Chris Christie got into a fiery exchange with Vivek Ramaswamy during Wednesday night’s fourth GOP debate, calling out the entrepreneur and fellow White House contender for repeatedly interrupting and blasting him for his attacks against fellow candidate Nikki Haley.
“This is the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in America. So shut up for a little while,” Christie said during the event, hosted by The Hill’s sister news organization NewsNation.
The former New Jersey governor had offered a summary of Ramaswamy’s stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which Ramaswamy denied was correct.
“It’s exactly what you said. You do this at every debate,” Christie said.
When Ramaswamy interjected, Christie said, “You go out on the stump and you say something, all us see it on video, we confront you out on the debate stage. You say you didn’t say it, and then you back away.”
Whatever happened to simply saying “insults?”
Much better
Agreed, that’s much better. I automatically lose interest in any headline that has shit language like “slam.” It’s the most obviously biased crap that you know you’re never going to get a good representation of what actually happened (which is usually “politician gets angy at something”).
I may be misremembering, but wasn’t this kind of headline relegated to garbage tabloids and Faux News 10 or so years ago?
It’s loaded language because it’s The Hill trying to drum up some views for clips and get clicks since their parent company fuckin hosted the debate. It’s always because money. Don’t overthink it
