Chris Christie to ‘Bridgegate’ critics: Prove it
Source: MSNBC
Chris Christie offered a challenge to critics who allege the New Jersey governor created a culture of intimidation that led to so-called Bridgegate: Prove it.
The Republican defiantly made his case Thursday at a town hall meeting in Ocean County after an attendee told the governor that his friends and family believe that Christie must have cultivated a toxic environment that allowed such an abuse to take place.
Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. resident Len Ludovico, 71, said he wanted to know what argument he could make to such critics, insisting he knows Christie would not risk his political career and integrity on something as petty as lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.
Christie advised the retired high school teacher to argue: Point to something factually something that proves that he created such a culture.

(17,469 posts)I think Christie is an idiot. I person with any real intelligence would have learned to keep his mouth shut and not taunt people investigating them.
