NJ Governor Chris Christie took to the airways this morning to bash Sen. Ted Cruz over his past no vote on Hurricane Sandy relief. As we told you yesterday, Sen. Cruz defended his vote by saying that the Sandy bill was filled with pork. Gov. Christie, however, called that a lie:
"It's disgusting to me that he's standing in a recovery center w/victims standing behind him as a backdrop & he's.." https://t.co/45MwxzIhI5

And he said it multiple times this morning:

Before turning to Chris Christie for storm recovery expertise, producers should read about his post Sandy handiwork. https://t.co/BF0TZQwZYY
