NJ Radio: Chris Christie Talks Bridgegate On NJ 101

Chris Christie

Gov. Chris Christie, addressing the Bridgegate scandal in a live WKXW 101.5 FM NJ101 interview Monday night, said he wants the people of New Jersey to know, “I had nothing to do with this” and “I’m going to fix it.” He also took a swipe at critics he said were engaging in “a game of gotcha.”

In his first appearance on the Townsquare Network’s Ask the Governor program since Dec. 23, Christie was asked by host Eric Scott about the series of explosive developments that have followed, including revelations of emails showing his deputy chief of staff involved in the disruptive closing of approach lanes to the George Washington Bridge last September as apparent political retribution and his own decision to fire her “because she lied” about the matter.


“I had nothing to do with this,” Christie said, repeating earlier assertions about the lane closings several times Monday night. “No knowledge, no authority, no planning– nothing to do with this before this decision was made to close these lanes by the Port Authority.”

He added, “While I’m disappointed in what happened here, I’m going to fix it.”
