Gov. Christie on Iran Deal: ‘You Give Them Your Belt, They Want Your Pants Next’

‘That’s the way it goes!’

CHRISTIE: “He’s giving Iran a nuclear weapon. The largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world is moving toward a nuclear weapon with the permission of the United States. It's outrageous. It's an outrageous thing to do and the president now extends the talks about a week, another week, you know, you give them your belt. They want your pants next. I mean, that's the way it goes. I said over the weekend in New Hampshire, you wouldn't buy a car this way, let alone have nuclear talks this way. You can't look like you want the car that much, and the president cares much more about his legacy now and having some -- his signature on some kind of agreement with Iran than whether it's a good agreement for the country and for the world. If you are our allies in the Middle East, what do you think? This is a bad thing for the president and I think he should just get smart about this, walk away from the table, increase the sanctions. The Iranians will come back to the table.”
