Chris Christie likens Ramaswamy to Barack Obama: ‘Amateur tendencies’

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie slammed his fellow GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, likening him to Democrat former President Barack Obama.

Christie went after Ramaswamy during Wednesday’s debate following the tech entrepreneur’s statement that the “climate change agenda is a hoax.”

“No, hold on, hold on. Enough,” Christie said. “I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT.”

“He stands up here, and the last person in one of these debates, Brett, 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 tendencies tonight,” Christie added.

Christie’s slam referenced Ramaswamy’s answer to his first presidential debate question.
