BORDENTOWN TOWNSHIP, N.J. - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he has no regrets about calling a former Navy SEAL an "idiot" during a shouting match at a recent public event.
Christie's comment capped off two minutes of increasingly heated back-and-forth with 34-year-old William Brown at a town hall-style event in Burlington County on Thursday.
"He acted like an idiot. He's an idiot. I don't have any regret about it at all," Christie said Monday during a news conference after touring a regional high school and meeting with students in a financial literacy class.
Brown, an Iraq war veteran and former Democratic candidate for state Assembly, challenged the Republican governor's plan to merge two public universities, Rutgers and Rowan. He is a law student at the Rutgers-Camden campus who opposes the merger.

Gov. Christie calls Navy SEAL veteran an idiot
This my 1st post: I did not see the whole incident in question. I will say that it is unprofessional to call names. I personally have worked with Navy Seals and never have I seen a Seal that I would call an "Idiot". This Seal in question apologized to the Gov. Personally, I would like to see the Gov. apologize to this former Seal. This would set a good example for others.
