Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie made his annoyance with Hugh Hewitt crystal clear during a contentious Thursday morning clash, telling the conservative radio host that this was the least “substantive” interview he’s ever done.
With most GOP polls showing the former New Jersey governor stuck in the low single digits and Christie seemingly placing all his hopes on a decent showing in the early primary state of New Hampshire, Hewitt continually pressed Christie to drop out and give other candidates a better shot at beating Donald Trump.
While Hewitt tried to convince Christie to bow out and give former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley a boost ahead of New Hampshire’s primary, the right-wing talker insisted he is neutral in the race, repeatedly describing himself as “Switzerland” throughout the interview.
