Joe Scarborough: Chris Christie Is ‘Chicken…’
That’s how the MSNBC host described the New Jersey governor’s refusal to meet with the parents of Sandy Hook victims.
Scarborough: I think it’s kind of chicken “something,” which I won’t say on the air. It’s chicken, we’ll say “salad,” for Chris Christie to not meet with these families for at least five to 10 minutes, hypocritical. How about being humane? And the reason Chris can’t do that is the logic, the ten precious children, it’s so convoluted that I don’t think he could say that with a straight face. I think he would be embarrassed to say that to parents who lost their children. Saying that if you support only ten, only a clip of ten rounds in a clip that somehow you’re saying those ten children aren’t precious?

It’s pretty pathetic when even Joe S. is capable of calling out Christie’s callous betrayal of parents everywhere in not signing the meager bullet control restrictions that the N.J. Legislature passed.

Joe must be either forgetful or just doing the parading of himself above a tragedy, probably both. There were 20 little ones that were slaughtered at Sandy Hook, not 10.

Based on data provided by his bean counters, Christie has decided that the number of lives saved by reducing accessibility to extended magazines is not worth the wrath that he would receive from the NRA and gun manufacturing lobbyists.

What a Train wreck! Christie is afraid of pissing off his few remaining NRA & Koch bros backers by meeting with the parents of murdered school kids who want answers on the Gubers Vetoing responsible gun violence solutions. His only achievement is excelling at unanimous failures.
