Chris Christie’s “Guilty!” speech squarely directed at Hillary Clinton has swiftly started a ruckus on Twitter with people both poking fun at and scolding him for bringing a medieval witch-hunt to the Republican convention.
All through his anti-Hillary speech, Christie has been encouraging the crowds to chant “Guilty” and “Lock her up”.
Despite losing a battle for Trump’s love and the next vice-president spot, Christie took to the stage with a lengthy speech to smear Hillary Clinton. Widely cheered by Trump’s supporters at the Cleveland arena, his address failed to achieve the same effect on Twitter.

… and making fun of him for bringing back America’s Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s.
I think I may be a time traveler… Am I watching The RNC or is this Chris Christie’s version of The Salem Witch Trials? Will they hang her?

@maddow Call out Chris Christie for his “guilty” witch hunt speech! Too scary to hear the crowd yelling to lock her up. Stand for sanity.

Others suggested that he might need to see a specialist.
I think Chris Christie needs to be removed from public office and forced to see a mental health specialist. #mentalhealth#witchhunt

As of Hillary Clinton, she had the prefect comeback to remind Christie of his own blemishes on his reputation.
Chris Christie, who’s had 4 aides/appointees indicted over sprawling corruption scandal, grins as crowds chant “lock her up”. Extraordinary
