Chris Christie attacks Rand Paul for siding with the terrorists
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) tore into GOP senators Rand Paul (R) and Mike Lee (R) this morning for their criticism of the Patriot Act.
Paul, who again outlined his problems with the NSA's massive surveillance program last night on The Kelly File, claims that the data collection actually makes the country less safe and violates the Fourth Amendment.
Christie, on the other hand, believes the NSA should have broader powers. He said that as a former U.S. attorney, he has used the Patriot Act and knows first-hand how valuable it is.
"The fact is all the different people expressing opinions on this, in the Senate right now, none of them have used the Patriot Act, none of them have prosecuted terrorists. I have. So, they talk about it from a different perspective, I talk about it from a real-life perspective, which is why I feel I have to speak out about it now, because no one else in this national conversation right now has the practical experience I have," said Christie.
Lee called out Christie specifically, saying he should be "ashamed of himself" for saying that we have to choose between following the Constitution and being attacked by terrorists.
