Chris Christie Slams DHS Sec Over His 'Wrong' Response To Drone Sightings
HuffPost
The former New Jersey governor said officials were "not answering the questions" as he ripped Alejandro Mayorkas' interview on the sightings.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday went after federal officials over their response to mysterious nighttime drone sightings that have sparked concerns among those in the Garden State and elsewhere on the East Coast.
“Let me tell you something. I agree that they need more authority. But ... to say this is not unusual activity, it’s just wrong,” said Christie, who noted that he and his wife saw drones over their New Jersey home in an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week.”
His remarks arrived moments after George Stephanopoulos spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about the sightings that have prompted investigations by state and local officials as well as the FBI.
Mayorkas told Stephanopoulos that “thousands of drones” are flown daily in the U.S. and people may be seeing more drones now due to the Federal Aviation Administration tweaking its rules to allow the aircraft to fly at night in 2023.
He emphasized that the federal government isn’t aware of any reason for concern or hasn’t identified foreign involvement and criminal activity.
