Wait…Is Chris Christie Flirting With Mika Brzezinski?

Um… is it me, or is this the most uncomfortable segment in the history of television?

BAAAAARF.

According to IJR: 

Discussing the infamous Bridgegate scandal, Christie jabbed at the “Morning Joe” network MSNBC saying that they made a “cottage industry” out of the ordeal, joking that Rachel Maddow could have an “hour special” on his secretary.

 

Co-host Mika Brzezinski then chimed in amidst the audience laughter and Christie continuing to rib the network, saying, “this is a little awkward!”

 

For his part, the New Jersey governor said that it wasn’t awkward, but Mika kept going: “I love awkward!” Hosting counterpart — and fiancé — Joe Scarborough confirmed her admission: “Believe me, she does.”

 

Christie attempted to stay the course and keep on topic, saying, “I know now that I didn’t do anything wrong, and all that came out in the long run, and all the people yelling and screaming at the time that I did something wrong, I knew they were wrong. You have to wait history out. That’s what I did.”

 

Not letting the awkward thing die, Mika jumped in after Christie’s monologue, saying that she was going to make things “even more awkward.”

 

Christie, either not knowing where this was headed or attempting to get himself in on the joke, asked “are we going to talk about our odd attraction?”

to which Brzezinski responded with a fit of giggles.

 

“He just did that,” Brzezinski quipped, “he went there.”

Is Mika on drugs? What the heck was that?! THIS IS SO WEIRD I CAN’T EVEN.
