<p>Former New Jersey Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-christie">Chris Christie</a> responded this week to attacks made by former President Donald Trump on his weight, saying that the former president is not a “Greek god” himself.</p>
<p>Christie made the remarks during a Tuesday interview with sports analyst Stephen Smith on &#8220;The Stephen A. Smith Show&#8221; when asked about different memes that Trump or his allies have made attacking Christie&#8217;s weight.</p>
<p>&#8220;As you know, there are tens of millions of Americans out there who struggle each and every day with their weight. And I’m one of them,&#8221; Christie said. &#8220;And I’ve been on all kinds of diets. I’ve had surgery and I’ve done much better than I did when I was governor. I lost a lot of weight when I was governor and I’ve kept most of that weight off, but I still have a lot more to go. I just look at him and think what a child, how small he is to be doing things like that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe he should look in the mirror, cause this guy ain’t Arnold Schwarzenegger,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Okay. I’ve seen some of those pictures of him golfing. He doesn’t look like a Greek god to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Christie said that he is not too offended by Trump&#8217;s comments but noted that Trump is alienating potential voters.</p>
<p>&#8220;What he is doing by doing that is making other Americans who are suffering from this, feel even more self-conscious than they do already,&#8221; Christie said. &#8220;I think it’s one of the last areas of physical discrimination that’s acceptable, socially acceptable in this country.&#8221;</p>
<p>“If you had a child or a grandchild who was overweight, would you want Donald Trump saying those things about them?&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;What about you, yourself? Is this the kind of character we want sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office.”</p>
