When I asked the governor about his disagreement with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) over the renewal of the Patriot Act, Christie accused Paul of getting particularly sensitive over the issue.

Paul said Christie's recent comment wasn't very nice.

The back-and-forth prompted Christie to remind Paul that if he thinks it's not nice to disagree, he's probably in the wrong race.
