Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor running for president as a Republican, told CBS’s John Dickerson Sunday that he “never donated to Planned Parenthood.” Christie was responding to a charge by one of his GOP rivals, Florida senator Marco Rubio, who said late last week that the two-term governor “personally contributed” to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
Rubio’s charge came after a super PAC supporting him released an ad leveling that same allegation toward Christie. Christie told the Washington Post last week that Rubio was trying to “slime” his way to the White House. Christie maintained on Face the Nation Sunday that the charge from Rubio and Rubio’s super PAC was not true.
