Former Gov. Chris Christie’s (R) niece bit, kicked, and spit on six deputies after she was kicked off a plane on Thanksgiving for asking passengers she thought to be Latino if they were “drug mules” who were “smuggling cocaine,” the New Orleans Times Picayune reports.
She shouted that the deputies were going to lose their jobs or end up in jail, boasting that she was related to powerful people and that her uncle is a friend of Donald Trump.
