He is just plain hateful and spiteful in his Harvard talk.

"The antiunion message was well received by the crowd, which applauded when the governor delivered his harshest criticisms of the NJEA."

"Graduate student Jenny Hanson, 29, ended the 30-minute question and answer portion by asking Christie why he uses words like "thuggery," "fight" and "disrupter" in dealing with the union and if he has ever considered that his approach might not be working.

The governor paused for a moment, lowered the tone of his voice and told Hanson he often thinks about the approach he has taken with the union. He said he is willing to sit down and talk with the unions, but only once they demonstrate they’re willing to get on board.

"I am prepared to ratchet down the rhetoric if I could get any indication that there is any interest in changing the failed system," Christie said. "Until that time, ‘disrupted’ and ‘fighting’ and ‘thuggery’ are the words that I’m going to continue to use."

Arrogant sob.
