Chris Christie caught on a hot mic bashing his former rivals

Minutes before Chris Christie suspended his presidential campaign, he was caught on a hot mic bashing his former rivals. We presume he is speaking about Nikki Haley here but we cannot say for sure since he doesn’t name her. NBC News will reach out to the campaign for clarification and get a response. The comments were caught on a livestream feed before Christie began a town hall event in Windham, N.H. The video has since been taken down.

He knows & doesn't care he's on mic. He's just speaking the truth.

[admiralackbar]

caught? He is doing it into their faces! On camera!

[Titus_Vespasianus]

He's not bashing...he's just speaking the truth...

[haydenmalesky]

I love how “bashing” is stating the truth. 😄

[sacmom]

Politicians that have been in the game as long as Christie, don’t make these mistakes. He knew his mic was on.

[jaynook]

He’s the one telling the truth, like him or not

[falconx]

He’s speaking the truth. Maybe to those that can’t take it, they’ll call it bashing.

[sbkenn]

Get the money out of politics. Sponsors expect payback. I.e they are bribes.

[carolemonroe]

Good, at least he makes sense, and bashes trump.

[allanongful]

Way to go Governor Chris. Hope you win the primary. If Trump win. I will vote for Joe.

[joeycrooker]

What a waste of knows it, how disgraceful

[USMC-]

This is not a “hot mic”
Gotcha moment. He would say all of this in public because he’s telling the truth.

[DougWilliams-kdzh]

DeSantis has no Elvis, Nikki is a lightweight.Looks like Trump the Treasonist is the hill you chose....😂😁

[artmv]

I don't like this dude but he's the best option for the GOP, to keep their party alive.

[JamesMorgan-nequ]

Like he doesn't know the Mic is hot

[dafodaldan]

I am so sorry Chris Cristie for dropping out!

[ilaser]

Even $12 million is a ridiculous amount to spend.... Crazy!

[OZZYMD-S]

Imagine how many people they could help out with that, its not an investment for the people its an investment for them self

Politicians don't care about the people

[todayschef]

Every one in competition with Chris Christie is "punching above their weightclass"

[janpercell-phig]

If Christy spent only 12k he definitely did some damage!! Go Chris keep up the ridicule!
