The New Jersey Republican Party sent a fundraising email to supporters Wednesday that attempted to use the scandals surrounding Gov. Chris Christie (R) as an incentive for potential donors.
“Over the past few weeks, the liberal media and Trenton Democrats have relentlessly attacked the Governor despite his strong, decisive leadership. It’s time to stand up to MSNBC, the liberal media and their attacks,” the email said. “[Y]ou have stood with Governor Christie before, and we ask that you reaffirm your support today by committing to contribute $25 a month.”
The email closed by dismissing the coverage of the investigations into the Christie administration’s role in last September’s lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, as well as the administration’s handling of Hurricane Sandy relief funds.
“The people of New Jersey deserve better than the partisan witch hunt they’re currently witnessing on television every night,” the email said.
