Dear Editor:
It’s so sad, no statement or even one word from our New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was mentioned about the murders of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian by ISIS in Libya.
New Jersey is the home of the largest Egyptian population in USA. Very strong statements were issued by the UN, The white house, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop.
As an American citizen and voter, two of the issues that really concern me and many Americans voters are International Relations and Foreign Policy.
I would like to know why a potential white house candidate remained silent about such an international heinous act, especially when it affects many citizens in his home state.
Gov. Chris Christie’s unsuccessful international trip to 10 Downing Street and his silence against an international terrorist group act by ISIS showed a lack of leadership.
I would like to question his ability to lead our nation as a future American president.
Shame on you Governor Christie!
Sincerely,
Nabil Youssef
Former City Council Candidate
