Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tokorua o nga kaiwhakaatu i haere mai i New Jersey ki Des Moines, Iowa ki te whakahe ki te kawana o to ratou kawanatanga, a Chris Christie, i maka atu i te Huihuinga Ag o Iowa i te Rahoroi i muri i to ratou karanga kaore a Christie i kaha ki te awhina i nga patunga o Hurricane Sandy. I whakatūpato ngā kaiwhakawā o te Huihuinga Ag o Iowa i te Rāhoroi ki ngā mema o te hunga whakarongo ka whakahaeretia rātau ki waho mēnā ka puta he take. I hohoro te pirihimana ki te maka atu i te tokorua, tae atu ki a Lisa Stevens, ko tana tohu i kii 'he mano nga whanau' kei te whakarere tonu i o raatau kaainga. Ko Joe Mangino, he tangata e tu tahi ana me ia, ka hamama, 'KĀORE ahau e noho puku!' I korero a Christie ki tetahi kaitautoko i te Oketopa i Belmar, New Jersey i te hui o te whare taone mo te hanganga i muri i te awhiowhio kia mahia tena. 'Kei te whai mai taku iwi ki nga wahi katoa,' i kii a Christie ki te kaiwhakahaere o te huihuinga a Bruce Rastetter i te wa e haere ana nga kaiwhakaari ki te putanga me nga rau e hamama ana. I mea a ia, 'He ātaahua ahau, e Bruce.' 'E kore e taea e rātau te noho tawhiti atu i ahau.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakakahoretia e Chris Christie ngā kaiwhakakā i te Rāhoroi i Des Moines, Iowa, i haere mai i ngā maero 1,000 ki te amuamu mō ngā whānau e noho noho ana i te kāinga neke atu i te rua tau i muri i te Hurricane Sandy. Ka mau a Lisa Stevens i tētahi tohu e kī ana 'Kōwana Christie: He mano ngā whānau kāore anō kia hoki ki te kāinga i muri i a Sandy' i mua i te hohoro o te whakawātea i a ia rāua ko Joe Mangino ki waho. 'Kei te whakaaro ahau ka mārama koe ka mahi ahau ki a koe i te ara ano i konei rite mahi ahau ki a koutou i roto i New Jersey,' ka mea ia ki te demonstrators. I a rāua e wehe ana i te whare whakarongo, ka mea a Christie, 'he whenua whakamiharo rawa tenei e taea ai e te iwi te mahi i tērā.' I tuhituhi a Stevens, 'Kōwana Christie: E hia mano ngā whānau kāore anō kia hoki ki te kāinga i muri i a Sandy.' Ko te Hurricane Sandy he tupuhi hitori i te tau 2012 i whakangaromia ai te takutai o Amerika i waenganui o te Moana-a-Kiwa, i mate ai te 12 i New Jersey me te nui atu i te $ 20 piriona te kino o te katoa. I kī a Mangino i waho, nā ngā pānga o Sandy i akiaki ia ki te whakarere i tōna kāinga, ā, e toru ngā wā i neke ai ia me tōna whānau mai i taua wā. Tekau mano i roto i te Garden State i noho kore kāinga i te 80 maero-i-te-wā hau...
Ka whai mai aku tangata i ahau ki nga wahi katoa... He ātaahua ahau,' te kī a te kāwana o NJ. I tīmata a Christie i tētahi hui ahuwhenua o te rā katoa i hangaia hei whakamātautau i te kaha o ngā kaitono peresideniraa ki te kai, te ahuwhenua me te pūngao. I whiua e ia te Whare Pōtae mō te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki Cuba mai i te wā i whai wāhi ai ki reira tētahi kaipāho o Amerika i whakamate i tētahi pirihimana o New Jersey. I whakahe a Obama i a ia anō mō te tipu ōhanga 2% e kiia ana ko te 'whakahokinga kino rawa atu i roto i te hītori o nāianei [me] te peresideni ka eke ki te wikitoria'
