34. Says Christie was "still defiant".. and is apparenly still lying about Kaci Hickox and saying she

was sick.. Of course Christie is lying.. that's what he does.

"At first, Christie in particular was defiant. He said Sunday morning that he had "no second thoughts" about instituting the quarantine. But that confidence lasted just 24 hours more.

By Sunday evening, Cuomo was revising his quarantine policy, per the New York Times, ordering that patients could spend their time at home. By Monday morning, with everybody from the White House to almost any medical authority who had spoken publicly on the issue urging a more restrained response, Christie said that Hickox could spend the remainder of her 21 days at home.

Christie's office did what it could to save face after that announcement, but the speed of the reversal crystallized what had really been clear from the beginning: This whole thing had been botched.

Big bad Christie had to back down.
