It's always funny to me when the media allows a morally-bankrupt "celebrity" to lecture conservatives on a socially divisive issue. I mean, this woman was a "star" on a reality show that denigrated Italian-Americans while serving as a cesspool for crass, debauchery and vulgarity. Yet, somehow Chris Christie is the "bad guy" for having the nerve to believe in traditional marriage and wanting the people of Jersey to vote on it. Well done:
This feud is long past the Jersey Shore.RELATED: Christie’s debate comeback is his Bush moment
Reality TV star Jenni "JWoww" Farley is taking Gov. Chris Christie to task for his views on gay marriage.
In an exclusive interview with the New York Daily News, Farley 27, says, "I'm going to come after you."
"If you have a problem with two people being in love, and you're against gay marriage, I have a problem with you," says Farley.
"What happens between two human beings has nothing to do with Chris Christie and does not affect Chris Christie," she adds. " What does affect me is when my best friend can't get married in New Jersey, and my best friend's mother, who is a lesbian, can't get married."
The former "Jersey Shore" star is promoting the third season of "Snooki & JWoww," her spinoff with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
This isn't the first spat between Christie and a "Jersey Shore" cast member. Christie has never hidden his disdain for the show, saying it portrays the Garden State in a negative light. But Farley says she forgives him for that.
"The problems that he had with me, Nicole, Vinny (Guadagnino), Pauly (Delvecchio), I've put that aside," says Farley. "He's a politician, he's able to grant these wishes for people in love. Your personal opinion should have no effect on other people's love lives, especially if you're in a position of power."
Earlier this month, Farley apologized for calling Christie "retarded" for his stance on gay marriage.
She later clarified the context of her remarks via Twitter.
"Caught off guard last night and said things I normally don't say. I find it disgusting people are still against gay marriage...," she wrote. "So because of that I called [Chris] Christie a name which wasn't appropriate. I do find him disgusting and judgmental. I'm for gay equality."
A state Superior Court judge denied a request Thursday by Christie's administration to delay the Oct. 21 start date for gay marriages in New Jersey until its appeal is over.
When confronted by a diner patron during a campaign stop in Edison earlier this week, Christie had this to say, on the matter, "My view is: If you want to change it, put it on the ballot. Let everybody decide. It shouldn't be decided by courts, it shouldn't be decided by politicians in Trenton."
