Christie Cites Wife's Refusal To Move To DC As Reason He Didn't Take WH Role

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Wednesday that part of the reason he declined a role in Donald Trump’s administration was his wife’s refusal to move to Washington, D.C.

"He didn't offer me a job that I thought was exciting enough for me to leave the governorship, and my family," Christie told the hosts of the Boomer and Carton radio show. "Because Mary Pat made really clear she wasn't coming to D.C."
"You would have had to given at least a two-year commitment to be there," co-host Craig Carton noted,

“Correct,” Christie said.

The New Jersey governor was one of the first failed 2016 Republican candidates to endorse Trump, fueling speculation that he would be given a post in Trump’s Cabinet once the real estate mogul was elected.

I'm sure Mary Pat would have been happy to see him go.

While being publicly humiliated several times and he never thought to ask his wife if she was willing to move to DC?

Thump used Christie during the election and threw him away after he won.
