Ingraham Grills Christie on Low Poll Ratings, ‘Shut Up’ Remarks [Full Q&A]

Ingraham Grills Christie on His Low 2016 Polling and His ‘Shut Up’ Remarks (Mediaite)

In lieu of a traditional speech before the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference, Gov.Chris Christie (R-NJ) sat down with radio host Laura Ingraham for a series of questions on his brutish reputation, his low 2016 polling, his stance on social issues, and how he would differentiate himself from other possible 2016 contenders.

Asked about his reputation for “brash” and “loud” responses to criticism, Christie said the people who call him such words forget the real adjective: “Passionate.” When Ingraham brought up his infamous “sit down and shut up” remark to a heckler, he drew audience applause by responding that “Sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shut up.”
