Chris Christie Caught Lounging on State Beach amid Pandemic

Governor Faces Backlash for Violating Social Distancing Guidelines

Beaches Closed to Public, but Not for Christie

Governor Chris Christie has come under fire after being photographed lounging on a state beach that is closed to the public. The photos, taken on Saturday, show Christie sitting in a beach chair in the Oval Office. Christie was joined by his wife and daughter, and they were not wearing face masks or practicing social distancing.

The photos have sparked outrage from New Jersey residents, who are angry that Christie is violating the same rules that he has imposed on them. The state's beaches have been closed to the public since March 18th in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Christie has defended his actions, saying that he was not violating any rules because he was on state property. However, critics have pointed out that the Oval Office is not part of a public beach.

Christie's actions have also drawn criticism from health experts, who say that he is setting a bad example for the public. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, has said that Christie's behavior is "not appropriate."Christie's approval ratings have been declining in recent months, and the latest photos are likely to further damage his standing with voters.
