‘I lie awake at night’
By Fats Fatso, our Chris Christie Correspondent
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie last night admitted the prospect of 5-year-old Syrian refugees arriving in the United States scared the hell out of him.
“Orphans, especially,” Christie said when asked for a comment by Dog In The Street. “There’s something about 5-year-old orphans that makes me wet my pants. Seriously, they’re right up there with the bogey man. I lie awake at night worrying about them. Ask my mom and she’ll tell you. I sleep with the light on every night.”
Back in September, Governor Christie referenced the photo of the drowned Syrian toddler and said he would “sit down with our allies and figure out how we can help, because America is a compassionate country. We saw the image of that 4-year-old little boy drowned in Syria, and we can’t have those kinds of things.”
And in October, Christie went on to state that the U.S. should “continue to support” allies like Germany and Jordan as they take in refugees, adding that “I’ve said before that if there comes a time when the U.S. needs to take some refugees that we should.”
Asked to explain his about-turn on the refugee issue, Governor Christie responded, “That toddler in the picture was dead. I don’t mind dead refugees, even children. And anyway, he was only four and he was not an orphan. I believe I have been totally consistent in my position. Are there any donuts left?”
