PARAMUS, N.J. - Gov. Christie says the shooting of a congresswoman in Arizona won't stop him from meeting with voters.
New Jersey's Republican governor was flanked by more state police security than usual on Thursday as he met voters at a town-hall meeting in Paramus.
Christie began by referencing last weekend's shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D., Ariz.). The blunt governor urged civility in the forums, even when people disagree.
Earlier in the day, Christie praised President Obama's memorial speech in Tucson for bringing people together. He also told ABC's Good Morning America that he believed Sarah Palin could have chosen her words more carefully when she used the phrase blood libel to rebuke critics. However, Christie said he did not think anybody believed that Palin was trying to "bring violence on."
