New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said on Tuesday that President Barack Obama “should have walked away” from the deal to rein in Iran’s nuclear program.
In a statement posted to Twitter, Christie said the deal was preceded by “two years of humiliating concessions by President Obama” and led to Obama playing “a dangerous game” with national security.
“The deal as structured will lead to a nuclear Iran and, then, a nuclearized Middle East,” the statement read.
The Republican presidential hopeful urged Congress to override Obama’s threatened veto.
Here’s his full statement

He still thinks he’s the belle of the ball. No one cares what you think.
National security is a lot more nuanced than just blowing things up that you don’t like. But the right doesn’t do nuance.
It’s pathetically predictable that the right would denounce this without even reading the agreement. If it is done by Obama, it must be, by definition, a bad thing. Grow up GOP. Try thinking about the country rather than your petty politics for a change.
But he’s well versed on the deal even though the details were released after his statement. Also, he’s a great negotiator, who else could turn a 9 billion win into a 250million win?
