“A plane carrying a banner telling New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to get off the beach earned cheers from beach-goers Monday.
Justin Auciello, the publisher of Jersey Shore Hurricane News, was on the beach when the plane flew overhead late Monday afternoon. Auciello, who recorded the video, told TIME the plane looked like it was heading south, toward the governor's mansion, and that it flew back north about 15 minutes later.
Auciello said people on the beach were overjoyed by the banner.
"People said they wanted to shake the person's hand or buy him a beer," he said.”
Edward Snowden had some choice words for Christie, all the way from Moscow.
“Rarely does a photographer capture the politics of an era in one frame,” Snowden posted Monday on Twitter, along with The Star-Ledger’s front page showing Christie kicked back on a state beach that he’d ordered closed to the public amid a state government shutdown.
Snowden also retweeted this photo...
..which shows where the public beach ends (right) and Christie’s begins (left).
No wonder folks cheered.
