“It’s safe to say General Flynn and I didn’t see eye to eye,” said Christie, “in that I didn’t feel that he was someone who would bring benefit to the president or to the administration. And I made that very clear to candidate Trump, and I made it very clear to President-elect Trump.”
“If I were President-elect of the United States, I wouldn’t let General Flynn in the White House,” he later added.
