NEW YORK) -- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he couldn't pick the Fort Lee Mayor "out of a lineup" at his news conference Thursday.
But, a photo posted on the governor's website, taken at a news conference on Dec. 8, 2011, shows Christie speaking on the issue of sick pay reform with several mayors, including Democratic Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, at the National Guard Armory in Teaneck, N.J.
At his Thursday news conference responding to revelations that his top aides purposely snarled traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., Christie took steps to distance himself from rumors that the entire incident had been an act of political revenge against the town's mayor for declining to endorse the governor for re-election.
Not only did Christie say that he never personally asked for such an endorsement from Sokolich, but he added that "until I saw his picture last night on television, I wouldn't have been able to pick him out of a line-up."
"I don't remember ever meeting Mayor Sokolich," Christie said. "Certainly, I never did in that context," he said, referring to the rumored request for an endorsement.
(Christie did seek to clarify: "I'm sure I met him at some point at an event in Bergen County.")
It was the quest for revenge on the part of Christie aides, including his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, that originally set in motion the traffic situation on the George Washington Bridge last September. Christie announced the firing of Kelly Thursday and declared himself "stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here."
Embarrassed my a**.
More like pi****.
Is he implying that he should be “in a lineup” to be picked out??
Oh heck yeah! I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near him the last few days!
I bet SNL will be doing something on this.
Here's a letter from Mayor Richard Feder of Fort Lee,New Jersey....
“It’s always something.”
Agreed, but that does not slow a (pathological?) liar from lying.
Related, his "aide" Wildstein just pleaded the fifth a dozen or so times about this.
.
Then I think he was on Leno...sucking on a donut...fat lard. The guys a joke.
Might as well lower the flag to half staff...he's a goner.
run guns to Mexican drug gangs - not a scandal
use the IRS against your political opponents - not a scandal
run guns to Mexican terrorists attacking a US embassy - not a scandal
close traffic on a bridge to make life miserable for people - STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!
Krispy creamed himself. He’s not a good liar. He’s the ‘Rat in the maze.
All of those things are scandals, including the Christie one.
One reason this story may (unfortunately) have more legs than the three Obama scandals listed is that there are publicly-available documents involving people very close to Christie. Imagine if IRS scandal involved an email from, say, Valerie Jarret instructing the IRS to go after conservatives. I don’t think even the MSM could have ignored that.
I feel bad for him on the fat thing. I know it bothers/hurts him but he tries to laugh and play along with it. I try not to pick on his size. Though his big mouth and attitude is certainly worthy of jabs!
Who can argue with that, they all look the same......
yeah...
‘I wouldn’t have been able to pick him out of a line-up.’
Is Christie implying that the democratic mayor of Fort Lee is a criminal?
You beat me to it :)
If you were to look up a dictionary definition of "unfortunate phraseology", that sentence is what you'd find.
Is Christie implying that the democratic mayor of Fort Lee is a criminal?-
Good one. Probably a professional Curtice.
