'This is bullsh-t': Chris Christie 'erupted' when humiliated with offer of labor secretary instead of RNC chairmanship

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie describes a series of post-2016 election humiliations in his new memoir, including being pushed to consider the role of Republican National Committee chairman, before instead being offered the job of secretary of labor.

When he refused the Labor Department position, he was offered instead to be secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, or ambassador to Italy, or ambassador to the Vatican, he writes — all of which he refused.

“I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’ve had enough,” Christie recounts telling outgoing RNC chairman Reince Priebus, who relayed the disappointing news after then-President-elect Trump failed to show up to a meeting in Trump Tower in New York.

"This is bullshit," he recalls telling Priebus in Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics, which was released Tuesday.

 Jelly doughnut boy should have taken the offer.

Italy has really good pasta, too.

Good thing Christie can still manage to stroke his ego, that's about all he can reach.

A total jackass:
* clown governor who accomplished absolutely zero,
* political lefty in the Woodrow Wilson mold,
* massive weight problem needy of controlled starvation.

He got Planned Parenthood closed and got them mad at him to be a pro-life governor in that area, must really be something. I'm sure he's done more for pro-lifers than any of us here and any or at least most of those Senators that ran in 2016.

Update: Governor Christie Vetoes bills the Senate and Assembly passed to use your tax dollars to fund the largest abortion provider. Take Action Now!

Gov. Chris Christie vetoes PP funding again

New Jersey governor Chris Christie continues to fight Planned Parenthood, recently vetoing funding to Planned Parenthood for the fourth time!

Also, like a lot of them, a pretty good legal mind.  Would have made a good enough AG.

Has done more in than all the Senators who ran in 2016 for the pro-life cause, maybe Rubio's record is very honorable as well.

But as for the others,    Some are more than just words.

I don't know what country you are posting from Tommy, but here in the US we have a state called New Jersey. This fat slob Christie Creme ran it very very poorly. So poorly in fact that a straight up Marxist now runs the state. A Marxist so far Left that any small things Christie Creme did on abortion will be flushed down the toilet. Enjoy.

Trump tossed him a bone, and he thought he was a player.  I suspect he never was.

Trump needs to build his own team versus using former Bushies.  They will bury him.

And I do agree with one thing, he needs to remove his son-in-law from the picture.  He is green as can be and has hurt Trump.

All great points @TomSea , seriously.

Christie is going to be on Joe Pags this hour supposedly.

He prosecuted and may have convicted Jared Kushner' father. I did not know, he will be on at the bottom of the hour. Joe Pags is also on newsmax tv. Chris just wrote a book he's plugging.  This is what Joe Pags will be saying, maybe we will find out.

[TomSea]

Yes, Christie convicted Kushner's father, tax evasion and... some more juicy things that they deferred not to talk about. Well, that's a good reason not to choose him for Vice-President, he would have been a better AG probably, Christie said he wouldn't have recused himself but run the investigation himself.

[TomSea]

Christie will be on Laura Ingraham tonight at 9 pm CST, repeat at 1 am, CST.

[libertybele]

I'm not real fond of Christie, but he did take down Jared's pappy and for that I give him a ton of credit.  With Jared as Trump's advisor, there is no way that Christie is going to be welcome anywhere near Jared. Jared is just a disaster for Trump and for this country.

Chris Christie: Jared Kushner's father committed 'one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes' I prosecuted

..........."Christie was referring to an elaborate revenge plot that the older Kushner hatched in 2003 in order to target his his brother-in-law, William Schulder, a former employee turned witness for federal prosecutors in their case against Kushner, who was under investigation at the time for making illegal campaign contributions.
As a part of the plot, Kushner hired a prostitute to lure Schulder into having sex in a Bridgewater, New Jersey, motel room as a hidden camera rolled. A tape of the encounter was then sent to Kushner's sister and Schulder's wife, Esther.

Ultimately, the intimidation stunt failed. The Schulders brought the video to prosecutors, who tracked down the call girl and threatened her with arrest. She promptly turned on Kushner.
In a plea deal negotiated by Christie, Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness -- his brother-in-law -- and another count of lying to the Federal Election Commission...."
