New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says the Republican-controlled Congress has been "a failure" that hasn't delivered on the results they promised.
Christie made the comments on the Mike Gallagher Show Monday while speaking about the Iran nuclear deal.
"Well, what did we expect when we put a weakling like John Kerry in charge of the negotiation. You know, personality matters and when you were asking before, 'what will Christie presidency be know for?' It will be known for the same thing the governorship of New Jersey has been known for the last few years," Christie told radio host Mike Gallagher on Monday.
"We're tough, we're direct, and we get things done," added Christie. "And I think what people are upset about around the country is that government doesn't even work for them anymore. And so, that's why I rail against the Republican Congress."
Christie proceeded to bluntly label the Republican-controlled Congress a failure.
"I rail against them because I had great hopes for them, as so many people in this country," Christie said. "And they haven't delivered on that hope. And we need to tell the truth. I mean, just because they're Republicans it doesn't mean that I can't criticize them. And that's the problem with David Brooks and others like him. I'm supposed to only criticize Democrats? Believe me, you heard my speeches Michael, I've had plenty criticism for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton"
"But you know what, the Republican Congress is a failure. It's a failure and we have to stand up and say it so that we can change it," continued Christie. "And when I become president, I'll drag them to the water to drink."
