Re: Scandal Hitting Chris Christie

Wow, this sounds like one of those conspiracy theorists things. The government causing unnecessary lane closures. Crazy. Maybe all those theories are right after all.

Re: Scandal Hitting Chris Christie

I'd want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but conservatives all railed on El Presidente for claiming to be clueless as to what was going on...

On the other hand this is not in a series of events where Christie claims to have no knowledge of what was happening

Re: Scandal Hitting Chris Christie

What I am getting from Christie's take on this, "Yeah, I knew about this (though I'll never admit it) and I didn't think it would be THAT big of a deal (and I still don't)."


His response seems shockingly arrogant to me, but this isn't big enough to derail his Presidential ambitions.

He was trying to make the "attacks" and scandal look PURELY political.

Well, the scandal is very political and the decision by he and his office cost thousands of dollars and it at least one life!

I really liked Christie and I want to see what he has to say before I start to kick this man while he is down.

However, this looks like he and his office are indeed directly responsible for creating this situation unnecessarily.
I get nauseous listening to him say anything. It has to do with the sound of his voice though

I already see the GOP Establishment pushing him into our laps, along with Fox News, which is annoying, but listening to the Press Conference, I didn't feel he was shady.

El Presidente never goes as far as Christie with this type of response:


"This morning I've terminated the employment of Bridget Kelly, effective immediately. I've terminated her employment because she lied to me."

It's up to Bridget to come out and call him a liar if this isn't true and Christie knew about it.

I was satisfied with his response, but I did contact him after the recent Governor's race in Virgina to inform him that I wouldn't be supporting him for a 2016 run for dissing Cuccinelli. They had no excuse for not pumping more money and support into that campaign.

The sad sad truth is, our world has become so conspiratorial minded that they don't believe anyone anymore.

Christie very well could be honest and really did not know, but you can never convince a lot of people who see conspiracies everywhere

True. Everyone seems to feel they are in a Jason Bourne movie.
