Chris Christie Baldly Lied about His Record Last Night
Christie was just getting warmed up. "Secondly, I never wrote a check to Planned Parenthood," he continued. Did he make his donation with cash or by credit card, then? Bob Ingle's Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power (2012), quotes him declaring in a 1994 race for Morris County freeholder that he supports "Planned Parenthood with my personal contribution."Did Christie just lie about past Planned Parenthood donation?
In response to the question, Christie said: "Well I never donated to Planned Parenthood, so that's wrong."
"So, just on the Planned Parenthood," Dickerson pressed. "Never donated, never supported?"
"No. No," Christie said.
However, the governor's statement doesn't fit with what he had to say in 1994 while a candidate for county office.
"I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations," Christie was quoted saying in The Star-Ledger on Sept. 30, 1994. "It's also no secret that I am pro-choice."Also read: Christie in damage-control mode over past talk of Planned Parenthood donation
