Chris Christie Slams ‘Done Nothing’ Republican Congress

[brooklynite]

Roll Call

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — languishing in the polls amid the Donald Trump surge — trained his fire on the Republican Congress Wednesday, saying they had “done nothing” this year.

In an appearance on conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt’s program, Christie took aim at Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and sought to tar the Republican senators running for office with the same d0-nothing brush.

Asked whether Boehner and McConnell should capitulate to the White House’s demands for Planned Parenthood funding and other spending, Christie launched into a broad indictment of Republican leadership:

“Well, they’ve put themselves in this position. Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell put themselves in this position. I would have passed tax reform months ago, real tax reform that Republicans are for, and put it on the president’s desk. I would have passed a repeal and the replacement of Obamacare, and put it on the president’s desk. I would have passed a restriction of the president’s regulatory ability and put it on his desk, and made him decide whether he wanted to veto those things or not so the American people would know who the real obstructionist is.”

Maybe someone should explain to Christie how this Republican Primary thing works...

5. he's eligible to be Speaker of the House. Maybe he should challenge Boehner

since he seems to think he could do that job easily.
