Chris Christie, wife may need to work on a poker face

April 26, 2016, 11:59 p.m.

Chris Christie is at it again.

The New Jersey governor stood behind GOP frontrunner Donald Trump during his victory speech Tuesday night, making a series of facial expressions that some say conveyed he was not thrilled to be present.

Some also pointed out that Christie’s wife, Mary Pat — who was standing directly behind Trump — seemed to roll her eyes as the candidate made a comment about Hillary Clinton.

“The only card she has is the women’s card, she has nothing else going,” Trump said of Clinton. “Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the women’s card, and the beautiful thing is, women don’t like her.”

For Christie, this isn’t the first time he has captured this type of attention. After introducing Trump for his Super Tuesday speech in March, Christie made similar facial expressions, leading to several memes and commentary on social media. He later appeared unfazed by the online reactions, telling reporters, “I wasn’t being held hostage. . . I understand everybody had a lot of fun with it. It doesn’t matter to me.”

That didn’t stop many from poking fun at Christie’s most recent expressions:
