When Politics Get Personal: Politicians’ Most Insulting Slurs & Feuds

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Insults Everyone

Over the years, it hasn’t been uncommon for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) to take aim at his opponents. He once called an openly gay lawmaker “numbnuts.” He labeled a Navy SEAL an “idiot” and called the state Senate budget committee chairman an “arrogant SOB.” Angry at state Sen. Loretta Weinberg( D), he suggested that reporters “take a bat” to her, even though she was a grandmotherly figure in her 70s. He is one of the least popular governors in the United States and failed to receive the presidential nomination when he ran for office in 2016.
