Chris Christie Takes A Dig At Tucker Carlson's Twitter Show: 'I Go To Places That Have Real Ratings And Real Listeners'

Chris Christie, former New Jersey Governor, expressed reluctance to appear on Tucker Carlson‘s new show on X, formerly known as Twitter, emphasizing his preference for shows with “real ratings and real listeners,” Business Insider reports.

Christie conveyed his reservations during a conversation with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

“I’m not anxious to go and do a show that’s platform is on Twitter. And so I go to places that have real ratings and real listeners like yours here. And you know, I’m not saying that I’ll never go on any of those places, but I’m prioritizing where I want to go,” Christie remarked.

Carlson, who now hosts a show on Elon Musk‘s X platform after his exit from Fox News, responded with a succinct text when asked for a comment: “Ha!”

Christie is among the eight GOP candidates who have qualified for the upcoming Republican presidential primary debate, scheduled to be hosted by Fox News in less than two weeks.
