Chris Christie actually said...
Nobody was asking about offsetting budget cuts in Joplin. And I don't want to hear the fact that offsetting budget cuts come first before New Jersey citizens are taken care of. So, you want to figure out budget cuts? That's fine. Turn it into that fiasco like the debt limit thing where they are fighting each other of eight or nine weeks and you expect the citizens of my state to wait. They're not going to wait. And I'm going to fight to make sure that they don't.
Context
