Chris Christie Rips Off Ted Cruz? Against Hillary, ‘I’ll Beat Her Rear End’

Chris Christie Rips Off Ted Cruz? Against Hillary, ‘I’ll Beat Her Rear End’

A possible title for this ongoing Republican primary race: “Fifty Shades of Crazy.”

While campaigning Wednesday morning in New Hampshire, Christie boasted of the threat that he would pose to Hillary Clinton in a general election debate.

“You know the last person she wants to see on that stage in September — you’re looking at him. You know why? She’s been running away from federal prosecutors for the last six months. Man, she sees a federal prosecutor on the stage — I’ll beat her rear end on that stage. And you know what, after I do, she’ll be relieved ’cause she’ll just be worried I was gonna serve her with a subpoena. It’ll be a relief just to lose the debate.”

This remark might sound familiar — because it perfectly resembles something Ted Cruz said a month ago while campaigning in Iowa.

“We do know that Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, ‘Well, gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack while we were out telling the American people it wasn’t,'” Cruz said. (And no, that wasn’t an actual, direct quote from Hillary Clinton.)

He continued: “You know I’ll tell you in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the 5-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking. Well, in America the voters have a way of administering a spanking.”

Well, this campaign sure is striking the right tone.

Update: In fact, we at The National Memo have just obtained what we believe might be an exclusive video of Chris Christie attempting to make good on his threat against Hillary Clinton.

It may come as a surprise to hear that I actually agree with Donald Trump on something: America does have a two-tiered system of justice. In fact, you could say I beat him to it since I reached that conclusion long before the former president adopted it as his mantra.
