Another lie from Chris Christie at the GOP debate tonight was his claim of never supporting Planned Parenthood. Problem is all that fat on Chris Christie is clouding his memory. Or maybe he’s thinking back to his Obama hugging days. In 1994, Chris Christie was so enthusiastic of abortion mill Planned Parenthood, he gave them a sizeable financial contribution.

The only problem is that Christie has supported Planned Parenthood. Christie was quoted in a 1994 interview in the Newark Star-Ledger as not only backing a woman’s right to an abortion, but donating money to Planned Parenthood.
“I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations,” Christie said. “It’s also no secret that I am pro-choice.”
This is not the first time that the New Jersey governor has attempted to revise history. Last June, Christie claimed that no new gun control legislation had been passed since he took over as governor. This too is false.
It’s not hard to see why Christie, facing an array of conservative opponents, would feel the need to amend his track record on guns and reproductive rights. But lying about details that are so easily searchable on the internet might not be the best way to go about it.
Get Chris Christie off the main stage. Put Rand Paul or Carly Fiorina in his place.
