Perhaps trailing in the polls pushed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to release a video showing him taking on Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on the issue of abortion.
No matter the reason, Christie’s newly released video may prove to be devastating for Team Hillary.“Secretary Clinton,” Christie says in the two-minute clip, “why don’t you answer this question: Do you support the conduct of Planned Parenthood in the killing of children in the womb in a way that maximizes their body parts for sale on the open market?”
Christie asks in the video: “Secretary Clinton, answer that question. I just did.”
Brutal.
And this move by Christie is politically smart considering the release of a fifth Planned Parenthood video that shows one of its research directors boasting about their ability to abort and sell fully intact fetuses, a violation of federal law.
Christie also knows that Hillary Clinton is not inclined to answer political questions that might expose her to attacks–a major contributing factor to why her trustworthy and favorability numbers are tanking.Christie also touts New Jersey defunding of Planned Parenthood while continuing to financial support health qualified health clinics that don’t do abortions.
It will be interesting to see how Hillary handles this challenge from Christie in the coming days and weeks.
