Sarah Palin: Christie Attacking Gingrich a Rookie Mistake [Video]

Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin said that when Chris Christie attacked Newt Gingrich in the press that the governor made a “rookie mistake”.

In an interview with Fox Business News Palin said,

“You know, sometimes if your candidate loses in just one step along this path, as was the case when (Mitt )Romney lost to Newt the other night, and of course, Romney is Chris Christie’s guy. “Well, you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things that you regret later. And I think that that’s what Chris Christie did.

Christie, who has been one of Romney’s biggest supporters, criticized Gingrich as being an embarrassment to the Republican Party.

Palin has recently become quite the Gingrich cheerleader said that by attacking him Christie played right into the media’s hands.

“Here’s a host that asked Chris does Newt embarrass the party. I think he asked him twice, and there Chris played right into it and, you know, spewed that about, yeah, Newt embarrassing the party. He’s been in office a year or two, is all, and might think that he — he’ll learn that the media — they goad you. They want you to say things like that in order to boost ratings and make it more of a reality show-type scenario.”

Christie did not have any response to Palin’s charges. There is really no love lost between the two. Christie made it a point to keep his distance from Palin during his run for the Governor of New Jersey.

Also during the interview Christie shot down any rumors that he would be running as Vice President. He said that he will be Governor of New Jersey in 2012.
