Chris Christie released a statement on Bridgegate. Like a typical progressive (Republican), Christie claims he was misled and takes no responsibility for Bridgegate.
NBC New York:
“What I’ve seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge,” the Republican governor said in a prepared statement that has been described as “boilerplate.”
“One thing is clear: this type of behavior is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey deserve better. This behavior is not representative of me or my Administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions,” the statement added.
So tubby, which member of your staff ‘misled you?’ Your blanket statement doesn’t make it clear. Still, I love watching the media hypocrisy in ‘scandals’ though. Maybe Chris Christie should have told the media that he heard about Bridgegate for the first time today in the news, like Obama.
Politicians (Republican and Democrat) need to be held accountable for their actions, and the actions of their staffers. Diverting responsibility is a typical progressive tactic. This so called Bridgegate ‘scandal’ comes at a perfect time for the leftist media. It lets them distract away not only from the disaster of ObamaCARE, but also the Robert Gates book exposing Obama and Joe Biden as the frauds they are.
