You remember the story about when Chris Christie ran over the man on the motorcycle and blamed the guy for hitting him? Now not only is it not his fault for the accident, but he's saying the officer was wrong on the police report. On Fox and Friends this morning, Christie reminded everyone that the guy hit him and added a new twist to the story, saying that he wasn't driving the wrong way on a one way street:
Christie told a police officer he "was traveling west on Murray Street and was lost. He reached Chilton Street, the light was red, so he inched forward attempting to make a right on red, but never saw the one-way traffic sign. He then stopped upon observing oncoming traffic."
A motorcycle driven by Andre Mendonca "also braked. The motorcycle fell on its side and slid into his vehicle." Mendonca said that he was traveling on Chilton Street when Christie turned in front of him."
The diagram clearly shows Christie turning the wrong way down a one way street, the report clearly states that Christie did not realize it was a one way street and even mentions that he stopped among seeing ONCOMING traffic. If you don't turn the wrong way, why is traffic oncoming?
You have to wonder how law enforcement feels about a candidate for governor letting stand for several years a police report that accuses him of what he now says he was innocent of, then lets news reports of same stand for over a month- even though there was a police report duly filed by the officer - then comes out days before an election to, essentially, question the officer's professional responsibility and job performance. And that's after the officer used the discretion not to issue Mr. Christie a ticket.
I guess there's just one set of street signs for Chris Christie. Another set for everyone else.
