Christie: I Will Hold Hillary Clinton Accountable for the Failed Foreign Policy

‘If I am the president in January of 2017 Guantanamo will stay open and the prisoners won’t be released’

 

KOOIMAN: “Some have said this is an effort by President Obama to make good on campaign promises, and he’s worried more about his legacy than he is worried about our national security. Do you think now is the time to be restricting Second Amendment rights of Americans wanting to protect themselves, and same thing with Guantanamo Bay, releasing 17 bad guys, is now the time to be doing that?”
CHRISTIE: “No, I don’t believe that’s the time to do it. And I said very clearly this, past week, that if I’m the president in January 2017, Guantanamo will stay open and prisoners will not be released. We won’t be trading prisoners for people who go AWOL. We won’t be allowing them to go back out into the fight. Thirty percent of the people whom this president has released from Guantanamo, according to his own director of national intelligence, are now back out in the terrorism fight. This is outrageous. And the legacy the president should be worried about is he is leaving the next president and the next generation of Americans a dark and dangerous world that we’re living in right now. And this North Korean explosion this morning is just another example of it. And so, [indecipherable] of legacy the president should be worried about. And let me tell you, this foreign policy that has led to this was crafted by the woman who wants to be his successor, Hillary Clinton, and she needs to be held to account for it. When I’m the nominee I’m going to hold her to account on that stage this September.”
