Chris Christie gets booed at Faith and Freedom Coalition conference

Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie earned boos from a crowd at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference on Friday after criticizing former President Donald Trump.

Christie, a former New Jersey governor, has thrown his hat into the ring for the Republican nomination and has generated headlines for his unrestrained criticism of the race's frontrunner.

"Why am I running for president of the United States? I’m running because [Trump’s] let us down. He has let us down because he’s unwilling — he’s unwilling to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made," he said, per The Hill. The remark earned considerable boos from the crowd.

"You can boo all you want," came the former governor's retort.
