However, the debate ended in a lightning round of 30-second answers to a wide variety of questions. The final one going to Christie about whether or not, if he was elected, he would share information about what the US knows about UFO\/UAP encounters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Christie didn\u2019t seem too pleased with getting the light-hearted question, he took it as an opportunity to talk about the role of the President. \u201cThe role of the President is level with the American people about everything. The role of the President is the stand for truth,\u201d was the start of Christie\u2019s response before pivoting to attacking teacher unions (because why would the answer actually be about the question?).<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-37973',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not clear if Christie\u2019s statement was truly about opening up the US Government\u2019s secrets on its knowledge of UFO\/UAPs or if it was another jab at President Trump\u2019s record of lies. Whatever it meant, obviously Christie isn\u2019t a diehard UFO believer as this was the time and place to make a pledge to share everything if he was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But seriously, what an absolute letdown of a response. I mean, this was the closest we\u2019ve ever gotten to a space-centered question in a presidential debate in years and all I got is \u201cChristie stands for truth\u201d out of it.
