After reading out some statistics from the deadly Hawaii wildfires, they played a clip from a member of the Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative youth activist organisation, who said climate was the number one issue for young people.

Asked to raise their hand if they thought mankind was to blame, not one went up. And only one candidate said climate change was real in the short discussion that followed.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said it was childish to ask for a show of hands and instead laid into Joe Biden for the president's response to Hawaii.

Who the hell in their right mind would vote for the king of the Bridgegate debacle?

I mean Christie shouldn't be anywhere near a GOP candidate debate.

Nobody in their right mind would vote for anyone on that debate stage

To be fair, Christie's done a great job of antagonizing the other candidates when they say or do stupid shit. I wouldn't vote for him either, but I appreciate that he's dragging the rest of the field down with him

He is shit. But he has a really quick wit and is quick to pounce on any candidate who does not have their shit together. He essentially killed Rubio's campaign in 2016.

Are you kidding?

He screwed over New Yorkers! He's a national hero!!!
