TRENTON–New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) was hospitalized today for observation after making a bizarre statement that caused friends and aides to fear for his mental health.
“We don’t want to get into the details, but there was an unfortunate incident that caused us to take precautionary measures,” said a spokesman. “Right now the governor is resting comfortably under light sedation, and we’re hopeful that he will be able to leave the hospital soon.”
While the exact nature of the incident was unclear, sources said that Christie had not been violent, but had been saying “crazy things…that no normal person would say,” according to someone who witnessed the event. “We thought it might indicate some kind of brain trauma.”
