Cuccinelli says Christie should resign chairmanship of Republican Governors Association
Gov. Chris Christie should resign as chairman of the Republican Governors Association as his administration deals with a pair of scandals, a former GOP candidate for governor of Virginia said on CNN tonight.
"He does not serve the goals of the organization by staying as chairman," Ken Cuccinelli said during an appearance on "Crossfire." "And that doesn't mean any of the charges, political or otherwise or substantive or not, it doesn't matter. Perception is reality."
Christie took over in November as chairman of the RGA, an organization that helps raise money for Republican candidates for governor.
Cuccinelli, the former attorney general for Virginia who ran an unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign last year, was asked why Christie hasn't stepped down from the role.
"Frankly, I think this is still relatively new," he said. "And he may well step down. I have no idea what his thinking is on that. And he may get some counsel from some other governors along those lines."
