Chris Christie: Vivek Ramaswamy is a ‘jacka**’

Both Christie and Ramaswamy were especially unrestrained in their verbal attacks. Ramaswamy, currently in fourth place in most national polls, has been known for his aggressive stance in previous debates. His attacks included a jab at Christie’s weight and a reference to a past scandal involving Christie’s allies, who allegedly closed a bridge as political retribution. Post-debate, in an interview with CNN, Christie expressed his exasperation with Ramaswamy, saying, “He is a jacka**.” He further criticised Ramaswamy for his behavior towards women.
