There are multiple reports that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis refused a call from Vice President Harris about Hurricane Milton. As the category five Hurricane Milton heads toward the west Florida coast, ABC News reported that DeSantis was playing politics.
During the October 7 White House press conference, Karine Jean-Pierre responded to a reporter about DeSantis not answering the Vice President’s call. ABC News reported Jean-Pierre’s answer:
“If you have the president and you have the vice president reaching out to offer up assistance provided to your constituents, the people who live in your state, to make sure we are doing everything that we need to do from federal response — and we’re reaching out, offering our support, that’s where … it is up to [DeSantis] if he wants to respond to us or not.”
The news outlet noted that even with the lack of response from the MAGA Florida governor, Jean-Pierre said the Biden Harris administration is “still working with state and local officials to make sure that teams are pre-positioned ahead of Milton’s landfall.”
Great way to “own the libs” Governor DeSantis.
