Chris Christie, the sitting governor of New Jersey, has been diminished to an errand boy for Donald Trumps campaign, according to a New Yorker report published online on Monday.
(Christie) has transformed himself into a sort of manservant, who is constantly with Trump at events, Ryan Lizza wrote in the magazines June 20 issue. Lizza also said one anonymous Republican source told him a friend on Trumps campaign used Snapchat to send him a video of Christie fetching Trumps McDonalds order.
The piece, which traces Republicans coming to terms with Trump as the presumptive nominee, is the latest humiliation for Christie since he became a prominent surrogate for the businessmans campaign.
After appearing on camera with a panicked, deer-in-the-headlights look in his eyes for much of a Super Tuesday press conference with Trump in March, Christie was forced to hold a presser of his own to clarify, No, I wasnt being held hostage.
During a campaign event last month in New Jersey, Trump commanded Christie, who was off camera, to stop eating Oreo cookies.
