As Chris Christie hides in FL, Debbie Wasserman Schultz trashes him in two major media markets

"Republicans kept Chris Christie under wraps"

The Hide-the-Christie strategy is apparently working. Try as they might, few if any photographs of Chris Christie and Rick Scott emerged from this weekend of Florida fundraising crapulence.

As Chris Christie hides in FL, Debbie Wasserman Schultz trashes him in two major media markets
.............

Saturday was another public-relations loser for Christie, a 2016 GOP White House hopeful, who hid from the press when he flew into Florida for a series of closed-press hush-hush fundraisers for Florida Gov. Rick Scott, one of whose own donors called the secrecy "stupid.”

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz happily filled the void, holding two press conferences in Orlando and then in her congressional district in Dania Beach where she addressed at least seven broadcast TV cameras and even more reporters.

“It’s a little bizarre that Rick Scott would bring the chair of the Republican Governors Association -- something that arguably he should be proud of in a normal situation -- and not brag about it, not show him off, not spend some time in front of the cameras, take some photo-ops and take some questions,” she said.

“Well there’s a reason for that,” she continued. And it’s probably both that RS doesn’t want to be seen standing next to Chris Christie. And Chris Christie doesn’t want to be answering any uncomfortable questions.”
