Excerpt:
Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie said that criticism of his record on sharia is "Internet blog B.S" when asked about it on March 29 at a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Las Vegas. His office then uploaded the video to its YouTube page, presumably proud of his answer and the applause that followed.
Christie's comment was part of a passionate five-minute answer to a question about his alleged support for sharia. He disingenuously claimed that the criticism is all about Sohail Mohammed, an Indian Muslim and naturalized citizen who he appointed as a Superior Court Judge in 2011.
"This is really perplexing to me, I have to tell you. This all came from me appointing a Muslim man to the state court bench in N.J.," he began.
