very disappointed.

It's a sad day for me. And I'm doing what I'm obligated to do under this job, because it's the right thing to do, and I'm doing it. But it doesn't make me angry at the moment. It just makes me sad.
