Malloy, given chance to bash New Jersey’s Christie, demurs, but whacks Foley

Gov. Dannel Malloy, asked outside Bridgeport’s East Side Senior Center, had a chance to criticize New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and went after his gubernatorial nemesis Tom Foley, over the handling of the Ebola outbreak. “I don’t need to get into more fights with more states,” Malloy said to a pair of reporters when asked whether the governors of New York and New Jersey over-reacted. “But the reality is I think we were more prepared and we took steps early and as you know, I’m running against a guy who scoffed and laughed when I declared that emergency. Now he says he actually supports it. He scoffed and laughed and said ‘Why would the governor do that? The nearest case of Ebola was 1,700 miles away.’ I think I was right and he was wrong. We were prepared. He would not have been if he was governor.” christom
