Former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, the Republican nominee for Governor of New Jersey, is now responding to attacks over his undisclosed loan to a subordinate and a newly-revealed 2005 traffic stop in a fun, new-media way: Total mockery.
The Christie campaign has sent out a “BREAKING NEWS” press release: “This morning, Chris Christie stopped for a bottle of water at his local convenience store. At the cash register, Christie nabbed a penny from the penny tray to cover his $1.36 tab, but did not put a penny back.”
Recipients are encouraged to chip in with their own mocking headlines through a new Twitter tag, #notnews. When asked for comment, the Corzine campaign has reiterated its statement from yesterday, openly accusing Christie of abusing his then-office by trying to get out of the traffic stop. Check out the full press release after the jump.
