Chris Christie for President

"Law Enforcer" +

:30 ad from Aug. 24, 2015.

[Music/Sound]

Christie: Lawlessness in America and around the world under Barack Obama.

Sanctuary cities engulfing Americans in crime.

Drugs running rampant and destroying lives.

ISIS beheading Christians.

Iranian radicals and nuclear weapons.

Now Hillary Clinton thinks the law doesn’t apply to her. 

[Music/Sound stops]

Really?

[Music/Sound resumes]

We need a strong law-enforcer as president.

Someone who says what he means and means what he says.

We can do it. Let’s make America a leader again.

I’m Chris Christie and I approve this message.


Notes: Christie's third TV ad.  According to the campaign, "The ad highlights the President's failure to enforce the laws and directly addresses Secretary Clinton's arrogance in thinking she is above the law."


Both the pro-Clinton super PAC Correct the Record and the DNC responded.

Correct the Record:

Chris Christie’s new television ad is the clearest evidence yet that his campaign is in desperation mode—and that he is willing to say or do anything to get back in the media spotlight.

Christie disgustingly compares Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email to ISIS beheading civilians and religious minorities in the Middle East, an attack that should be beneath anyone who aspires to be commander in chief. But Christie doesn’t stop there. He also launches a series of disconnected broadside attacks that are easily refuted by his own record.

Here’s a word to the wise for the struggling Christie campaign: if your candidate is the one who cut police funding, who presided over a statewide wave of drug overdoses, and who actually faced a federal criminal investigation, maybe dial it back a bit on the law-and-order rhetoric.

Democratic National Committee:

Instead of “telling it like it is,” Chris Christie is misleading the public yet again with an ad that is as non-transparent as his statements and record as governor.  

Tell it like it is? Christie completely ignores the fact that he’s been wrapped up in political scandal since 2013 when his aides intentionally closed lanes on the George Washington Bridge to exact retribution on a Democratic mayor who refused to endorse the governor’s reelection bid. Afterwards, Christie deleted numerous text messages of interest to those investigating the lane closures.

When it comes to foreign policy, Governor Christie offers no legitimate plans of his own, admitting his own ignorance; and under his watch New Jersey’s drug overdose rate has ballooned – while Christie failed to commit sufficient state resources to the crisis. Christie has also refused to execute the state’s laws for proper funding of schools, affordable housing, or the pensions for working New Jerseyans.
