Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's 25-year-old niece was arrested on a handful of charges, including six counts of battery, after causing a scene on a Spirit Airlines flight departing from Louis Armstrong International Airport on Thanksgiving Day, the Times-Picayune reported.

Before the plane's departure for New Jersey, Shannon Epstein reportedly made passengers uncomfortable after asking a family she perceived to be Latino if they were "smuggling cocaine," Capt. Jason Rivarde of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office told the Times-Picayune.

After employees requested she be removed from the flight, Epstein resisted and began struggling with deputies, the Times-Picayune reported.

Six deputies were injured, including one who was bit by Epstein. Another deputy was kicked in the groin, the outlet reported.

Maybe she wasn’t being rude/racist. Perhaps she was just looking for some coke to make the flight more pleasant.

I'm no Christie fan but c'mon...

Are we really responsible for the behavior of our nieces and nephews?

But did any of them deny it?

When she thinks her uncle is a get-outta-jail-free card, yeah, he bears some responsibility.

For that attitude, anyway. Betcha he’s enabled it.

So, according to the headline, only “Latino” families smuggle cocaine. Nice job by some insider down at the Insider.

It’s payback for the Covid beach closings (Except for the Chris Christie family.)

Was thinking the same. This likely was less about a drunk belligerent racist and more about a drunk party girl hoping to score some coke.

BTW, “Shannon Epstein”... those Irish-Israeli names always crack me up for some reason. Not sure why, though, as the reverse have always been a thing, e.g., “Malachi O’Malley” etc.

So now it is Chris Christie’s fault that his NIECE is a wacko and gets herself arrested.
Sorry, but I do not buy into that shi er garbage.
His Niece is different from his CHILD.
He did not raise her
He did not instill his morals on her
That is down to her parents.
You know? One of Chris Christie’s siblings.
Kinda like Hunter Biden’s PARENTS.

Indeed, she did play the "Do you know who my uncle is?" card as mentioned further down the article.

I stand corrected.
