Ocasio-Cortez condemned Christie's comments as "disgusting" and "misogynistic," warning that such rhetoric could alienate women voters. She expressed her intention to hold Republicans accountable at the ballot box.
During the debate, Christie took a swipe at President Biden, criticizing his handling of the teachers unions.
He suggested that the President's relationship with a member of the teachers union made it impossible to challenge their influence. Jill Biden, a longtime teacher and member of the National Education Association, was the target of Christie's remarks.
