Chris Christie calls Ted Cruz's speech awful and selfish; Angry critic restrained by security?

Note that this tweet from the Daily Beast’s Tim Mak was posted at the beginning of Ted Cruz’s RNC speech Wednesday night.

This lovey dovey Cruz is new

As everyone knows by now, “lovey dovey” Cruz didn’t hang around on stage very long. Things turned ugly after it became clear that Cruz not only wasn’t going to endorse Donald Trump, but instead urged the audience to hit the polls in November and essentially vote for every Republican on the ballot not named Trump.

Chris Christie, who became cozy with Trump very early on in the campaign cycle, declared Cruz’s speech “awful.”

Christie to reporters on convention floor on Cruz snub: "By the end of the speech the crowd was waiting for him to do the right thing."

Lol. Has anyone reminded Christie of his 2012 RNC speech?

— Ex-GOP Hilary (with one “L”) (@hplem) July 21, 2016

By now, pretty much everyone has reminded Christie of his 2012 speech.

Isn't that exactly what they said about Chris Christie's speech 4 years ago? https://t.co/VRUIsIZ5xI

True, but what about his ridiculous speech last night and the keynote in 2012?

Didn't Christie only talk about himself at Romney's RNC?

From the guy who be-clowned himself in 2012 at the convention and with Obama

— Jacki Vinson (@jackivinson) July 21, 2016

Maybe he should hug Obama again

Speaking of hugs, CNN reports that someone in the donor box needed a good, strong hug from security working the room.

From @DanaBashCNN: Some people on donor suite level so angry at @tedcruz they called him disgrace to his face; one man had to be restrained…

Cruz called a disgrace at donor suite and one critic had to be restrained by security, per CNN reporting

The salty, cholesterol-laden tears of Chris Christie are delicious.

If true, and it’s been reported by a few sources, this is just horrible:

Ken Cuccinelli told me he cleared the way for Heidi Cruz to leave because of "all the people physically approaching her, berating her."
