New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie put in his two cents Thursday morning on just how "biased" he thought the CNBC moderators' questions were at last night's third Republican presidential debate. "First of all, the moderators just didn't do their jobs last night," Christie said on MSNBC's Morning Joe, echoing other conservatives' dissatisfaction with the host network's handling of the event.
"They were biased, their questions were biased. They didn't do their job controlling the debate, either. It became something of a free-for-all," Christie said. In fact, in Christie's opinion, the CNBC moderators were angling for fights between candidates. "They want us to kill each other," he said.
