DNC Statement on Chris Christie’s ‘Career Counseling' with Karl Rove

"We already knew that Chris Christie used his position as a US Attorney as a staging ground for his own political career, and now we find out that Christie spoke with disgraced political advisor Karl Rove to discuss running for Governor. This news of Rove's 'career counseling' for Chris Christie is just another troubling example of Christie's use of his office to benefit his own political self interest.

"The Christie campaign's effort to dismiss the Rove-Christie meetings as having had occurred as the 'Bush Administration was winding down' is simply offensive. They can try to spin the meetings as much as they like, but it cannot hide the truth that Christie used his appointed position as a springboard for higher office at the behest of disgraced political shills like Karl Rove," said DNC Spokesman Michael Czin.
