Story highlights Christie said that every presidential candidate brings forward their personal story so that "absolutely" is open to scrutiny from the media.

The Republican candidate told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" that Carson's complaints about the media's questioning his biography -- a central feature of his presidential campaign -- are misplaced.
