Astorino Slams Christie Over Remarks

New York gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino (R) slammed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) after Christie contended as head of the Republican Governor’s Association that Astorino has little chance in his race against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), the Poughkeepsie Journal reports.

Said Astorino: “Clearly, he could come across the bridge and not just raise money for himself but raise money for the Republican candidate here – unless he is unable or unwilling because he has an issue that we don’t know about with Andrew Cuomo and the Bridgegate scandal. And if that’s the case and he feels he can’t do it, then maybe he should step down as chairman because his role is to raise money for Republican candidates.”
