Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for asking for federal aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia after he voted against a relief package for Hurricane Sandy in 2013 while serving as a member of Congress.
Christie also criticized DeSantis for not meeting with President Joe Biden when the commander in chief visited the Sunshine State in the aftermath of the hurricane last week.“Look, we shouldn’t be playing politics with this stuff, but Gov. DeSantis has always played politics with this,” Christie said on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Tuesday.
Christie also defended his actions in the aftermath of Sandy, including embracing then-President Barack Obama's arrival in New Jersey days before the 2012 election. In an interview with the Florida Times-Union in 2013, DeSantis criticized the bill for only allocating 30% of its funds for the first two years and appropriating funds as far down the line as 2021.
