Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was booed while walking on stage at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit event on Saturday.

“Now look, every one of those boos, everyone one of those cat calls, everyone one of those yells will not … solve one problem we face in this country,” Christie said. “Your anger against the truth is reprehensible.”

Between jeers, the former New Jersey governor tried to tell the crowd of Trump supporters that their energy is better spent elsewhere.

You reap what you sow.

Back in 2009 Christie torpedoed a long planned New York / New Jersey tunnel project, because he didn't want Obama to get credit. The money was already earmarked, so it got spent somewhere else. Screwed his own people out of jobs and infrastructure to make points with the extreme Right.

Now he's shocked that the wolves he fed are still hungry.
