Democrats Respond as NJ Gov. Christie Vetoes Marriage Bill

As promised, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has vetoed a marriage equality bill passed by both houses of the state legislature.

But New Jersey Assembly Democrats have not given up hope. As Towleroad reports, "A two-thirds vote in each chamber is necessary to override Christie's veto, and can be attempted as many times as necessary until January 2014. A veto override in the House would require 12 more votes, and 3 more votes in the Senate."

Below is the New Jersey Assembly Democrats' video response to Christie:
