Chris Christie: "If I was in the Senate right now, I'd kill myself"

“If I was in the Senate right now, I’d kill myself,” the Republican governor of New Jersey told the Philadelphia Inquirer’s editorial board. The response came when Christie was asked what he would do if he was a member of the upper chamber during the current crisis.

“This is why I’ve never had any interest in being in a legislative body,” the Philadelphia Inquirer quotes Christie as saying. …

“I think quite frankly, to be fair, I don’t think you hear responsible Republican leaders advocating a shutdown of the government,” Christie told CBS News.
