Likely Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said Thursday that he has been scrutinized far more heavily by the media than Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton when it comes to their respective controversies.
“If I had come out the day after the Bridgegate thing was announced and said, 'By the way, um, all my e-mails are on a private server and I deleted a whole bunch of them and I destroyed the server, but you need to take my word for it, the e-mails had nothing to do with the bridge stuff,' can you only imagine what the reaction would have been?” Christie said on CNBC's Squawk Box.
