“Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie blasted President Obama on Sunday for ‘justifying’ the Black Lives Matter movement, which the New Jersey governor says has called for the killing of law enforcement officials. ‘The problem is this, there’s lawlessness in this country,’ Christie said. ‘The president encourages this lawlessness. … He does not support the police, he doesn’t back up the police, he justifies Black Lives Matter,’ he added. …
“Christie also slammed the president for his record on working with a Republican majority in Congress. ‘Our members of Congress have a job to do and what you need to do as president is to bring them together to set the priorities and then to get to know them, to cajole them, to threaten them …,’ Christie said. ‘That’s what a president’s job is.'”
