Senator Marco Rubio’s recent not-so-funny sarcastic joke about the deadly winter storm that hit the Northeast this past weekend has angered the often-times angry Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ).
Both Christie and Rubio are running for president and vying for the same establishment GOP vote, so for Christie to ding Rubio on this issue, it was expected.Christie called Rubio’s remark a sign of “immaturity.
Here is what Rubio said:

Christie’s response to Rubio:
“That’s a difference “between a United States senator who has never been responsible for anything and a governor who is responsible for everything that goes on in your state… “Fourteen people died across the country. And that shows a real immaturity from Senator Rubio to be joking as families were freezing in the cold, losing power, and some of them losing their loved ones.”
Rubio’s campaign response:
“Chris Christie wasn’t even going to return to New Jersey until he was shamed into it…Christie should worry less about Marco’s jokes and more about his own liberal record on gun control, judges and abortion.”-Alex Conant, Rubio campaign spox
Both Christie and Rubio, as well as every other Republican presidential candidate that isn’t named Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, fighting to stay relevant in a race that seems to be all but over.
