News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday likened New Jersey Gov. Christie to a suicide bomber after the Republican presidential candidate finished sixth in the New Hampshire primary.

The New Jersey governor went home to New Jersey on Wednesday to make a decision about his next steps, and reports indicate that he will suspend his campaign.
