New Jersey governor and Donald Trump sidekick Chris Christie spent Friday morning hosting the Boomer & Carton Show on WFAN radio in New York, where he talked a bit about the NFL Draft.

Christie saw the video of offensive tackle prospect Laremy Tunsil apparently smoking marijuana sometime in the past through a gas mask bong, which apparently got him really, really high.
“It’s unbelievable,” Christie said. “Because the bong hits aren’t enough. Give me the gas mask too. It’s incredible. I can’t take my eyes off it. It’s unbelievable.”
For Christie -- the former U.S. attorney and a devout guardian of both Rutgers football and American ideals of justice -- Tunsil’s actions are a grave problem.
And the governor has a strong take on what to do about it, via BuzzFeed’s Christopher Massie:
“When I was a prosecutor, I would’ve gone in and cuffed this guy,” Christie said. “I would’ve been all over it.”
The governor isn't barring any holds, and give him credit for it. Any prosecutor's first instinct upon seeing evidence of a crime from "several years ago" should be to immediately arrest the perpetrator, because evidence usually holds up for years on end and most states don't have any statute of limitations on any sort of criminal offense.
The only pitfall in Christie’s plan?
Tunsil runs about a five-second 40-yard dash, and there’s no chance Officer Christie would be able to catch him on foot. But the governor’s commitment to law and order is nonetheless admirable. Thank you, Governor.
