Chris Christie in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2015

On Civil Rights: Black Lives Matter encourages cop killing

CHRISTIE: There's lawlessness in this country. The president encourages this lawlessness.

Q: Encourages it how?

CHRISTIE: By his own rhetoric. He does not support the police. He justifies Black Lives Matter.

Q: But Black Lives Matter shouldn't be justified at all?

CHRISTIE: Listen, I don't believe that that movement should be justified when they're calling for the murder of police officers.

Q: But they're not calling for the murder of police officers.

CHRISTIE: Sure, they are. They have been chanting in the streets for the murder of police officers.

Q: Well, individuals have, but the Black Lives Matter.

CHRISTIE: Well, listen, that's what the movement is creating. And the president of the United States is justifying that. But not only that, he hasn't backed up police officers from the minute he's gotten into office. When there are bad cops, they need to be prosecuted, like there are bad lawyers and bad doctors and bad engineers

On Corporations: Overhaul ridiculous tax system so companies stop leaving

"Secondly," he added, "we would pass a national energy policy, and one that takes full advantage of all of the resources that we have available to us to help grow our economy and make the world a more peaceful and stable place."

"And the third thing," he said, "is to reestablish American leadership around the world."
