TRENTON, NJ — Two Democratic lawmakers sent letters yesterday to all 120 New Jersey legislators, urging them to condemn Gov. Chris Christie’s suggestion that the media “take the bat out” on a state senator who criticized him.

Bergen County Assembly members Valerie Vainieri Huttle and Connie Wagner are demanding a retraction and an apology to Sen. Loretta Weinberg, 76, saying Christie’s comment advocates violence against women and sets a poor example.
