In a viral moment captured during a commercial break for the fourth GOP debate on Thursday, a visibly irked Chris Christie approached the moderator table and exchanged words with Megyn Kelly.
Keep in mind that this happened just after Christie’s heated exchange with Vivek Ramaswamy – you know, the one where Ramaswamy told him to “Do everybody a favor, walk yourself off this stage, enjoy a nice meal, and get the hell out of this race.”
The original video did not pick up on what Christie said, but led to widespread online speculation as it made its rounds on social media.

The off-air moment quickly became one of the highlights of Thursday’s debate, showcasing just how dysfunctional and unhinged the whole thing was!
Folks had some hilarious ideas about what Christie could possibly be talking about with Ms. Kelly:
He was just asking Megyn where the nice meals are

But now, Megyn Kelly has opened up about the true reason why he confronted her.
Discussing the incident on The Megyn Kelly show, she said that Chris Christie “was pissed off. He was mad that he wasn’t getting enough questions and he said, ‘you know, I made it up on this stage and I haven’t been able to speak in a while and, you know, I should’ve been brought in on that last debate.’ And you know, I had a couple minds of it. I said ‘we’re coming to you. You’re gonna be happy in the second hour,’ which I lived up to.”

Resist the Mainstream has more details:
During a recent debate for the 2024 Republican presidential candidates, a moment involving Chris Christie and Megyn Kelly caught significant attention.
This incident occurred during a commercial break, following a heated exchange between Christie and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The interaction between Christie and Kelly, along with the two other moderators, was captured on video and quickly became a topic of widespread online speculation.
Megyn Kelly, the Sirius XM host, disclosed the details of her conversation with Christie during this break. She described Christie as visibly frustrated, primarily due to his perception of receiving inadequate opportunities to speak during the debate.
“He was pissed off. He was mad that he wasn’t getting enough questions and he said, ‘you know, I made it up on this stage and I haven’t been able to speak in a while and, you know, I should’ve been brought in on that last debate.’ And you know, I had a couple minds of it. I said ‘we’re coming to you. You’re gonna be happy in the second hour,’ which I lived up to,” Kelly said on her show.

The Washington Examiner added:
Megyn Kelly confirmed what 2024 hopeful Chris Christie told her during a break at the fourth GOP debate on Thursday.
Kelly addressed a viral clip that captured Christie talking to her at the moderator table on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show. Christie used the first break to approach Kelly, “getting up in my grill,” according to the moderator.
“There was also such a speculation about what was happening there. I will tell you what was happening there. It was not off the record. He was pissed off. He was mad that he wasn’t getting enough questions,” Kelly said. “And he said, ‘I made it up in this stage and I haven’t been able to speak in a while and you know I should’ve been brought in on that last debate.'”
So, there you have it folks.
Chris Christie was pitching a fit about not being able to run his mouth more on the debate stage.
Is anyone surprised?
He’s mad because he didn’t get more time to trash President Trump.
