https://www.inquirer.com/news/new-jersey/chris-christie-cameo-video-duped-mike-cooney-gianforte-20201030.htmlChris Christie, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, joined the Cameo app to raise money for charity. Instead, he accidentally helped a Montana Democrat campaign for governor.
For $200, anyone could ask Christie to send a personalized message on Cameo, used by various celebrities to send videos to fans. Campaign staff for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Cooney took advantage of the opportunity, getting Christie to record a lighthearted video telling Greg that Mike wants him to get back to New Jersey, while extolling state virtues including the Jersey Shore and Bruce Springsteen.
Little did Christie know, he was actually trolling the Republican candidate for Montana governor he has endorsed, Greg Gianforte, who had previously lived in New Jersey for a number of years.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way. You can come back voluntarily, or maybe theyll send me out to get you, Christie joked in the 51-second video. I dont think thats what you want, Greg, so get yourself back to Jersey quick, and lets have some Jersey fun and be Jersey strong.
