Christie on Trump Press Conference Flap: 'No, I Was Not Being Held Hostage'

by CARRIE DANN

Chris Christie vigorously defended his endorsement of Donald Trump Thursday and insisted his much-ridiculed facial expressions during Trump's press conference earlier this week did not betray regret or panic about his choice.

"No, I was not being held hostage," he said told reporters during a press conference in New Jersey. "No, I was not sitting up there thinking 'Oh my God, what have I done?'"

"I wasn't upset, I wasn't angry, I wasn't despondent," he said. "I wasn't anything other than happy that we had done as well as we had done that night, and listening to someone giving a press conference in front of the national press corps. "

A sometimes befuddled-looking stare on Christie's face during Trump's lengthy Super Tuesday night event led to ridicule of the New Jersey governor on social media.

Maybe they can bully each other. Isn't Christie always angry about something?

Peace

Yep, Trump kidnapping someone and holding them hostage is possible, but it really didn't happen here.
I'll let you know when it does - watch my eyes.

you're still a self-promoting, self-involved rat bastard who is willing to sell whatever you have to whomever may be in a position to advance your career. You sold the state of NJ to your campaign contributors and close supporters. Now your selling yourself. And if you had a moment of regret-all the better. We've established what kind of person you are, we just want to know the price.
