For Trump Foil Chris Christie, Rest Comes In A First Class Airplane Seat

Matthew Klint Posted onJune 23, 2023November 13, 2023 76 Comments

Chris Christie will not become the GOP presidential nominee and he’s not even practically pursuing it. Instead, he sees his role as serving as a foil to derail Donald Trump from becoming president again. And that apparently is hard work, judging by how quickly Christie passed out in his first class seat on a regional jet.

Chris Christie Passes Out In First Class

As noted by View From The Wing, Heather Mullins noticed the former New Jersey governor and his wife on her flight, then noticed how the governor quickly passed out. Keeping up with the bombastic ex-President, now facing multiple criminal indictments, is hard work!

— Heather Mullins (@TalkMullins) June 22, 2023

Describing his campaign, Christie has said:

“We’ve had leaders who have led us to being small — small by their example, small by the way they conduct themselves, small by the things they tell us we should care about.Donald Trump made us smaller by dividing us even further and pitting one group against another…

“The person I am talking about — who is obsessed with the mirror, who never admits a mistake, who never admits a fault, and who always find someone else and something else to blame for whatever goes wrong but finds every reason to take credit for anything that goes right is Donald Trump.”

But after a long day on the campaign trail, Christie just needed to pass out.

Mullins did not only heap scorn, praising him for holding his wife’s hand:

I landed, looked over my shoulder, & he looked RIGHT at me & gave a nod. He knows! LOL! Someone must have told him he went viral while in the air. It was honestly cute that he & his wife were holding hands, I hold no ill will, but stop 💩ing on Trump to fail at getting ahead. https://t.co/LcLRcKxMr0

— Heather Mullins (@TalkMullins) June 22, 2023

Her tweet did go viral and it seems Christie was fine with it.

Ok, so a politician is asleep on the plane. Big deal, right? Well, I think the point is that this will be a very interesting election cycle and perhaps the only respite we will get is when we are on an airplane. Let’s hope so…

Maybe she’d like it if someone tweeted picture of her picking her nose on the plane. And she’s pretty basic looking, not a beauty at all and certainly not someone Trump would be seen with

      He probably ate another extra 100lbs right back. You can’t lose weight (permanently) if you don’t change your diet habits, even if you have the cash to do weight loss surgeries.

    The thing that leftists don’t realize is the actual heavy majority of Republicans and Conservatives consider people like Christie and the near entirety of Republican leadership in congress and most state houses to be rinos who are basically liberals who want lower taxes and oppose abortions. We despise them more than leftists because they undermine us from within. A leftist hates us and tells us so. A rino hates us, pretends to be on our side, and fails to use power to stop leftists from harming or hurting us. Trump wasn’t a rino but he didn’t have the brain to do anything other than talk big and waste his immense power as he had 100 million followers waiting for orders and all he told them was do nothing as leftists destroyed the country.

    I don’t think there’s any harm in taking a nap on an RJ. The wifi doesn’t work very well anyway, and it’s likely a short flight.

    Deep in the last election season, I was on a fairly empty flight (AUS-ELP) in which Beto O’Rourke happened to be a passenger. I saw him speaking on the phone outside of the AC, I asked his aide when he’d be done, and she told me to say ‘hi’ on the plane. I assumed he’d be up front with me, but he wasn’t. I had to walk back to Y to introduce myself. Personally, I don’t have an issue with pols flying up front. It’s just interesting to me seeing who chooses to, and who chooses not to. Beto’s upgrade certainly would have cleared on this flight, but he probably prefers to be seen in the back.
