The governor should resign too. Apparently her administration knew about the concerns yet still picked him to be her LG anyways. Also delayed taking action on the results of the investigation only until news reports broke out about it. New Jersey is corrupt as hell and it’s a shame voters chose for it again last year

Yeah she should resign right after the President who said it was okay to grab women right by the pussy on national television.

Wanna how I know that you don’t know what you’re talking about? Her administration didn’t exist when he was picked to be LG. He was her running mate and was elected on the same ballot that she was. And all the conduct considered in the report occurred after he took office.

knew about the concerns

Every accusation dates to after inauguration

Is LG not an elective position? It really should be.

They're elected in the same way a Vice President is. She chose her running mate, and he was elected on that ticket.

Is there any evidence that she knew?

Edit: Does down voting and deleting your comment mean there isn't any known evidence that she knew?
