Christie: Obama’s Own FBI Director Admits the Refugees Cannot Be Vetted

‘No Syrian refugees should be admitted, none of them ... until the FBI director tells Congress and the American people that he can effectively vet them’

BRZEZINSKI: “So, you recently said to Hugh Hewitt that you would not accept any new Syrian refugees going as far to say no exception even orphans under the age of 5. Do you want to rephrase that? Other than that --"
CHRISTIE: “No. What I want to say is that no Syrian refugee should be admitted, until the — none of them should be admitted, until the FBI director tells Congress and the American people that he can effectively vet them. And in fact, he said the exact opposite. He went before Congress and said I — we cannot assure you that they can be vetted. Now, this is a guy that I worked with. When I was U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Jim Comey was U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. He was then my boss as Deputy Attorney General. He’s worked for a Republican president now a Democratic president. He is a very credible guy. I’m not going to listen to Barack Obama and his United Nations crowd who wants to get, you know, his next Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing.”
BRZEZINSKI: “So that's why the refugees who arrived in your state yesterday need to go back?”
CHRISTIE: “Well listen, they shouldn’t have come in the first place. But it’s not my choice. It’s a federal issue, Mika. I’ve expressed my concern on behalf of the people of New Jersey that we’re happy to welcome refugees who are properly vetted. And until the president can assure the American people — now he wants to increase the number of refugees we take tenfold, and he wants to vet them in half the time that it took them to vet ten times less.”
BRZEZINSKI: “You do accept there is a vetting process?”
CHRISTIE: “I accept there’s a vetting process that is — that the FBI director has said, not a political appointee of the president, but somebody who is a professional law enforcement guy with a ten year term. So, he doesn’t have to worry about whether the president likes him or doesn’t like him.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Right.”
CHRISTIE: “These other folks are all serving at the pleasure of the president. Not the FBI director. And this is the same FBI director who got in front a Congress and said, there’s a chill wind blowing through law enforcement in this country. Because the president of the United States and other political leaders are not supporting law enforcement. That’s my point.”
