Christie Turns Down Sen. Paul’s Beer Summit Offer (+video)
Ouch. By Fox News. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie turned down an offer by Sen. Rand Paul to join him for a beer and bury the hatchet in their ongoing — and very public — feud.
“I’m running for re-election in New Jersey. I don’t really have time for that at the moment,” Christie said in an interview on a local radio station.
The New Jersey governor said if he finds himself in Washington, “I’ll certainly look him up.” But he added: “I don’t suspect I’ll be there anytime soon. I’ve got work to do here.”
Christie gave Paul the brush-off after the Kentucky senator, in an interview with Fox News, offered Wednesday to make nice with the Garden State guv.
“I think with Governor Christie it’s gotten a little too personal, so we’re ready to kiss and make up,” Paul told Fox News. He said “anytime he would like to come down and sit at a pub right around the corner from the Senate — we’ll have a beer.”
