A top aide to Chris Christie is connected to a traffic jam orchestrated a few months ago. Evidence has shown, through emails and texts, that the top aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, gave the order for the traffic jam: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." News outlets seem to be attributing the act as retribution against a mayor who declined to endorse Christie's 2013 reelection.
Really?! Causing a traffic jam to get back at a mayor? What is this, elementary school? The kid didn't support you for student council so you're going to bully him? While to my knowledge there's no direct connection to Christie (which he denies involvement or knowledge of such event), it does dishearten me that politics still manages to act like school children. I also wonder how this'll affect Christie's presidential bid, should he choose to seek such route. At least he only shut down a lane, rather than the whole government.
So what are other people's thoughts on the matter?
