WATCH: Christie Says 'Breathing' Causes Climate Change, Then Later Denies He Said It
A YouTube video that went viral shows Christie getting testy with a voter who challenged the contradiction.

First, it was his remarks about marking immigrants like FedEx packages as a way to ensure they don’t overstay their visits.
Then it was his remark about how ”breathing” can help cause climate change - a remark that Chris Christie later disputed saying, even though there’s a video of him saying it.
Either way, the governor has found a way to get himself to go ”viral” on the Internet while on the presidential campaign trail.

The below video shows Christie at an Aug. 4 town hall saying that breathing contributes to climate change. “We all contribute to it one way or the other,” he said. “By breathing we contribute to it.”
The video then cuts to the woman, a volunteer for the NextGen Climate advocacy group, later asking Christie, on Aug. 29, if he still believed those comments.

“The first thing you need to do is not be wrong and not quote me incorrectly,” he said. “I never said that humans contribute to climate change by breathing.”
The video had more than 100,000 hits by Tuesday afternoon.
