TN governor did this too. Refused Biden’s efforts to stage relief crews prior to the storm, then the night the storm hits he calls the White House to ask for aid. These petulant children shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near government leadership positions

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

Inb4 DeSantis claims the Government is ignoring Florida when it comes to hurricanes

Coward

He’s such a petty little bitch. Put your heels on and just take the call, Ronnie.

DeSantis was allowing Helene to flatten his state. What a weak man.

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.

You would think any man that short would want all the help he can get when the water starts rising.

Party before country, right?

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.

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.

Imagine endangering the lives of your constituents because politics.

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

I knew this was gonna happen. I honestly wondered a few hours ago “I wonder how many times the WH has tried to call Desantis and he just didn’t take the call to be petty.”

If he’s got legit governor stuff to do when there’s a Cat 5 on the way, I get it. I live on the coast. But I knew he would pull a stunt like this just to be a dick.

Remember, federal government disaster aid is Socialism.

What a little piss baby loser

Run down the chain then. Local county officials have a lot less to lose by working with the federal government to save their constituents.

Seriously… they act like schools children.

No one's bringing politics into this except for Governor MoRon DiSaster.

What a petty little man-child.

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.

Her win

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.

What a fucking piss baby. I have friends directly in the path of eye of hurricane Milton. I hope Gov. DeathSentence doesn't get them killed in the name of neo fascist virtue signaling.
