Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says he has little sympathy for Ted Cruz amid the furious backlash over his Cancun trip because the Republican Senator 'made fun' of him over his infamous beach pictures.
Christie was ridiculed in 2017 when images showed him lounging on a beach that was closed during a state shutdown.
The photos resurfaced last week and became one of the many memes mocking Cruz for deciding to flee Texas to Mexico with his family during a historic storm in his state that left millions freezing and without power.
In an interview with Fox News Radio's Guy Benson on Friday, Christie says the media is piling on Cruz because he has 'just not been a very likeable guy'.
When asked about the comparisons between his beach photos, he said: 'Listen, I have I have sympathy for anyone in public life with a family who faces those kind of really difficult decisions on a regular basis, and I face them a couple of times when I was governor,' he said.
'And I made mistakes at times because I was thinking more like a father than about the full-time job that I had. So I have sympathy in that.
'But I will tell you that, you know, it's hard to have sympathy for Ted Cruz because, you know, Ted was right on board making fun of me back in 2017 when I had that incident on the beach. And that's why I think you're seeing piling on.'

Cruz flew back to Houston 24 hours after he landed in Cancun and admitted his trip was a mistake as he faced intense scrutiny.
'I started having second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane

Although one could easily mock Christie at a beach for things that have nothing to do with politics.....
Chris, buddy, to put it charitably, the locals were lining up with buckets of water so they could keep you moist before they could tow you back out to sea.
Fight breaks out at the kid's table.
The difference is, christie was the one who closed the beach to the public.
Why are we keeping this alive? Christie has nothing relevant to add.
Are country is junior high retarded.
I guess politicians will always politician.
Christie is representative of a unique sub-species of Northeastern whale characterized by thick layers of blubber and a very thin skin.
Cruz didn't close the beach at Cancun.
Sorry, no points for Christie.

Chris Christie is Fat Democrat who tried to make love to Barack Obama and Jerry Jones on the same runway.
His schtick only works when the media doesn’t ask him
Simple and obvious questions.
Take Away the 400lbs and the Media tongue baths and you have a worthless Democrat.
It can’t be said enough, he’s no Republican.

It’s funny how the striations look like giant fingerprints. I wonder if the pattern is unique for each whale as the stripes are on a zebra—or like human fingerprints.
Christie is a back stabber. Democrats circle the wagons. Republicans circle the firing squad. IIRC Christie had some really poor behavior, optics wise, at the Rose Garden installation of Amy Coney Barrett.
And I think Chris wouldn’t let Cruz ride his brand new bike so then Cruz wouldn’t let Chris into the new treehouse or give him a ride to the game store. Feud.
Advice to both politicians: Stay off the beach. If one kicks sand at the other there will be big trouble.
Exactly. Christie and Cruz both fell off the merry-go-round. Small and petty snark from Christie today. A reasoned adult would acknowledge making a similar bonehead mistake.
You know why,
Cruz is a threat in the Senate.
That photo combination is the funniest one of the day by far.
Thanks for posting for the LOL humor.
Wonder if Franklin, Jefferson and Madison acted that way.
