>Christie : his position to strengthen civil unions between gay and lesbian couples is the same as President Barack Obama’s position
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie hammered openly gay Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart Thursday in a faceoff over the legalization of gay marriage, which Christie has vetoed in his state.
“I used to be a prosecutor. I’m not going to be cross-examined by you this morning,” said Christie to Capehart in a heated exchange on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “You’re going to lose.”
Earlier on in the show, Christie insisted that his position to strengthen civil unions between gay and lesbian couples is the same as President Barack Obama’s position.
“The Democrats in my state are criticizing me, saying my feet are firmly planted on the wrong side of justice. I said yesterday, ‘yeah, my feet are firmly planted right next to President Obama.’ And they don’t criticize him,” the governor said. (Mak, Politico)
