Embattled Chrstie Stands Up For Embattled Walker
John at Crooks and Liars reports via NJ.com:
Gov. Chris Christie says Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is “a good man” and voiced support for his fellow Republican, who faces allegations he took part in a nationwide criminal scheme to coordinate fundraising with conservative groups.
Christie defended Scott Walker this evening after greeting patrons of a New Hampshire restaurant during a campaign stop for a Republican gubernatorial hopeful. Christie dismissed the allegations against Walker, a potential GOP presidential candidate, as nothing more than attacks from enemies.
“Listen, we all understand that the more you try to bring change to your individual state, and that change starts to sweep the country, the more you’re going to be attacked by your opponents,” said Christie, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate.
“That’s just something you’re going to have to deal with in this job,” he said. “But I’ve already communicated with Scott today, he’s doing well. I completely support him and I look forward to going to Wisconsin and campaigning for him at the appropriate time.”

When a Governor of a US state refers to the process of law enforcement as “attacks from enemies” we can see just how far the Republican Party has fallen. They are no longer a political party, but a front for a network of criminal activities. Witness the fact that they have not proposed a single bill to create jobs or amend healthcare in the past 6-7 years. They are too busy running their criminal empire.

Conversely, Sociopath Walker was the first pol to defend Christie last year when the ‘Bridgegate’ scandal broke. BTW, did I mention Walker was asked to quit Marquette U in Milwaukee for cheating?
