Chris Christie stalked out of a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing today after testifying about controversial court-monitoring contracts he awarded when he was the New Jersey U.S. Attorney. Now the Republican candidate for New Jersey governor, Christie told the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Steven Cohen (D-Tenn.), that he had a 1:30 p.m. train to catch — and had already informed the subcommittee of that fact.
But Cohen would not excuse him. Then the congressman and the gubernatorial candidate started yelling at each other. Christie got up and left.
