Six NJ newspapers call on Gov Christie to resign

[book_worm]

Six New Jersey newspapers issued a joint editorial Tuesday calling on Gov. Chris Christie to resign in the wake of his failed presidential campaign and his subsequent endorsement of rival Donald Trump.

The six newspapers including the Asbury Park Press, the Cherry Hill Courier-Post and the Morristown Daily Record — all Gannett-owned papers that are part of the USA TODAY NETWORK — were apparently spurred to editorial outrage by a Monday press conference in which Christie refused to answer questions about anything other than his nomination of a state Supreme Court judge. Asked why, Christie replied, "Because I don't want to."

"We’re fed up with Gov. Chris Christie’s arrogance," the papers wrote. "We’re fed up with his opportunism. We’re fed up with his hypocrisy."

The joint editorial notes that Christie spent part of 261 days out of state last year and traveled out of state to endorse Trump and campaign with him after he quit the race Feb. 10.

Maybe a job as Trump's lap dog isn't such a bad idea?

1. Gannett. The same paper that endorsed him years before

I'm sure.

Maybe do a better job at influencing the general public on the best candidate next time Gannett!

5. No one loved Davos and hated unions more than Gannett.

Frank somebody. Those bastards at Carlyle Group bought Editor & Publisher, so the archives with Operation Tiger are now pay-to-know.

2. Christie is an idiot who does care about public opinion

Can he be voted out?

3. No He Can't....

and a recall election wouldn't take place until just before the next election anyway. The legislature doesn't have the guts or the votes to impeach him. Barring his indictment-actually barring his conviction- he's here to finish out his term. However, I appreciate the sentiment that there is finally an appreciation of the depth of his depravity.
