First GOP Debate: Chris Christie calls Vivek Ramaswamy ‘ChatGPT’ after entrepreneur says other candidates are ‘bought and paid for’

The former Governor of New Jersey slammed Vivek Ramaswamy and even compared him to Barrack Obama due to his remarks

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: The first GOP Debate leading to the 2024 Presidential race was in full swing when the former Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, took a jab at first-time Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for his demeaning remark about the rest of the candidates.

The American entrepreneur commented that he was the only person on the panel who had “not been bought by anyone.”

This angered Christie, who had been keeping mum until that moment. The former federal prosecutor jumped in to give Vivek a taste of his own medicine, calling him a man who sounded like AI chatbot Chat GPT.

Chris Christie slams Republican Vivek Ramaswamy for demeaning comment

Vivek Ramaswamy was coming off too strong for the rest of the candidates on the panel. He took it up a notch when he declared that he’s the “only candidate on stage who isn't bought and paid for.”

After making that remark, he continued, “Let me say this. Climate change is a hoax.” He went on to add, “More people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.”

This was followed by a string of boos from the crowd until the former Governor of New Jersey stepped in and tried to blow Vivek out of the water.

Chris Christie said, “I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT.”

Christie then mocked Vivek for trying to replicate Barack Obama’s style and tactic by stating that he used the same “skinny guy” remark to introduce himself just like Obama did when he was seeking the nomination.

He later called Vivek an “amateur” and looked entirely displeased by his presence on the panel.

One viewer said, “Vivek is trying to be Obama and it is not working,” while a second said, “LMAOOOOOO…. Chris Christie: “I’m already done with ChatGPT (Vivek) up here.” Thank you, Chris Christie for saying what we all wanted to say.”

A third mentioned, “Daaaaamn ChatGPT though? #GOPDebate.” A fourth said, “That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a prez debate.”

A fifth person stated, “Christie's ChatGTP was a good line. It'll stick, even if you like the guy. I like the guy but he's too jejune.”
