Christie says Democratic hopeful in Montana governor's race deceived him into trolling GOP opponent

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday blasted Montana Democratic Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney for unwittingly using him to troll his Republican opponent in the state's gubernatorial race.

In a Cameo video message posted earlier Thursday to Cooney's Twitter account, Christie pleads with a person named "Greg," urging them to move back to New Jersey. Cameo is a website that allows users to pay for personalized video messages from celebrities, sports figures or musical artists.

Cooney's campaign appears to have used Christie to take a swipe at his opponent in the race, Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte. The congressman moved to Montana in the 1990s and has strong ties to New Jersey, a point Democrats have seized on in their campaign against him.

In the video, Christie declares he has a "special message" for "Greg," who he said "left Jersey some time ago for work and that happens sometimes, but Jersey never quite leaves you, does it?"

He goes on to list famous things New Jersey is known for, including Taylor ham, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and the Jersey Shore.

"We've got all that stuff back here that is waiting for you. But more than anything else, Mike, and your whole family, they want you back here," Christie said.

"So listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You can come back voluntarily, or maybe, they'll send me out to get you. I don't think that's what you want, Greg. So get yourself back to Jersey quick, and let's have some Jersey fun and be Jersey strong. Get back here Greg, we need you."

Christie tore into Cooney after the ruse was made clear.

He should just find an equally irrelevant Democrat blowhard to do the same thing to the democrat. Turnabout is fair play.

Christie is a far too willing cunt that enjoys attacking Republicans that he disapproves of, and that would be the most of them.
