Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday blasted President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after a weak July jobs report, calling it "irresponsible" and likening the move to tantrum politics.
What Happened: On ABC's "This Week," Christie said, "When he [Trump] gets news he doesn’t like, he needs someone to blame because he won’t take the responsibility himself, and this is the action of a petulant child. Like, you give me bad news, I fire the messenger."
