Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey on Thursday heatedly said “The next attack that comes, that kills thousands of Americans …”

“If Governor Christie believes the constitutional rights and the privacy of all Americans is ‘esoteric,’ he either needs a new dictionary or he needs to talk to more Americans, because a great number of them are concerned about the dramatic overreach of our government in recent years,” a senior adviser to Congressman Rand Paul said.
