Optics? What optics?
Gov. Chris Christie got blistered online Monday after he was photographed sunning himself with his family on a New Jersey beach that he had closed to the public because of a government shutdown.
Christie defended his use of the beach, saying he had previously announced his vacation plans and the media had simply "caught a politician keeping his word."
The Republican governor was photographed Sunday by NJ.com at Island Beach State Park lounging on a beach chair in sandals and a T-shirt.
"I didn't get any sun today," Christie told reporters at a news conference later in the day in Trenton. Then, when told of the photos, his spokesman told NJ.com that was true because Christie was wearing a baseball hat.
