Chris Christie says his kids blame themselves for daddy’s faux paus that fateful day he took them to a public beach that he closed during the budget fight. But he corrected his kids by telling them that “no he was the dumbass that day”

OK I paraphrased the quote but yes sir, you certainly were the dumbass because you showed everyone the ignorance of a politician and their abuse of power. Applause for you – PB/TK

Chris Christie Complains that ‘Beachgate’ Controversy Hurt His Children – By Adam Shaw / July 28 2017

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday that the scandal last month in which he was photographed on a public beach that he himself had closed as part of a government shut down — an event that turned Christie into a viral meme — “hurt” his children.

“They were more hurt by this latest episode than they’ve been hurt by anything else that has happened in the eight years and they don’t understand people’s unfairness and, quite frankly, their ignorance,” an apparently unrepentant Christie said during a New Jersey radio show, according to NJ.com.

Christie had closed all public beaches and parks for the Fourth of July weekend after the state legislature was unable to reach a budget agreement. However, his tough stance backfired spectacularly when the governor and his family were pictured sunning themselves on a public beach outside the governor’s residence by a helicopter rented out by NJ Advance Media.

Christie was widely criticized for his tone-deaf move, and to make matters worse, the image of Christie in a t-shirt and baseball cap, sunning himself in a deckchair, quickly became a viral sensation — with keen Photoshoppers placing the relaxing governor in a wide range of unlikely spots.
