Sarah Palin says New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got his “panties in a wad†when he called GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich an “embarrassment” to the Republican Party. Click below to read the rest of the story.
Calling it a “rookie mistake,†the gaffe-prone former Alaska governor said Christie’s “response to what the media was asking him was reflective of a lack of self-discipline.â€
“Sometimes if your candidate loses … you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things that you regret later,†Palin said Monday — without any hint of irony — on the Fox Business Network. “And I think that’s what Chris Christie did.â€
Christie, a supporter of Mitt Romney, ripped Gingrich after he trounced Romney in the South Carolina primary.
“He’s been in office a year or two is all, and he’ll learn that the media goad you,†she said of Christie.
“They want you to say things like that in order to boost ratings and make it more of a reality show-type scenario that we’re watching in the GOP primary.â€
