Well, Chris Christie’s back in the news. Not for anything good like meatloaf, but because he closed a public New Jersey beach and then went there for a private sunbathing sesh with his family:

More from ABC News:
Late last week Christie shut down the state’s parks, recreation areas, forests and historic sites — including Island Beach State Park and Liberty State Park — over a state budget battle.
But on Sunday he and other members of his family were seen in aerial photos lounging by the water at Island Beach State Park, even though the public beach was closed off to the public.
…
After pictures of the Christies relaxing on the otherwise empty beach went viral, Christie, in a mocking tone, called the issue “an incredible scandal.”
Scandal? Maybe not. But it’s fair to say this doesn’t reflect super-awesomely on Christie.
Still, though, if you’re gonna criticize Christie for this, you should probably make sure you know what you’re talking about first. Unfortunately, the folks at Jacobin Magazine, which bills itself as “a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture,” let their disgust with Christie get the better of them — and beclowned themselves in the process:

The magazine that bills itself as the leading voice of the Left doesn't know the difference between capitalism and statism. Makes sense. https://t.co/kaAWAWFrv7

If ignorance is bliss, Jacobin is in heaven.
One of us clearly doesn't know what capitalism is.

Everything you see is state owned. I'll ask twitter for an edit button for you so you can fix this. You couldn't be further from the truth.

Yes, government control of public lands is exactly capitalism. #nailedit https://t.co/A9OPzU4V8t

This is a government official at a government-owned house on a government-owned beach screwing over taxpayers. https://t.co/390zakEKDf

Actually, it's what happens when a corrupt government has far too much control over property and liberty. But you do you. https://t.co/2vBjoltmLj

Awesome moment when "left-leaning socialist" publication validates that big government is bad by not understanding what capitalism is. https://t.co/9Fd9prQzsw
