A recent video which has gone viral shows former New Jersey Governor and failed presidential candidate Chris Christie and former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci engaging in an odd display of camaraderie, sharing a kiss in front of a swarm of photographers. The footage, which has left many both mocking and bewildered, depicts Christie embracing Scaramucci before turning to kiss him on the cheek at the last second. The pair then continue to pose for the cameras.
This unexpected public display has stirred quite a reaction online, with numerous social media users poking fun at the incident. One user, ALX, who posted the video on Twitter, called attention to the awkwardness. Scaramucci, quick to respond, mocked ALX, suggesting he was hiding his identity and taking unnecessary jabs at Christie. This exchange continued as ALX defended the post, stating it was meant to point out Christie’s unsavory nature.
Criticism and humor abounded, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. Comments ranged from allusions to an “Italian custom” to suggesting that the kiss was more fleeting than Scaramucci’s short-lived tenure in the White House. Others made light of it, joking that Christie simply wiped mustard from Scaramucci’s lips.
Both Christie and Scaramucci have been vocal in their dissent against former President Donald Trump, seemingly fixated on undermining his influence within the GOP. In a CNN appearance, Scaramucci doubled down on his anti-Trump rhetoric, labeling Trump as a “very dangerous guy” who should be nowhere near the White House. He didn’t shy away from declaring his intention to back President Joe Biden come election time, showcasing an alarming support for the current administration’s questionable policies.
It’s clear that their disdain for Trump has only deepened, potentially driving desperate, outlandish displays such as this one. For ultra-conservatives and liberty-minded individuals, this serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which establishment Republicans will go to remain relevant and undermine true conservative movements. The time is now to support leaders who genuinely uphold the values of liberty, personal freedom, and constitutional integrity – qualities clearly absent in both Christie and Scaramucci.
