Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not taking calls from Vice President Kamala Harris about storm recovery just over a week after Hurricane Helene hammered parts of his state.
A source familiar with the situation said he was dodging the Democratic presidential nominee’s calls because they “seemed political,” according to a DeSantis aide.
“Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” the DeSantis aide told NBC News.
The same person said “not to my knowledge” when asked if DeSantis had spoken to President Joe Biden.
Two other officials with DeSantis’ office said that so far, there has been no effort by Biden to reach out to the governor on Hurricane Milton.
This is such a bullshit thing to say. If the sadistic antihuman monster known as DeSantis didn’t accept contact from them regarding Helene, why would he expect them to immediately reach out to him on Milton? Current administration’s efforts would be better spent coordinating with someone who is actually interested in the well-being of Floridians.
No fucking duh it’s political, she is an a political post, you are in a political post. Not all politics is bad, some of it is about finding a way to get the government to actually help people in need
get the government to actually help people in need
This is the part conservatives cannot do.
If you want to save some money, just remind them that vulnerable groups have also been impacted. They will refuse all help just to make sure the out-groups continue to suffer.
He’s such a petty little bitch. Put your heels on and just take the call, Ronnie.
Inb4 DeSantis claims the Government is ignoring Florida when it comes to hurricanes
Party before country, right?
This is where the democrats fail to gain favor amongst conservative voters. They should be playing ads throughout the state showing they have attempted to provide assistance and have been prevented from doing so by the little bitch they call governor, give them a way to bypass their bullshit of a local government and go directly to the federal government for support.
Most conservatives have been conditioned to believe everything they hear from News and/or “libs” is fake…
This would actually just make things worse.
Actually only their candidate is. “They” are not
If Biden’s team bypasses DeSantis entirely and coordinates directly with the impacted counties and communities, that would make DeSantis look 100% useless on the national stage.
I truly hope that’s what they’re doing.
Tampa’s mayor should get in contact directly. This is going to be very bad, and they are going to need all the help they can get.
You would think any man that short would want all the help he can get when the water starts rising.
I’ll say this, if trump had won I don’t know a democratic governor who would consider not taking a call from pence after a national disaster. Every governor pulling this needs recalled
Run down the chain then. Local county officials have a lot less to lose by working with the federal government to save their constituents.
What a petty little man-child.
He cant take the call, he’s too busy modeling his white stripper boots infront of the mirror and thinking about how damn sexy and amazing he is, and how the damn voters should have picked him over trump.
Her win
What a clear example of these politicians not giving a rat’s ass about their citizens. Even if it was just a chance for her to have a political talking point, ISN’T THAT BETTER THAN HAVING YOUR CITIZENS SUFFER???
They would rather people’s lives get ruined than give Biden/Harris a possible win. I’m sure as people’s homes are getting swept away they’ll be comforted by the fact that Harris didn’t get one over on DeSantis.
