Chris Christie Makes Cameo Video For Montana Democrat (By Mistake)
The former New Jersey governor is the latest Republican politician to be tricked into making a video for the opposing party.
Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor, on Thursday became the latest Republican politician to be fooled into making a campaign video on behalf of a Democrat.
Mr. Christie is one of many of Mr. Trumps current and former associates available for hire on Cameo, an app that allows users to commission personalized videos from minor and increasingly major celebrities.
The video, which cost $200, was framed as a jovial message to a person named Greg, who Mr. Christie was prompted to encourage to return to New Jersey, Gregs former home.
What Mr. Christie did not know was that the video was meant for Greg Gianforte, the Republican nominee in Montanas governors race. It was commissioned by the campaign of Mr. Gianfortes opponent, Mike Cooney.
