Chris Christie launched a severe criticism of Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, because at the time he refused to support another state in disgrace and despite this, he has now requested federal aid to deal with the damage caused by Hurricane Idalia a few days ago in the north of his state.
During an interview with the CNN television network, The candidate for the Republican candidacy facing the presidential elections next year, recalled how 11 years ago, when DeSantis was a member of the House of Representatives, he voted against providing resources to New Jersey, this knowing that part of said state had suffered the ravages of another hurricane called Sandy.
“We shouldn’t be playing politics with these things, but Governor DeSantis always has. He voted against Sandy’s help in 2012 as a House member and now wants help. You know, this is the hypocrisy that everyone sees in politics and the reason why they look for someone to tell them the truth,” Christie said.
maybe what The New Jersey politician omitted to recall was that he also chose to avoid meeting with Barak Obama, then president of the nation, when the Democrat visited the affected area to offer support for reconstruction.
The truth is that, despite the effects registered in Florida, in the eyes of the news media DeSantis tries to appear to be a self-sufficient politician, but realizing that he is not, he then turns to the federal administration for helpbut in a silent way making political calculations so that his campaign in search of the Republican candidacy is not harmed.
Nevertheless, polls that measure the intention of the Republican vote place him well behind Donald Trump with a tendency to worsen for the cause of the 44-year-old politician.
It should be noted that due to the arrival of Hurricane Idalia and its damage, Ron DeSantis was forced to pause his political campaign in order to deal with the aftermath of the weather phenomenon.
