The former Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, made comments last week, which echoed what many other Republicans believe, that Americans should be willing to sacrifice their lives to save the U.S economy despite COVID-19.

However, on Friday, Christie was dumbfounded when he appeared on The View and was asked by Whoopi Goldberg which one of his family members is he willing to sacrifice.

” You upset a lot of people last week for saying that the country needs to reopen because people are going to die no matter what,” Whoopi said. “You compared it to lives lost during World War II, calling it a sacrifice for the American way of life. So I’m asking since you’re suggesting that I sacrifice, who are you sacrificing? Who are you going to give up in your family?”

Christie didn’t answer the question directly but claimed people didn’t understand the point he was trying to make.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

” It’s a false choice, Whoopi, and that’s what people who don’t understand what’s going on keep saying,” Christie said. “We have 36.5 million people unemployed. We have in seven different states now the suicide rate going up.”

Not to be detoured from getting the former Governor to answer her question, Whoopi asked again,” Who are you willing to sacrifice to die, Chris?” she said. “You’re saying people should be willing to sacrifice family to die. Who are you willing to give up?”

Christie tried to slither his way out, answering the question by saying,” some Americans will make that sacrifice no matter what we do,” contending that economic problems would lead to more significant deaths if the economy doesn’t begin operating at full strength.

” The balance is that there are people who are standing on food bank lines, people who are losing their homes, people who are losing their livelihood which is leading to depression, which is leading to suicide, which is leading to addiction, which is leading to domestic violence,” Christie said. “I saw all these things happen after Hurricane Sandy, when people wound up losing their homes, losing their livelihoods. These things happen. What I’m saying is, we have to balance.”
