    It’s awesome he’s still fucking over his own citizens even after torpedoing his White House ambitions.

  2. RW voters in FL are no different than the rest of the country. They love someone who exploits them and relies on their stupidity & ignorance to stay in power. Ronny D learned well from Trump.

    Likely alt-right media headline: “Harris refuses to speak to Gov. DeSantis ahead of Hurricane Milton”

    Maybe Samaritans purse can help them? Oh well, killing most of your voters is an odd campaign strategy. 

  5. Why should DeSantis prepare for the next desaster? It is always more convenient to blame the Dems for withholding preemptive aid.

  6. Dems had presser today and said they’ve reached out several times and little go-go boots Ronnie DeSatan refuses to talk with them. These maga are now downright scary. It really makes you want to abandon this country and leave it to the maga rural low iq and billionaires.

  7. As a native Floridian, fuck this corrupt douchebag. When the insurance rates continue to skyrocket, please remember it’s a gift from the GOP.

  8. DeSantis refused the call, but he accepted FEMA help. Oh, yeah, where’s his Florida home guard in all this?

  9. DeSantis already has a plan. Make saying the word “hurricane” illegal. Boom, no more hurricanes.

  10. He wants people to die so he can pretend it’s Harris’ fault. These people are venal reprobates.

  11. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-gov-ron-desantis-refuses-call-vp-kamala/story?id=114570089) reduced by 81%. (I’m a bot)

    > Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has refused to take a call with Vice President Kamala Harris about Hurricane Milton, a source close to the governor told ABC News.

    > DeSantis staffers also said the governor has not spoken to President Joe Biden in at least the last few days in the wake of Hurricane Helene and as the massive Hurricane Milton takes aim at Florida.

    > Hurricane Milton strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane on Monday, and Florida officials are urging residents to evacuate while they still can.

    And if she didn’t call, Meatball Ron would be bitching about the lack of a call. Hypocrite

    As long as the Harris campaign publicizes their bipartisan outreach to support the citizens of Florida so Ronnie has to make a choice beyond his petty power plays. A lot of people remember when Chris Christie worked with Obama which repubs rebuked but the people benefited.

    In 4 days he will be begging and complaining they never answered. Hope this bas*** dies in storm

    It’s red state. Biden take a page out of republican playbook and don’t release any funds

  16. Tbf Dems can just tell the hurricane to turn around according to MTG so what’s the point of a call

  17. Remember when decorum and class were a priority for bi-partisan issues like natural disasters?

  18. Which is it? He need to make up his mind.

    >The DeSantis team claim the vice president’s outreach is politically motivated, according to the source.

    >DeSantis later said he was unaware that the vice president had reached out.

    >”No, I didn’t know she called me. I saw [the report], but I was not aware of that,” DeSantis said.

    >The governor also said he had not spoken to Biden but noted he was “thankful” that Biden “has approved what we asked for.”

    I work with the public and unfortunately have no trouble believing approximately one third of the country will cut off their nose to spite their face. Sad but believable.

  20. Just in time for election season, another example of republicans screwing over their constituents. They won’t take calls from the presidents team. They won’t reconvene the House for hurricane relief, w/ Milton getting ready to crash down on the Gulf Coast (all red states).

    He has had quite the 4ish years. Hailed early on in Covid due to his strongman mentality and pushing back on lockdowns. FL has been a big beneficiary of post lockdown trends as they have seen massive net migration and lots of businesses move there. Then he had a failed presidential run and he has been going downhill since. Florida has lots of issues around homeowners, auto, and flood insurance. Cost of living crisis, etc. Now refusing to coordinate with the federal government… nice

  22. Florida is being hit with 2 hurricanes right? Helene and the one incoming? Seems like an act of god for republicans worshipping Trump

  23. He’s such a piece of shit.

    I was down South during a hurricane a couple months ago and it’s was eye-opening how inadequate their politicians are during emergencies. In blue states the politicians, at the risk to their reputations, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Yet down South they stick their heads in the sand until it’s too late and then blame Biden for everything.
