Chris Christie isn't sorry that he called a Rutgers law student and veteran Navy SEAL an "idiot" during a town hall meeting last week. “Just because he was a Navy SEAL doesn’t give him the right to be a jerk,” Christie told reporters. “This was a guy with a political agenda who came in and wanted to try and make me look bad and not let me answer the question. He can cry his crocodile tears all he wants." Yes, because the only person who is allowed to have a political agenda is the Governor of New Jersey.
Christie's reference to law student Bill Brown's "agenda" refers to his run for an Assembly seat in 2009. But Brown and Christie have spoken before, once when Brown was a veteran's advocate during Christie's campaign and again on a call-in show. He tells the Star-Ledger that he expected Christie to be "cordial" because before he "looked into my eyes and really appeared like he was listening." Oh, Bill. That was Campaign Christie, this is Governor Christie.
“I think one of the big things that concerns me is the fact that Governor Christie is so popular and that he publicly humiliated me in front of everyone,” Brown said. “After New Jersey citizens saw what happened, I think there’s going to be deterrent for people to get up and question his policies. And this isn’t the first time he’s done that.”
