GOVERNOR CHRISTIE'S COMMENTS REFLECT TENDENCY FOR VIOLENCE, MISOGYNY
By Matt Farrauto
On the Ropes, He Says He’d "Beat [Secretary Clinton’s] Rear End"


(Trenton) — Leading New Jersey Democrats are expressing disgust at the sexist remarks of New Jersey’s absentee Governor, Chris Christie, who said of Secretary Clinton "I'll beat her rear end.” The remark was captured on video by ABC News.

“This is childish and inappropriate, even for Governor Christie. His poor performance in Iowa and the chaos of the Republican field do not give him license to ignore basic rules of decorum or to throw all civility out the window,” said John Currie, the Chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee.

Christie’s latest remarks echo a comment he made about another strong, progressive female official, who would not let him have his way. Speaking of Loretta Weinberg, the Majority Leader of the New Jersey State Senate, the Governor encouraged the media to " take a bat to her.”

“I am sure Chris Christie will argue that this is just who he is, but I hardly think that his violent tendencies are a selling point. This kind of demeaning language is unacceptable, and it begs the question: Would he speak of Senator Sanders or Martin O’Malley in these immature, and sexist terms?” asked Vice Chair of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee Lizette Delgado-Polanco.

Assemblywoman Valerie Huttle also responded, saying, “This is typical. When times get tough, Gov. Christie resorts to name calling, bullying, and one of his all time favorites behaviors -- misogyny. After finishing next to last in Iowa, the only rear end he should worry about is his own!”

Governor Christie’s remarks also lack foundation. While his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination is on the ropes after his pathetic, 10th place finish in Iowa’s Republican caucus, Secretary Clinton finished in first place, after energizing and mobilizing tens of thousands of the state's Democrats in support of her candidacy.

Meanwhile, in New Jersey, roughly two-thirds of the people who know him best believe he would make a bad president. A solid majority want him to resign from office, and save our state any more embarrassment.

1. His comments were disgusting

[democrank]

2. Christie`s remarks were very disturbing

and so disrespectful.

[Bjornsdotter]

3. Christie is an ass

....and his comments are way out of line. The man is a bully.

[NurseJackie]

4. Bracing for "Oh, she's playing the gender-card" retorts. Predictable as the morning sun.

[Fawke Em]

11. Apparently not.

Even Bernie supporters think this was out of line.

[KingCharlemagne]

5. No big Hillary fan here, but Christie's comments are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY

unacceptable. Each remaining Republican candidate should be asked by the MSM whether he or she endorses Christie's views on women or condemns them.

[Hiraeth]

9. agree

[riversedge]

13. Thank you for this comment.

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. "If Kennedy runs, I'll whip his ass."

Jimmy Carter, 1980.

>>>That had to grate on the president. Carter, in fact, told a group of congressmen in 1979 that if Kennedy were to challenge him, "I'll whip his ass.">>>

Sexism? Violence?

Yeah..... well.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[MoonRiver]

8. So, just to clarify, are you defending Christie's comments? eom

[Smarmie Doofus]

14. Define "defending". n/t

[MoonRiver]

15. Do you think what he said is correct?

[Smarmie Doofus]

16. That's not what "defending" means, so let's try this:

Define "correct".

[MoonRiver]

17. You're slick!

But I do suggest you invest in a dictionary if you don't know how to find one online.

[MoonRiver]

7. I agree that his comments do just reflect who he is,

a mean, sexist, potentially violent excuse for a human being.

[restorefreedom]

10. christie is a vile, putrid, steaming pile

he is a bully and a tyrant.

i say that as someone with a long du record of being critical of hillary's policies.

he is scum, period.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Kind of an odd paraphilia for Christie.

DSB

[VulgarPoet]

18. People like this should not exist in politics.

If you have to attack someone, attack their issues, their voting record, but not their race, gender, or orientation! Admittedly, this is becoming disturbingly order of the day for the republicans, but just... this is fuckin' disgusting. This is juvenile, and it shouldn't even be considered juvenile. How are people not rallying to have him removed from power?

[speaktruthtopower]

19. That's the flip side..

of "authenticity."
