Marc Lamont Hill Doubles Down On Chris Christie Fat Claim

» 38 comments

Marc Lamont Hill is still not done calling New Jersey Governor Chris Christie fat. If you didn’t hear, Hill got in a bit of hot water last week when, on MyFoxPhilly, he mused that Christie could never be president because “he’s fat.” And today he returned to the scene of the crime in an attempt to clarify his statements. But even as he tried to make amends, he couldn’t help taking a dig at the governor’s girth. “I’m sorry, Governor Christie, if I offended you. We can get together and have a salad. Talk about this.”

For the most part, Hill stuck to the explanations that he offered on The O’Reilly Factor last week. He reiterated that “voters don’t vote for people who are overweight,” which sounds reasonable, until you remember that voters did, in fact, vote for Christie in the first place.

Hill also put single people in the fat camp, claiming that the electorate wouldn’t vote a bachelor or bachelorette into the White House. But he quickly went back to harping about Christie’s weight, saying that “someone that large, someone that takes up two slots at the debate dais is not going win.” He used Mike Huckabee‘s weight loss as evidence that Chrisite would have to lose “50 or 75″ pounds to become a real contender in 2012.

Comments like this, he says, have earned him a week’s worth of hatemail and general ire from political conservatives, which he attempts to comabt by saying basically, “Don’t blame me, blame the voters.” Try and catch the fast-talking Hill’s various explanations and slights in the clip below.

    Somehow they turn concern about these lardos shoving cheeseburgers by the dozen down their fat throats into the “Government telling them what to eat”

    And somehow the concern about obesity jacking up insurance costs never passes through their lips….but government regulation on the industry is evil.

    You do realize those are the 10 poorest states in the country, don’t you?

    You do realize that those states are not entirely filled with Republicans, don’t you?

    How very pleasant of you to attack poor people in that manner.

    I have a friend who had wonderful success with Majorie Dawes’ Fat Fighters. Perhaps, Chrissy would like the contact information?

    Hey Jackie, I read that story about you. You made the news.

    NOVEMBER 15–Following an argument with her boyfriend, a knife-wielding Nebraska woman allegedly attempted to cut off a tattoo of her name from the man’s neck, cops charge.
    Tressa Amerson, 19, was jailed Friday night on a domestic assault charge following an altercation with Ronald Miner at his residence in Lincoln. Miner, 30, suffered “minor scratches” during the incident, according to a police report.

    P.S.-That goes for white people too!!!!

    Apparently you weren’t paying attention when Michelle Obama was discussing obesity….

    http://www.frac.org/html/hunger_in_the_us/hunger&obesity.htm

    The prevalence of adult overweight and obesity is higher among Hispanics
    and African-Americans than among non-Hispanic Whites.

    Women are more likely to be overweight and obese than men among Hispanics,
    Whites, and especially African Americans.

    o As with adults, the prevalence of overweight is higher among African
    American and Hispanic children compared to White children.

    o Rates of overweight are higher for adults of low socioeconomic status.

    Men with incomes below poverty are slightly less likely than men with
    higher incomes to be overweight, and slightly more likely to be obese.

    Women living below the poverty level, on the other hand, are much more
    likely to be overweight or obese than women with higher incomes.

  • Michael_T

    Let’s get real … there is a long list of traits/images that make it difficult to win the presidency and being obese is certainly one of them – to go along with the following:
    angry and surly (Dole and Dukakis)
    robot-like personality (Gore)
    age (McCain)
    Hispanic (Richardson)
    wimpy (GHW Bush)
    clumsy and/or perceived asa bit dense (Ford)
    single – especially if gay
    atheist
    Mormon
    non-Christian
    spent their youth as either a circus or rodeo clown
    OK, after that last one it’s time to stop.

  • sarainitaly

    you left off Black.
    Oh, wait…that’s right.
    They elected a black president.

    Times are changing Michael – and someone like Christie, IMHO, could very easily get elected.

  • Snidely

    Why would anyone give this person a venue on which to express his opinion? Vapid does not begin to describe him.

  • http://none pyrope

    Mr. Christie can lose weight. Mr. Hill cannot lose stupid. Got to say though that I will miss seeing him getting his ass kicked all over Fox News.

    Well, Gordo, I’m not a lib, and I’m not fat, I’m only “sort of” bald, but…I must admit, old Greek men aren’t all that much to look at. And that’s why I won’t post my pic here.

    Oh, Lamont (love that name, so cultured, so refined, so like the ghetto where you belong, if you think that fancy suit makes you intelligent, boy are you wrong..I have watched you stutter & stammer for months now on Bill O’Reilly , then attempt to make points by saying something witty at the end of the conversation. This nonsense about “fat” people is a frail attempt to dissuade (that’s a big word..got it?) us from showing interest in Chris Christie..well, most people do not care about his obesity..that’s HIS problem..I’m only interested in his “gray matter” of which you have little of..you don’t make any rude comments about people you like, Jesse has been stacking on the pounds (well, he’s from the past, you don’t really care, I know).Al Sharpton is not exactly trim and slim..right?..oh yeah & how about darling Michelle..put some weight on since her visit to Spain, right or haven’t you noticed that her “designer” clothes are now 2 sizes LARGER…stop shooting off your mouth Lamont, there are some pretty nice FAT people out there …and they don’t have to lick their lips & stutter every time they make a statement..grow up!
