BOSTON—In response to Gov. Baker’s endorsing Chris Christie for president, Massachusetts Democratic Party spokesman Pat Beaudry released the following statement:

“Just which part of Chris Christie’s campaign platform does Charlie Baker support? Defunding Planned Parenthood? Rejecting common-sense gun control? Eliminating the Department of Education? Denying the climate change crisis? Repealing Wall Street reform?"

"Supporting Chris Christie for President is like closing down the George Washington Bridge during rush hour: a really stupid idea which might seem harmless but could actually endanger people’s lives."
