Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) reportedly dinged longtime chum Donald Trump on the weekend with a funny story about "basically" contracting COVID-19 from the former president.
"I joke about Donald. however, I'm still basically proud to have provided some help to his administration. I suggest, I gave Donald Trump my undying loyalty, and as we discovered this week, he truly gave me COVID," Christie advised a closed-door gathering of The Gridiron membership in Washington D.C., per Politico Playbook.
Christie and Trump had been both hospitalized with coronavirus in October 2020.
Trump reportedly known as Christie at the time to ask, "Are you going to claim you obtained it from me?"
closing week, former Trump White condo chief of body of workers Mark Meadows alleged in his new publication that Trump tested positive for the contagion three days earlier than the primary election debate with Joe Biden. When a second examine back bad, Trump carried on with his time table as common, together with time with Christie.
also in his speech at the weekend, Christie reportedly mocked Trump with a gag about former first lady Melania Trump:
"I'm longing for the future of my birthday celebration. I suggest, just look at Virginia … Glenn Youngkin received the governor's race … via benefitting from the Trump identify without ever standing within the identical room as him. You know who he discovered that method from? Melania Trump, really."
And this line about Trump's aversion to studying:
"i used to be a little involved that Donald can be upset when he read [my new book]. but then I remembered: It's a e-book; no possibility."
Christie has in fresh weeks publicly entreated Trump to desert his 2020 election conspiracy theories for the sake of the GOP and the country. but critics have accused the former governor of just being on a "media rehabilitation tour" ahead of a possible 20 24 run for president.
