New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doesn’t want any Syrian refugees let into the United States — not even if they're orphaned toddlers.

“I don’t think orphans under 5 are being, you know, should be admitted into the United States at this point. But you know, they have no family here. How are we going to care for these folks?” Christie said in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt Monday.

“The fact is, you can come up with a number of different scenarios, Hugh. But in the end, I don’t trust this administration to effectively vet the people that they’re asking us to take in. We need to put the safety and security of the American people first,” Christie continued.

never has a fall from grace been more deserved.

1. I don't trust Cartman with

a pizza

a bridge

a pension fund

the truth

my country

In fact, I cannot think of anything important I would trust Christie with.

2. How can a man who would say such a thing imagine he could be president of the United States?

A man who would turn his back on infants and toddlers because of his own cowardice simply is unfit to be president.

Are Republicans so far gone that even they can't see that?

3. Syrian fetuses or embryos, though... that's another story.

13. WAIT A MINUTE.....how are you going to vet them?

Their mother's could have radicalized them reading the Koran to them in the womb! Gives a new meaning to sleeper cells...in this case those could be cradles, LOL! Better refurbish those toll booths into border check points.

4. really orphans under 5

I just threw up

Christie is a dog

[LiberalElite]

6. Unfair to dogs. Seriously

the average dog has more empathy than that wannabe hasbeen.

[bklyncowgirl]

5. So much for the tough guy. Real leaders help us face our fears, demogogues pander to them.

Christie is disgraceful in his abject race to outpander the competition.

Sad considering how many otherwise reasonable people in my state thought him a real leader in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

[LiberalElite]

7. He had his moments in the wake

of Hurricane Sandy, just as Ghouliani did after 9/11. Even I liked the Generallisimo for a couple of months.

[bklyncowgirl]

8. Politically calculated or not he did his job after the hurricane and showed real empathy.

That is a rare enough thing these days that it won him a great deal of admiration--for a short time at least.

[cynzke]

15. He Showed Empathy...

But practiced it by funneling relief funds into other projects and pad his budget to look good. His empathy vanished when the filming stopped.

[bklyncowgirl]

16. Absolutely but it got him what he wanted--re-election with a large margin of victory.

I'm proud to say I voted for Barbara Buono, the poor sacrificial lamb the Democrats ran against him.

9. "Straight to hell"

There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

Can you cough it up loud and strong?
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Straight to hell boys
Go Straight to hell boy

10. Well, cheer up. At least he's not suggesting using the little kids as target practice.

It's only a matter of time before another GOP bozo does though. It makes me, an atheist, hope for a second coming just to watch some of these people get slapped up side the head.

11. New Jersey's not that far from the Statue of Liberty

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[Crowman1979]

12. Well Christie shouldn't shove Canolis down his gullet!

[restorefreedom]

14. christie is a putz.

gee, another racist hate monger in the gop, what a shock......

[Jefferson23]

17. He's a vile man. n/t

[GOLGO 13]

18. Such a huge, strapping man is afraid of a 4yr old orphan? This is the fear that drives a coward?

Conservatism is about being afraid.

[randome]

19. The new GOP mascot.

We get two for the price of one! The GOP is lazy AND frightened!

20. Tell those toddlers to get back into the womb

Then maybe the GOP will support them.
