Governor Chris Christie’s presidential campaign today released its second television ad aimed at New Hampshire voters. Against a backdrop of Iran images and a beaten looking President Barack Obama, Christie in the ad says Obama lied about the Iran nuclear deal and by contrast plays up what he says are his national security credentials.

Watch the ad here.

Transcript:

This was negotiated so badly that you wouldn’t let this President buy a car for you at a car dealership. 

Now, he’s lying to the American people about how the deal’s going to work.

That’s what Ronald Reagan did when he walked away from Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik.

I’m Chris Christie and I approve this message. Christie in New Ad: Obama ‘Lying to the American People’
