I am so proud of Florida’s Governor, looking out for the best interest of all Florida citizens.
Like this new national headline “Gov. Ron DeSantis Refused To Answer Hurricane Relief Calls From The White House.”
Yes, Desantis is a true Republican pig.
What a moron. Gov DeSantis and President Biden have spoken today and everything is handled so far. So the comment posted is a lie.
Rick: that face diaper 😷moron got Trump Desantis Derangement Syndrome (TDDS) bad.. a few more C19 shots 💉should cure him, and, according to Kamala’s great reset plan, he’ll be giving off less CO2 which will help stop climate change & hurricanes 🌀 ‼️
Check NBC News and other outlets. He didn’t answer calls from VP Harris

Such a helpful comment at this time.
The village dummy speaks. Biden and DeSantis have spoken.
Still looking at piles and piles of debris from Helene lining all of my neighborhood streets, SW side of G’ville.
What can be expected from a liberal dominated town?
What ever is touched or thought of is generally becomes a cluster f..k

“Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is reportedly refusing calls about storm recovery from Kamala Harris, more than a week after Hurricane Helene hit the state and two days before intensifying Hurricane Milton is expected to hit the south-west of the state.”
Y’all remember Governor’s go-go boots and pouty truculent behavior during last Presidential disaster visit? So glad he’ll be gone from office soon. Opportunistic Bullies aren’t good leaders.
Another dummy speaks. DeSantis has spoken to biden several times along with the head of Fema. DeSantis says he has received no calls from harris. DeSantis has worked 24/7 for 2 weeks on this. Fema reports to biden not Harris. Harris is not in the disaster chain of command. She is to busy talking to the idiots on the View.
You have your information wrong. Read the news–if you can read. De Santis has been communication with Biden. Coordination is in place. Harris is just looking for a photo op to make her look competent (which is impossible).
Yeah, DeSantis said he didn’t have time for political games, and you know he meant it as he said that on Sean Hannity’s TV show.
When the Gov of Florida calls, you answer or call back. When the US VP calls, you answer or call back.
End of that story.
