WASHINGTON (AP) - Making a rare Capitol Hill appearance, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday encouraged the GOP's newest members of Congress to embrace compromise and common ground as they shift to a governing role following their party's midterm rout.

New Jersey is ugly and insignificant to America. Why would anyone think what this man says is important?

He’s nothing but a loud mouth idiot.

Always has been, always will be.
