Former president Donald Trump took a swipe at his competitor Chris Christie while speaking at a Christian event on Saturday.

Trump, who also attacked atheists and said the criminal indictments he faces are "a great badge of honor" at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's event, basked in cheers from the audience before turning and asking the event host if other candidates received the same treatment during their visits. It sounded as if many in the audience were yelling, "We love Trump!"

Trump next joked about an incident involving Christie, who was booed while insulting Trump before the group as he presented his own case for becoming the president. Christie responded with, "Boo all you want," and struck a defiant tone during his own speech.
