Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said America needs to ‘go big’ in a recent tweet leading commenters to joke about the governor’s problems with being overweight.
“America can only be great when we are willing to go big, not small. It’s time for America to go big again. That’s why I’m taking it directly to Trump tonight at a town hall in New Hampshire,” Christie said.
Christie, who has been battling with obesity, unfairly became the target of jokes after the post. Those jokes mirrored those he has endured since becoming a public figure.
Christie, who had a lap band surgery performed in 2013 has still struggled with his obesity issues.
“Ya might want to use different talking points. “Go Big” isn’t a good optic for an obese man like yourself,” one commenter replied.
“You’re already big, you need to be smaller,” another replied.
Dozens of ill-spirited responses followed.
Christie is still at the bottom of the pack in 2024 presidential polls.
