NANCY CORDES: Got it, we'll hold you to that. You know, you said at the debate, and it got a lot of attention that candidates need to stop normalizing Trump's conduct. But you stood by him after he was accused of rape, after he praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, after he was impeached. Didn't you normalize his conduct for a long time as well?
NANCY CORDES: I want to move to an issue that a lot of Republican voters in particular care about, which is immigration. On the debate stage, a couple of your opponents seem to suggest that they would send troops into Mexico to fight the drug cartels. Governor DeSantis said he would deploy US special forces.
CHRISTIE: No, Nancy, look, I think that what we're doing is protecting the border, they will be working with Customs and Border Patrol folks hand-in-hand, they can effectuate the arrest. But you obviously have greater force there to prevent them from coming over the border in the first place and so it's a combination of the two of them, Customs and Border Patrol would still be the law enforcement agency, but they need backup, they need help.
