Words fail me now.
Scandal-plagued New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) reportedly gave away pieces of metal salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center as gifts to his political allies. According to the New York Times, the twisted chunks of metal were presented to a group of mayors who endorsed Christie ahead of his bid for re-election in 2013.
An investigation into Christies handling of the states Port Authority has revealed that the one-time 2016 hopeful was using the transportation nerve center as a de facto political operation, handing out political favors to supporters and pursuing vendettas long before the still-unexplained closing of George Washington Bridge in 2013.
The Port Authority was crucial to Christie as a means of winning the endorsement of Democrats and union leaders, said the Times, which Christie used to strip his Democratic gubernatorial challenger Barbara Buono of allies and political capital.

Thanks swallow...
For whatever reason you moonbats are trying to destroy Christie before the primaries are underway.
Too bad you didn't do that with Romney right way.
Chritie is a floating turd in the bowl, but democrooks seem to prefer to keep flushing while we're working on the clog.
For once we're working for the same overall outcome, the only satisfaction I can get is that the bed wetters don't know why....Yet.

They were presented by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to 20 carefully chosen New Jersey mayors who sat atop a list of 100 whose endorsements Gov. Chris Christie hoped to win.
At photo opportunities around the mangled pieces of steel, Bill Baroni, Mr. Christies top staff appointee at the Port Authority, told audiences how many people wanted a similar remnant of the destroyed buildings, and how special these mayors were.

Note the photos from the above article match yours as the mayor dedicates it to Vets lost that fateful day.
At the office I work at in New Jersey, there are pictures of 2 people from the company that died that day.
They are young and look so full of promise.
For people in the financial Industry and first responders, this was something very close to home.
To see people seriously exploit the "relics" for political gain is beyond the pale.

I don't have a problem with sharing the relics with other parts of the country..or world even..so long as they are treated with the proper respect and given under the right circumstances.
They SHOULD NOT be trophies for political favors.

Well, OK, I lied that time. You lie every time. You've never been anywhere near anyone who was involved in 9/11.
Did anyone read the article? You will note in the first sentence it says Chrisite reportedly did this according to the N.Y. Times and all the Times article did unless I missed something is make the allegation but offers no proof.

NEW YORK – The World Trade Center towers may have fallen, but the steel that once gave them strength has been salvaged from the site.
Now comes the question of what happens to it. The metal and other recyclable material recovered from the site is sacred to many, and is both emotionally and financially valuable.
The Port Authority estimates more than 200,000 tons of steel was used in the World Trade Center's construction. Of that total, more than 168,000 tons has been salvaged from Ground Zero thus far, according to the New York City Office of Emergency Management
Three companies – Metal Management Northeast of Newark, N.J., Hugo Neu Schnitzer East of Jersey City and Blandford Land Development Corporation of Brooklyn, N.Y. – have successfully bid for city contracts to recycle the steel, and continue to bid on what remains to be salvaged.
"Once they have it in their possession they in turn have the right to sell it," Matthew Monahan, City of New York Department of Design and Construction spokesman said. "It becomes their steel."
