Even by Chris Christie standards, his lie about Trump's birtherism is a whopper

JAKE TAPPER: "Well, just as a point of fact, again, Donald Trump did not accept when Barack Obama released his birth certificate in 2011. He kept up this whole birther thing until Friday. That's five years. But we only have a little time left. So, I want to ask you""

GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE (R-N.J.): "No, but, Jake, that's just not true. It's not true that he kept it up for five years."

TAPPER: "Sure, he did."

CHRISTIE: "It's simply not true."

TAPPER: "It is true."

CHRISTIE: "It wasn't like he was talking - no, Jake, it wasn't like - it wasn't like he was talking about it on a regular basis until then."

Washington Post, gives Christie "Four Pinochios." It says, "This will possibly be our shortest fact check ever."

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.
