Chris Christie had quite the busy Sunday morning. First the New Jersey governor appeared on CBS's Face the Nation to blast President Barack Obama for his support of Black Lives Matter because, Christie said, it supports the killing of police officers.

When the host challenged Christie's assertion by saying "they're not calling for the murder of police officers," Christie responded:

A little while later, in perhaps one of the best examples of karma we've seen all week, Christie and his McDonald's strawberry smoothie were kicked out of an Amtrak "quiet car" after almost missing the train from D.C. to New York.

As a witness told Gawker, the governor was shouting into his phone “this is frickin’ ridiculous” and “seriously?! seriously?!” in the car that's reserved for peaceful riders.

Christie, like all Republican candidates who aren't named Trump or Carson, is not doing well in the Iowa polls. He's currently at something like 2 percent.
