Christie also used his time to compare Obamacare’s rules governing Medicaid amounted to “extortion,” and said he was glad that that provision was struck down by the Supreme Court. “I was glad that the Supreme Court ruled that extortion is still illegal in America,” he said. “And that’s a relief because Obamacare on Medicaid to the states was extortion. It essentially said, you expand your program to where we tell you, and if you don’t, we’re taking all the rest of your money away. Well that’s extortion. It was in a whole bunch of nice words in the …
