Christie Torn Between Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi

‘Bruce – his music is still my favorite music’

TAPPER: “This weekend is the 40th anniversary of the release of the amazing album ‘Born to Run.’ I read something in the press that really upset me the other day, where you were quoted as saying -- and maybe it was a misquote -- but you were quoted as saying that, when it came to your favorite New Jersey musician, it was no longer the Boss, Mr. Bruce Springsteen. It was Jon Bon Jovi. If this is true, I have to warn you, I might form a PAC, a super PAC, and run ads against you. Would you clear this up? And how can you justify such an egregious flip-flop?” (Laughter)

CHRISTIE: “It's not an egregious flip-flop. What she was asking was, what Laura Ingraham was asking both me and Mary Pat was, as a friend, who do you prefer, Springsteen or Bon Jovi?”

TAPPER: “As a person?”

CHRISTIE: “Yes, as a person. And Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi are friends of ours.”

TAPPER: “Oh, they're lovely people, absolutely.”

CHRISTIE: “And they're good friends of ours. And that was the answer. Bruce's music is still my favorite music. Come on. Are you kidding?”
