    A man began heckling Christie about the pace of storm recovery and interrupted the governor’s speech Wednesday in Belmar on several occasions.

    After trying to brush the man off, Christie yelled back the man didn’t know what he was talking about and was just showing off for the news cameras.

    When heckler Jim Keady continued, Christie told him: “Sit down and shut up.”

    Keady founded a group called Finish The Job, which is critical of the pace of rebuilding assistance in New Jersey.

    Christie defended the recovery but added more people still need help.

    Christie is all bargain and no swim.

    A dialing hope for president if its only him versus Hillary.

    Something tells me that thuggery is not a favorable trait for a human being in higher privilege.

    Tastefully indigestable!

    Once upon a time, nothing could have stopped from voting him in for president. And while we need a strong president, we don’t need a bully. A gracious thing to have done was to let he man speak. Christie would have gotten a lot more good attention instead of this.

    Isn’t that what the people suffering on the GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE in their cars had do for hours on end?

    All politicans are corrupt. Christie had bridgegate. Obama had the IRS. The clinton had more than their fair share too. The question really is which corrupt one is best suited. I still think Christie.
    I will add that he think he totally messed up on the E-bola nurse. nobody wants a paraniod fear mongoring president.
