Chris Christie ‘bongs’ tweet blamed on autocorrect

Posted

TRENTON, New Jersey —  The Twitter account for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie joked about the “dangers of autocorrect” after a typo led to a deleted tweet.

A few minutes after the deleted tweet, his account posted what appears to be the tweet that was supposed to go up.
