While Super Tuesday belonged to Secretary Hillary Clinton and billionaire baron Donald Trump, it was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who actually stole the show.
Or, should we say, Christie’s hilariously blank look and alternately confused glare actually stole the show and had social media erupting with laughter.
Christie (R-N.J.) endorsed Trump soon after “suspending” his own Presidential campaign and stood behind Trump as the bombastic, rambunctious Republican leading candidate delivered his speech and fielded questions from reporters.
Christie’s facial expressions got more than 70 thousand mentions on Twitter by Tuesday evening. These are some of the funniest.
Christie looks like the shell-shocked spouse at a press conference where the politician husband just admitted he has a thing for hookers.
