He said her performance as secretary of state was dismal and that voters should hold her accountable for failures in Libya, Syria and elsewhere.
“Hillary Clinton is asking the people of this country and the people of the United States to make her the first President in history to take the oath of office after already having violated it”, he said.
“It is our obligation to stop Hillary Clinton now, and never let her get within 10 miles of the White House again”, Christie said.
Mrs Clinton has faced intense criticism and scrutiny over a scandal involving her using a personal email server to handle classified communications while she was Secretary of State. Listing, one by one, a selection of GOP-authored bills that President Barack Obama had vetoed, the Senate Majority Leader repeated the simple, uninspiring mantra: “Donald Trump would sign it”.
