“I could be talking about the Iran nuclear deal and I’d get a response from someone on email or Twitter or Facebook or wherever that says, ‘You’re fat SOB You blah, blah, blah,'” he says in the second episode of Bash’s “Being…” series, which airs in full on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET. “I said, ‘Okay, what does that have to do with the Iran nuclear deal?’ One of the great things for me – and like I said, I think it makes it harder for me – is that no one sees that as a problem.”
Commenting on the fact that public comments about someone’s physical appearance have generally become unacceptable in recent years, Christie told Bash that “it’s unusual for me to seeing as that applies to everything about a person except weight.”
Christie, whose new book “Rescuing the Republican Party: Saving the Party from Truth-Destructors, Conspirators and Joe Biden’s Dangerous Policies” is out Tuesday, also said that on At the end of his second governor’s term, he received a substantial amount of gifts related to his weight.
“Almost all of them from people who have never met me.” This is how you have to lose weight. Here’s what you have to do. Here’s what you have to do for your weight. Do this, that,” he said. “I’m talking about a few hundred books, flyers, things that are sent to me as ‘gifts’ to me about my weight.”
But Christie, a failed candidate in the 2016 Republican primary who once served as an adviser to former President Donald Trump, says he thinks the public struggle with His weight has allowed a number of people to relate to him.
“There are a lot of people with weight problems in this country and they look at me and they can relate to me in a different way than people who don’t,” he said.
