You know, something may go down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart.
That was Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie this evening while campaigning for Mitt Romney. Evidently' Occupy protesters came to be heard...
This was how he responded.
At a rally meant to be all about boosting support for Mitt Romney, protesters instead took center stage, evoking colorful responses from both Romney and his outspoken surrogate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who at one time referred to one of the protestors as “sweetheart.”
“Really?” said Christie, as soon as protestors interrupted him, the second outburst of the night from the group, who had already gone after Romney. “You know, something may go down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart.”
“See it’s this confusion that’s out there because if she was in New Jersey like these Jersey girls out there she would know that we’ve created 60,000 new private sector jobs after Jon Corzine killed 120,000,” Christie said. “And if she wasn’t so blinded by her Barack Obama-induced anger, she’d know that American jobs are coming back when Mitt Romney is the next president of the United States, and if she wasn’t so disorientated by the loss of hope and change she’d understand that Mitt Romney is the hope for America’s future.”
Christie continued on, going further to blame the protestor’s anger on Obama.

Personally this is how I feel: Calling a protester 'sweetheart' is incredibly condescending and sexist. (Not to mention -- potentially lewd) As of now, Romney owns this sexist and arrogant misogyny that the governor of NJ put forward.

Remember what Coulter said: If its not Christie 'it will be romney, and we'll lose!!!'
