On Friday night’s broadcast of “Hannity,” former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spoke out against President Barack Obama’s recent appearance in New Jersey with Republican Gov. Chris Christie in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

According to Palin, Obama used the trip to the storm-torn state as a phony show of bipartisanship.

“Well, it is quite a shame that, you know, Obama got what he wanted out of that, and that was the photo ops with a Republican governor so that he and the mainstream media could kind of fake that bipartisanship that in no way, shape or form does President Obama represent. He is the most partisan president I think that we have ever had. So he got his photo ops out of that, unfortunately, because then he got to jet off and you know, here he goes again — party in Vegas with Jay-Z.”

Palin also took a jab at the media for allowing the president to get away with making the stop a “political statement.”

“And [it’s] quite unfortunate because, as you say, Sean, people are truly suffering, and this isn’t a time for politics,” she continued. “And I think that it’s quite a shame.”
