Taxpayers Picking Up Krispykreme Christie's Campaign "Security" Costs


Expectations are that New Jersey Governor and never-gonna-be-President Chris "Krispykreme" Christie won't last much longer in the crowded clown car bus, with his poll numbers falling and his in-your-face, bully-boy shtick having been co-opted by billionaire buffoon Donald "Rump" Trump.  Once a rising star in the Republican / New Confederate / Stupid Party, Krispykreme saw his popularity among the raging base of his party drop after touring Hurricane Sandy damage in 2012 with President Obama and sharing a brief bro' hug with the Kenyan Usurper.  The pay-to-play political revenge saga of "Bridgegate" and New Jersey's Krispykreme-generated economic woes also served to make him an increasingly unpopular governor.

Now, New Jersey Working Families, a progressive advocacy group, is suing Krispykreme for using State funds on his campaign to provide "security."  Analilia Mejia, executive director of the group, put it this way:
"We do not believe that the residents and the taxpayers of the state of New Jersey should be on the hook for what is essentially the private decision our governor made to run for higher office. It is obviously within his right to seek another job. However, it should not automatically mean that New Jersey taxpayers have to redirect precious funds to his private gain."
We're certain the voters of New Jersey would like to see him "seek another job," even though he embarrassed himself earlier this year by saying that New Jersey voters didn't think he'd make a good President because they wanted him to stay as Governor.  If you believe that, we have a bridge to block.
