Chris Christie Delivers Absolutely Amazing Burn of Vivek Ramaswamy
Unfortunately, you have to hand it to him.
Chris Christie had the first zinger of the Republican debate Wednesday night, attacking Vivek Ramaswamy for being like Barack Obama.
The eight leading presidential candidates, minus frontrunner Donald Trump, took the stage in Milwaukee. As Ramaswamy tried to portray himself as an outsider and a dark horse, Christie took aim.
“I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT standing up here,” the former New Jersey governor said. “The last person in one of these debates…who stood in the middle of the stage and said, ‘What’s a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here?’ was Barack Obama, and I’m afraid we’re dealing with the same type of amateur standing on the stage tonight.”
Wow Christie just slammed Ramaswamy with one of the biggest insults that could be used against a Republican. He compared him to Obama— Acyn (@Acyn)

While this was probably the most devastating comparison Christie could have made, it is also highly inaccurate. Obama is ideologically open-minded. Ramaswamy is a 9/11 denier who is mainly interested in battling“wokeness,” taking away rights, and, apparently, caving to Russia and China.
