Everyone mocking Christie for his weight should consider listening to what he's actually saying. As far as I've seen, Christie has been the most active politician in advocating for further addiction treatment and awareness, which is a serious issue. If a Democrat was saying what's he saying in this video, verbatim, he/she would be lauded and congratulated.

I'm often skeptical of the clinical language of addiction in that it usually makes it sound like all people who use any drugs whatsoever have major problems functioning in life, but it's nice to see a politician (republican no less) speaking frankly and passionately to have compassion on addicts, which I think at the end of the day is something we still know very little about.

I love this guy. I really do, i think hes the best. He's also funny ass hell, but i hate when people criticize, and bully him. " IT'S NOT COOL, NO ONE BUT GOD IS PERFECT" Let that sink in... He's a good man who's had some problems in life, just like we all have. I Pray for Chris Christie so that god may allow him to be done with the drugs. God bless u and your family my boy, and good luck. 🙏🙏🙏

Christie would know. He's addicted to McDonald's.

The average drug addict has less issues than this 500lb of processed food

I don't like Christy, but he's right on this one. I don't know what kind of person would dislike this

it's a choice not a disease, , , , I hate when people label drugs, alcohol, smoking,as a disease, , People choose to do those things people don't choose diseases

What about addiction to greed for money by wealth hoarders ? Is that a disease too ?

Addiction begins with the choice to try

The disease model of addiction is wrong. Addiction is not the same at cancer, no matter what AA and organizations like it say.
