Christie: DeSantis Started Slavery Debate for ‘Political Advantage’

EXCERPT:

CHRISTIE: "Well, I think two things, Margaret. First of all, 'I didn't do it and I'm not involved in it' are not the words of leadership. You know, look, Governor DeSantis started this fire with the bill that he signed, and now he doesn't want to take responsibility for whatever is done in the aftermath of it. And from listening and watching his comments, he's obviously uncomfortable. The second part of this is, this is why -- one of the reasons I'm running, Margaret. You know, we're arguing about these issues, these smaller issues, when we have got big issues in our country like runaway inflation that continues to hurt families, like an educational system. Instead of worrying about this, let's talk about the falling test scores throughout this country that are making us less competitive with the rest of the world. You know, we have enormous issues to deal with in this country and around the world, and we're spending time — and I don't blame you for asking, but we're spending time on this as the first question to a presidential candidate on a Sunday morning. You know, the fact is that Governor DeSantis starts these things for political advantage. He tries to take political advantage of them, and then he says, 'I don't know. I didn't do it. I wasn't involved.' I mean, that's — that's not leadership, Margaret."
