DES MOINES, IOWA — More than two years after Hurricane Sandy devastated the New Jersey coast, Joe Mangino and his family are living in temporary housing as their home sits gutted and inhabitable. But when he and many of the other 15,000 families still displaced from the storm have requested meetings with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) to discuss his failed recovery efforts, the likely presidential candidate has said he is too busy.

So when Mangino, an activist with the New Jersey Organizing Project, heard that Christie would be speaking at the Iowa Agriculture Summit in Des Moines on Saturday, Mangino told ThinkProgress he decided to accommodate the governor’s busy schedule and booked his plane ticket to Iowa.

Halfway through Christie’s question and answer session with agribusiness entrepreneur and Republican donor Bruce Rastetter at the summit, Mangino stood up holding a sign, requesting that Christie “finish the job” and get his family home. The governor did not ignore the interruption.

“I’ll deal with you here the same way as I deal with you in New Jersey,” he said, eliciting laughter from the audience.

“My people follow me everywhere, Bruce,” he added shortly after. “It’s fabulous. I’m magnetic. They can’t stay away from me.”

1. good. I hope they haunt that corrupt bastard wherever he goes.

2. And They'll Be...

unceremoniously escorted from the hall for asking inconvenient questions. Christie's a brave stand up guy who tells it like it is. I just don't get how anybody in their right mind believes that. He's left a trail of failure in his wake but no failure bigger than his bungling of Sandy recovery.

3. how does he "deal with them in NJ"?

ignore them?

May those that laughed at his asshole behavior have a sinkhole open under their feet.

4. Such an arrogant tub of shit.

This is why this slimeball has a 35% approval rating in his state. And, just like little Piyush in Louisiana, he suffers from the incredible delusion that he's still a credible candidate for POTUS.

5. Crispy is a crude vulgar

ReTHUG scumbag who plays smart but is not very clever. Time is catching up with this despicable waste of oxygen.
