Chris Christie addresses Cato Institute crowd as ... "committed conservatives"?

Christie’s “committed conservative” remark was reportedly not well received by the crowd. Yahoo News’ Chris Moody reported there were audible groans:

The Daily Caller‘s Michelle Fields was also in attendance at the event and noticed a palpable tension in the room. “I think he was expecting big claps, but only a few people clapped and most of the room just looked really uncomfortable and groaned,” she observed. “I spoke to some of the Cato scholars afterwards who told me that everyone at Cato was really upset and angry that he was invited and that Christie was so completely unaware of libertarian views.”
