New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was deeply insulted by a voicemail message left from Marco Rubio after he'd dropped his bid for the GOP presidential nomination, according to sources close to the state leader whose Friday endorsement of Donald Trump shook up the party.
Christie came out strong against the Florida senator, attacking him before and during a party debate by calling him shallow and scripted, reports The New York Times. However, Christie lost the Granite State after a pro-Rubio group, Conservative Solutions, released advertising bashing Christie as being President Barack Obama's "favorite Republican" and attacked him for his stances on Common Core and Obamacare.
And after losing the race, a call came from Rubio.
In his voicemail, the junior Florida senator sought Christie's support and assured him that he still had a bright future in public service — and Christie didn't appreciate the words, sources close to the governor said.
Instead, Christie, 53, took the message to be patronizing and deeply disrespectful, and wanted to know why 44-year-old Rubio would be telling him about his future.
