Chris Christie got into a fiery exchange with Vivek Ramaswamy during Wednesday night’s fourth GOP debate, calling out the entrepreneur and fellow White House contender for repeatedly interrupting and blasting him for his attacks against fellow candidate Nikki Haley.

“This is the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in America. So shut up for a little while,” Christie said during the event, hosted by The Hill’s sister news organization NewsNation.

The former New Jersey governor had offered a summary of Ramaswamy’s stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which Ramaswamy denied was correct.

“It’s exactly what you said. You do this at every debate,” Christie said.

When Ramaswamy interjected, Christie said, “You go out on the stump and you say something, all us see it on video, we confront you out on the debate stage. You say you didn’t say it, and then you back away.”

    I came here to say the same. It’s the most obnoxious word in headlines; it must be some sort of click-bait research result from the last few years.

      Theres no creativity anymore, I bet most of it is AI spam these days. Most analysis is just surface-level, sometimes even just straight up wrong. The other one that drives me nuts is “this” where they try to get you to click on the link and rake in some ad revinue, I just hate ads so much it makes me do the oposite lol

        I don’t want creative journalists. I want objective reporting of facts (which you won’t see from The Hill)
