A Fox Business Network moderator asked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) a question about bridges during Thursday’s Republican presidential debate—but not about that bridge.
“What is your plan to fix the ailing roads and bridges across the country without breaking the bank?” Maria Bartiromo asked Christie at one point.
Former Christie aides became embroiled in the infamous “Bridgegate” scandal in 2013, after it was revealed that they directed lane closures on the George Washington Bridge that snarled traffic for days. The aides allegedly orchestrated the lane closures in order to exact political retribution on a Democratic mayor who refused to endorse Christie’s re-election bid. Christie has long maintained that he knew nothing about the lane closures.
