Yeah, he’s a RINO, but nobody smacks lefty hecklers down like Christie.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie gave a group of Occupy protesters here a taste of his Jersey charm when they disrupted a rally he was headlining in support of presidential candidate Mitt Romney Wednesday night.
“You’re so angry aren’t you?” Christie said, mocking the protesters to the delight of the crowd. “Work it all out. Work it all out for yourselves.”
Several minutes into his remarks at the headquarters of the Iowa-based Kum and Go business, at least a dozen protesters who blended into the audience wearing stickers for Romney’s presidential campaign began shouting phrases like, “Make Wall Street pay.”
“Chris Christie and Mitt Romney are the corporate one percent,” a group of protesters yelled in unison as the crowd booed them down.
The protesters continued to yell a variety of phrases before being ushered out of the event.
“I hope you all enjoyed it. They’ll be working at the Marriott down the street. Please remember to tip your waiters and waitresses,” Christie said as the protesters left.
