joining me now is republican strait jig michael singleton and maria cardona and marie barone lopez.this, this is the time to put politics aside, chris christie having a particular moment, but when you talk about a storm like this desantis this appears to be a political move. >> it appears to be that way because just a year ago last october when hurricane ian struck, when president biden arrived held a press conference beside hymn, said they don't agree all the time but they would put that aside and work together and chris christie is another example where he even pushed back republican criticism in 2012 and 2013, said president obama worked with me well and they are playing politics. >> hurricane ian, the image coming out of that with president biden being chmy and desantis being out there himself, that was not a great image for desantis. it makes me wonder, there it is, it is a medium now, makes me wonder if they are trying to avoid a second run of that. >> i'm sure they are but i think what it does is it focuses on how feety and how juvenile i think this makes desantis look especi
