Time for a more lighthearted story, because, hey—laughter is the best medicine!
RINO Chris Christie is an infamous Trump-hater and a guy who closely resembles a Democrat both in his policy positions and his vitriol toward the 45th President of the U.S.
The guy never shuts up about President Trump, and I totally get it—getting numerous media appearances in order to remain relevant matters when you’re in politics!
While Christie has always been an outspoken critic of President Trump, he actually got booed for it at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference today—quite a few times, according to sources.
And guess what? It was funny to watch! Enjoy:

Daily Mail, an outlet headquartered in the UK, took notice of the embarrassing moment:
Christie, who’s taking on Trump for the GOP nomination, riled up the crowd on Friday at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, which attracts an audience of Christian conservatives.
Christie started his speech by saying he planned to talk about ‘character’ before hammering the former commander-in-chief about halfway through – prompting boos and cheers of ‘we love Trump!’ from the crowd.
Christie responded by appearing on CNN to claim, “I knew that’s what was going to happen…But I’m not changing my message and pandering to anybody…I wanted to tell them the truth, and the truth is [Trump] is not a man of character.”

The Hill added that Christie met with some applause after his remarks, watch the videos above—it was a very weak applause. The outlet also explained that the Faith & Freedom Coalition mainly consists of Trump voters:
After his speech, Christie received loud cheers from some attendees who had gathered toward the back of the event to greet and take a photo with him.
But the response underscored the degree to which the event is a largely pro-Trump environment, as well as the difficulty anti-Trump candidates like Christie may have among Republican primary voters largely still loyal to Trump.
