TRENTON — Governor Christie is continuing his war of words with leaders of the state's largest teacher's union.

In an interview scheduled to air Wednesday night, the governor told ABC's "World News" host Diane Sawyer that the state's teachers are "wonderful public servants that care deeply."

But he described New Jersey Education Association officials as a "group of political thugs."
