NJ Star-Ledger Regrets Endorsing Christie: 'We Blew This One'

The Newark Star-Ledger's editorial page editor on Sunday explained why he had some regrets about endorsing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) in 2013, but stopped short of saying he would never support the scandal-laden politician again.

"An endorsement is not a love embrace. It is a choice between two flawed human beings. And the winner is often the less bad option," editor Tom Moran wrote in a column. "But yes, we blew this one."

Moran said that the paper new about many of Christie's flaws, but that they did not understand the extent of his corruption.

"Yes, we knew Christie was a bully. But we didn't know his crew was crazy enough to put people's lives at risk in Fort Lee as a means to pressure the mayor," he wrote. "We didn’t know he would use Hurricane Sandy aid as a political slush fund."
