Christie throws support behind Beauprez, stands by comments on Colorado, pot
Source: KDVR FOX 31 Denver
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie barreled past a small group of protestors and into Sams No. 3 Wednesday afternoon, saying hello to midday diners and posing for photographs before making his way to a back room and holding forth before a bevy of television cameras and reporters.
There, during a 15-minute exchange, Christie said the Republican Governors Association is planning to strongly support Bob Beauprez, the GOP nominee in Colorados upcoming governors race while proudly doubling down on the comments he made three months ago criticizing the states legalization of recreational marijuana and its quality of life.
Im not backing off an inch from what I said, Christie told reporters. What I said was what I believe. I think legalizing marijuana is the wrong thing to do.
...After being asked about the progressive protestors holding signs outside, one of which including a drawing of a bridge with the words Christie, Go Home, Beauprez said, Heres what this governor did: when the bridge thing happened, this governor said heres my cell phone, heres my record, held an employee accountable, sent them packing, took responsibility and took action."

(13,685 posts)A true republican cares not for what the people want, he cares only to tell the people what to do and how they should live.
This is the divide between republicans and us. We listen, they say STFU and obey.

Never mind the Sandy Funds.
