Or you can say that even Governor Christie understands that Rav Malkiel Kotler is a holy Jew.
Christie really fits in with the yarmulka and frum physique.
Serious question: Why does a gentile politician put on a kippah when visiting Jewish sites?
Funny observations: It would make more sense for a gentile politician to wear a black fedora when calling upon frum Jews, as the wearing of a fedora used to be a gentile custom, but the wearing of a kippah is a mitzvah for Jews, not gentiles. And why did gentiles stop wearing fedoras? Maybe because they thought it made them look Jewish?
