Christie: Hillary Clinton Owns the Iran Deal ‘Wholeheartedly’

HEWITT: “Hillary owns this deal, doesn’t she?”

CHRISTIE: “Yes, she does. Secretary Clinton has supported this deal wholeheartedly. This foreign policy is her foreign policy. She owns the disaster of the first term, and she now owns the biggest lie of the second term, which is that this deal can be verified. It can’t be under the conditions of this deal with was cut by her patron, Barack Obama.”

HEWITT: “She’s trying to move the campaign off of these issues. She’s trying to move it to Donald Trump. She’s trying to move it to income inequality. She’s attacking Uber, for goodness sake. Does that work? Does national security, which is always a hard sell to the average American who’s worried about their job, stay front and center in this era?”

CHRISTIE: “I think it can, Hugh, because remember something. America has never, never taken out of balance the balance of power we’ve had on the nuclear deterrent for the last 70 years, this president is now turned it on its head, which means that America is a much more vulnerable place today than it was before the president signed that agreement. When the American people believe that their national security is threatened, they get focused on those issues. And I think unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, they’re going to be focused on the fact that she has played an enormous role in making America more vulnerable.”
