This news certainly isn't surprising considering Chris Christie's strong support of Muslims.
As for RJC, their continued support for Chris Christie has been disturbing to say the least.

Chris Christie apologizes for ‘occupied territories’ remark

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized to Sheldon Adelson on Saturday after he referred to the West Bank as “occupied territories” during a speech at an Republican Jewish Coalition event.
He apologized to Mr. Adelson in a private meeting, telling the mega-donor that he doesn’t believe the West Bank is occupied by Israel, according to Andy Abboud, senior vice president of Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp, CNNreported.
Mr. Adelson reportedly accepted.
“They had a nice meeting,” Mr. Abboud told CNN.
During his speech, Mr. Christie talked about a trip to Israel he had taken in 2012: “I took a helicopter ride from the occupied territories across, and just felt personally how extraordinary that was, to understand the military risk that Israel faces every day,” he said.
The term “occupied territories” is rejected by Zionist supporters of Israel, including Mr. Adelson, because they believe Israel has a legitimate claim to the land. Palestinians and the U.N. consider the West Bank to be Palestinian, but under military occupation by Israel, CNN reported.

He's such a friend. He can be trusted with your friendship. Just look at his loyalty with his long time staff.

I'm not surprised by this at all.

Mo Muzzie supports terrorism against Israel because Jewish law makes much stricter demands on food than Islam does.
The truth.

The convention was held on Shabbat. That should tell you all about the Republican "Jewish" Coalition.

Good observation.
This wasn't the first time this happened. Someone wrote about this in 2013. On the web page, there's a number of Twitter messages. As a result, it would be easier to read the page on the blog site.

I'm glad to see that Debbie Schlussel strongly condemned Chris Christie and heavily criticized RJC for inviting Christie to speak at their convention:

The Orthodox rabbis of the OU like to go to AIPAC.

Sheldon Adelson is the real power behind the RJC. He has made billions of dollars operating gambling casinos. Torah Judaism forbids gambling. Casinos destroy the lives of many people who become compulsive gamblers.
Now Adelson and the RJC are saying we have to be "practical" and nominate an establishment sell-out in 2016. Someone like Jeb Bush, who would grant amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens.
Did you notice that Ted Cruz wasn't invited to the RJC event? A Muslim-loving, pro-homosexual, anti-Semite like Chris Christie is invited but a true principled friend like Ted Cruz is not.

From what I know, gambling isn't forbidden, it's just "frowned upon", the reasons of course being all the things that are wrong with it.
Why would they decide to run this event on shabbat, and why are they not interested in Ted Cruz?
