NJ Gov. Chris Christie Slams Donald Trump's 2005 Remarks About Women as 'Completely Indefensible'
By MORGAN WINSOR - Oct 11, 2016, 10:25 AM ET
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, one of Donald Trump’s staunchest advocates, denounced the Republican presidential candidate’s lewd comments about women in a leaked 2005 tape, saying he was with Trump when the video surfaced.
“Let’s be really clear, it is completely indefensible,” Christie told Craig Carton on WFAN this morning when asked about the audio. “I won’t defend it and haven’t defended it. That kind of talk and conversation, even in private, is just unacceptable.”
While co-hosting WFAN’s “Boomer and Carton Show” in New York City this morning, Christie weighed in on the hot-mic conversation between Trump and former “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush. In the recording, Trump is heard talking about how he tried to have an affair with a married woman and describing how he makes moves on women, which some critics have likened to sexual assault.
The Republican governor, who dropped out of the 2016 presidential race in February, said he was with Trump when the recording was leaked and advised the real estate developer to offer a sincere apology. Christie also told the GOP presidential nominee that he was “upset,” “disturbed” and “disappointed” by his vulgar remarks.
“I made that very clear to Donald on Friday when this first came out and, you know, urged him to be contrite and apologetic because that’s what he needs to be,” Christie said. “This is just, you know, stuff that you just can’t, can’t be involved in and shouldn’t even be thinking.”
