Christie on Drug Epidemic: It’s a Murder of Our People from Within

EXCERPT:

CHRISTIE: "Listen, it’s — 175 people a day in the United States die of drug overdose right now. 175 people a day. We have 9/11 every two and a half weeks. And so, you know, when I’ve had some people who are in my party argue with me about what do you spend on this, what I say to them is, 'If we had a terrorist attack every day that killed 175 Americans, how much would you spend to make it stop?' And that’s what’s happening. It’s a murder of our people from within and we have to go after it."
