Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie visited Israel on Sunday, becoming the first Republican presidential hopeful to visit the country since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
Christie started his trip with a tour of Kfar Azza, a kibbutz that was destroyed by Hamas militants. Speaking with reporters, he reiterated his support for Israel, saying, "I want the people of Israel to know that there are hundreds of millions of Americans who stand with them, who understand the atrocities that were committed, and why in the future we need to stand absolutely shoulder to shoulder with Israel."
He also delivered a message to Americans demonstrating in favor of a cease-fire: "Come to Israel and see it for yourself."
"We can't ask Israel to stand down if they believe there is still a legitimate violent threat against them and their people, and I think there's no question that there is," he later added.

What is Krispy Kreme’s game here? He cannot believe he is a plausible candidate for president so what is his angle? Or is he is actually barking mad?

Perhaps the IDF can use him as a bunker door.

He should bunk in Gaza while he’s there pretending to have relevancy to a cause.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Right. Like that’s going to make a difference.

Sorry, looks like electioneering. Timing was wrong—Now of he had gone on October 9th or 10th—I would believe him. He’s after votes. Now if he would have gone to Gaza with aide for Hospitals, risk his tail. That I might respect—but no politico will do that in America (Maybe France?).

Hamas’ll need to widen those tunnels.

Regardless of what you think of Christie, his actions are following his strong words.

I’m surprised Israel allowed him to enter the country. I would have told him to get lost.

If they put him in the Dead Sea, he won’t just float, he’ll fly.

Maybe they will offer Christie a tour of the tunnels and then leave him there to block the exit?

Maybe they can let him go to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, and breastfeed all those “dying” Hamas babies.

I am waiting for someone with more talent than I to photoshop this image. Israel can keep him if they want.

I hope he hurries back.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is just around the corner and he needs to be fitted with the ropes.

As if Israel didn’t have enough to worry about. Actual footage of Christie’s arrival:
