Christie was wrapping up a town hall event at Fury's Publick House bar in Dover Friday evening when he was confronted with the issue by a woman who said she was born and raised in New Jersey and was "beyond horrified" by the incident — which she said reminded her of feudal times, when a king didn't care about his peasants.

Christie had largely avoided the issue during his trip to New Hampshire.
