In an interview that aired on Sunday, CNN’s Jake Tapper reminded the New Jersey governor that he had advised people to punch bullies “in the face” during his first term as governor.
“At the national level, who deserves a punch in the face?” Tapper wondered.
“Oh, the national teachers union,” Christie replied without hesitation. “They’re not for education for our children, they’re for greater membership, greater benefits, greater pay for their members.”
“And they are the single most destructive force in public education in America,” he added. “I’ve been saying that since 2009. I’ve got the scars to show it, but I’m never going to stop saying it because they never change their stripes.”
Christie attempts to explain his pugnacious attitude toward the NEA by saying that they are all about getting better pay, and better benefits for their teachers. (Which by the way help them to better educate our children asshole.) But he also goes out of his way to mention that they have already thrown their support behind Hillary Clinton as if he is somehow insulted that they would not wait for the GOP to choose THEIR candidate before deciding not to endorse somebody from a party that has done nothing but attack teachers and undermine education for the last fifty years or more.
You know what this makes me so fucking mad that I would like to volunteer to stand in for the NEA and receive that punch from Christie. My only stipulation is that once he has smacked me with his blubbery fist that I get a shot as well.
Trust me, it would be well worth it.
At this point the only contest that I can really see among the GOP contenders for the nomination, is which one I despise the most. It seems to change almost daily.
Today it is a toss up between Chris Christie and Donald Trump.
But hey, the day's still young.
Chris Christie suggests that the teacher's union deserves a punch in the face.
