Christie Regrets His ‘Hot Mic’ Moment

Chris Christie told ABC News that the “hot mic” moment when he ended his presidential campaign was “a complete mistake.”

Christie was heard telling his New Hampshire state director that Nikki Haley, one of his rivals, was “gonna get smoked” and was “not up to this.”

Said Christie: “It’s one of those moments I wish, quite frankly, hadn’t happened, just ’cause it was a distraction. But on the other hand, I didn’t say anything on the hot mic that I didn’t essentially say in the speech that I gave about 10 minutes later.”
