Protesters Invade Christie Fundraiser In Asbury Park

Sure, he just made the cut and doesn’t have to sit at the “kiddies’ table” this Thursday at 5pmEDT. Chris Christie will be one of ten contenders, along with returning reality show champion Donald Trump, in the first action-packed prime time GOP debate of the already too-long presidential campaign season.

Otherwise, things continue to go poorly for the candidate.

ASBURY PARK – The doors to Asbury Park Convention Hall burst open at a little after 5:30 p.m. and a few hundred public sector labor members and their allies volubly stampeded the indoor entrance area to Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential fundraiser.

“Hey hey, ho ho, Chris Christie has got to go,” yelled the red T-shirted crowd of Communications Workers of America (CWA) and New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) allies as they tramped through the hall.

Along with representatives of labor and teachers’ unions were several prominent New Jersey Democrats, including assemblywoman Marie Corfield (L), who famously questioned Christie during a 2010 town hall and found herself on the receiving end of one of the rotund Republican governor’s condescending rants.

It was none too fun for Republicans attending the event:

There was some protester-fundraiser heel-to-toe action as the likes of former Assemblyman Dick Kamin, a Christie backer…, hot stepped it into the big, high-ceilinged room on his way into the event amid sign-shaking and bullhorn-powered labor backers.

Because nothing can ruin your day more than hearing the truth from the rabble! ‘Nuff said.

Hat tip from The Doc to the good folks at our favorite Facebook Christie “fan” page who alerted us to the fun.

    I just seen this story on Rachel Maddow and the booing he received was pretty bad for a governor who claimed his ratings took a nosedive because New Jersey residents don’t want him to leave.

      The more he opens his mouth, the more pie he shoves in.

      • Suzanne McFly August 5th, 2015 at 11:32

        Well it is crap that comes out so he must be eating cow pies.

          There is one good thing to say for old fashioned politics. By now, his ass would have been covered in hot tar and feathers and run out o town. Today he IS a contender for president of the United States.

            Ahhhh, the differences a couple centuries makes.

            • The Original Just Me August 6th, 2015 at 14:51

              Yes it sure does, have you checked the price of tar lately ?

      • rg9rts August 6th, 2015 at 12:53

        Cow pie

        • The Original Just Me August 6th, 2015 at 14:52

          His aids carry a tooth brush and mouth wash for him all the time. Paid for by the tax payers of coarse.

    I can hear fox news now, they were plants but little do they know that people really hate this bully and no “community organizing” was not needed in bringing these angry people out! Haha!

    The BIG BOY get’s to sit at the BIG TABLE. I do hope they bring in a special big chair for him. It would totally ruin his career if his chair collapsed during the debate.

    He was done from the start. Not even a chance now.

  7. amersham46 August 5th, 2015 at 18:58
