New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says Romney should release tax returns

Mitt Romney supporter Gov. Chris Christie now joins democrats and other GOP presidential candidates in saying Romney should release his tax returns.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Christie said the following:

“The way I’ve conducted myself in my public life all along is I’ve released all my tax returns, and I did it during the campaign — went back a number of years and released my tax returns, and I’ve released them every year right after I filed them to the public in New Jersey so they can see everything.

And I think that’s the right way to go, and that’s what I would tell Governor Romney to do. Now he says he’s going to release them in April. I hope he does.

The fact of that matter is that’s what I would advise him to do.”

The subject of Romney’s tax returns begins around 8:30 of the video.
