Image
It is heartbreaking to me that I wasn't told the truth. I'm a very loyal guy, and I expect loyalty in return. And lying to me is not an exhibition of loyalty.
Chris Christie
Image
The answer is I am not committed to doing anything in a new administration or not.
Chris Christie
Image
Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics, but it's awful policy.
Chris Christie
Image
Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.

I'm a conservative, pro-life governor in a state where it is really tough to be both. A state like New Jersey, with lots of Democrats, but still we cut taxes, we balanced budgets. We fought the teacher's union.

There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims: the House majority and their Speaker John Boehner.
Chris Christie

Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government, and that means making some tough choices, tightening our belts.
Chris Christie
Image
I'm tired of dealing with the crazies.
Chris Christie

Never be easy for any president to deal with any Congress. But republicans got to work together. We got to get things done.

I'd rather have my teeth drilled than listen to that awful song, 'Fly, Eagles Fly.'
Chris Christie

This is a difference between being a governor and being in a legislature. Because when something doesn't work in New Jersey, they look at me, say: Why didn't it get done? Why didn't you do it? You have to be responsible and accountable.
Chris Christie
Image
I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
Chris Christie
Image
I am not going to make any commitments to the teachers union to do anything until they do something that's other than in their own self-interest. And everything they have done so far is in their self-interests, and that's it.
Chris Christie
Image
It is our obligation to stop Hillary Clinton now.
Chris Christie
Image
If you're sick, take your sick day. If you don't take your sick day, know what your reward is? You weren't sick - that was the reward.
Chris Christie
Image
When elected, I will make education funding a top priority and I believe we must ensure those dollars reach our children and the classroom
Chris Christie
Image
Today is the day for the complaining to end and for statesmanship to begin. Today I am taking action to cut state spending and balance the budget this year.
Chris Christie
Image
The bottom line is that I have a job to do to help get the new administration ready. If there's some role for me that I want to do and the president-elect wants me to do - we've known each other 14 years. We'll talk about it.
Chris Christie
Image
When you're exonerated, then the people who wrongly accused you should have the guts to stand up and say, I'm sorry.

I think what he [Donald Trump] has said is that people are not going to be eligible for legalization or citizenship unless they leave the country and get back in line.
