NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Governor
Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald
Trump’s dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on
Friday, campaign sources confirm.
The
ugly scene unfolded at the billionaire’s offices in midtown Manhattan,
shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.
According
to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican
nominee’s office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling
Trump, “You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.”
The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.
Trump’s
press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much
of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie. “In the long
hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw,” she said.
“We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trump’s dry
cleaning going forward.”
Reached later by reporters, Governor Christie issued a brief statement: “Get away from me. Just get away from me, you bastards.”
