... and one of the loudest-mouthed RINO's (aka jelly doughnut boy) also chimes in to politicize a national disaster.  What a piece of crap he is!   .... hmm...I think a phone call is needed to Christie's office telling him that politicizing Harvey is inappropriate and despicable!

Chris Christie calls Ted Cruz a liar over claim Hurricane Sandy aid went to ‘unrelated pork’ projects

Gov. Chris Christie (R) slammed Sen.Ted Cruz (R-TX) on MSNBC Tuesday night, calling him a liar for saying two-thirds of the Hurricane Sandy relief aid had “nothing to do with Sandy.”

Speaking with host Chris Hayes, the blunt-talking New Jersey governor heaped scorn on Cruz for lying in the service of portraying himself as a fiscal champion.

According to Cruz, the bulk of Sandy aid distributed to New Jersey in 2012 to recover from Sandy was “filled with unrelated pork.”

Cruz has been on the defensive in the wake of Hurricane Harvey damage to Texas, defending himself against claims that he and other Texas GOP lawmakers are hypocrites for requesting federal disaster relief for their state after refusing to help New Jersey in 2012.

“What was wrong was for Ted Cruz to exploit Sandy for political gain, and that’s what he was doing,” Christie told MSNBC’s Hayes......

If your fat worthless and hated ass is forced to hit up a no ratings hack like Hayes to slam Cruz, your opinion don't count.

Christie got Obama re-elected, I have not doubt.
That photo op did the trick.
Wonder what he got in return?
Probably pissed that his share of pork for New Jersey was also shot down in that bill.
Hey, Chris, how's that Federeal job Trump gave you working out for ya?

No need to get bent out of shape about Christie Creme. He is the most hated Gov in the country after years of ruining the state while he did stuff like Bridgegate and vacationing on beaches that he just closed. He is irrelevant garbage.

   He recently denied he'd appoint himself Senator if Menendez crash and burns to early (highly unlikely).
   Openly admits that failing in his Executive capacities does not mean he can't be an effective Legislator, Good Lord knows Trump don't want him anywhere near his Administration.

   yes, I made that last shit up, but we all know it's true.

I know what your up to. I always know what your up to. Did I just showed up here out of the blue? No. I sensed you were about to post something that I could slam you with while I was walking the cat. Broke into the neighbors house to get to a computer and logged in just in time. I wonder why is keyboard is all sticky?

   I sent a PM to Mod8 @Frank Cannon took her almost a week to get back to me, complained that it was her illness that delayed the response, but she denies that she is on your payroll.

“The Congressional Research Service issued a comprehensive report on the provisions, and it’s clear that virtually all of it was related to the damage caused by Sandy,” The Post said. “There may have been some pork in an earlier Senate version, but many of those items were removed before final passage. There were also some items that appear to have been misunderstood.”

Congressional Quarterly indeed shows Christie is correct.  Cruz should have admitted to a mistake, we all do that,  instead he tried to defend it. The facts are on Christie's side.  Cruz is looking like Cruznochio.

I doubt if Rep. Gohmert would be so critical of Rep. Peter King, they are probably allies, but caterwauling Mark Levin's Conservative Review put over a cheapshot on King.  Levin makes nasty statements trying to remain relevant. His radio show is tanking but he did write a bestseller apparently.

Excess is when your Exhibit B starts looking like Exhibit A
