In the first ten seconds of Christie being “booed” on stage, he nodded along and said, “Yeah, well now it feels like home, thank you all very much. Let me first thank the chairman, and everyone here…yep.”
Christie addressed the boos in his speech, “Now look, every one of those boos, everyone one of those cat calls, everyone one of those yells will not solve one problem we face in this country, will not make this country better.”
“Your anger…your anger…your anger against the truth is reprehensible,” said Christie amid the shouts from the audience.
Despite all the loud calls from the people, Christie continued, “When you think about the problems that our country and this world is facing when you think about that, this type of pettiness … is beneath … the process of electing a president.”
“And as people watch today if your arguments are so strong, if your arguments are so great, and mine are so bad, then just keep quiet, let me make my awful arguments, and then you can just reject them out of hand, but the problem is you fear the truth,” added Christie.
