Hurricane Ian: Politico falsely claims DeSantis ‘still hasn’t faced’ Florida’s ‘toughest’ challenge
Fox news ^ | September 27, 2022 | Alexander Hall

Posted on 09/27/2022 6:11:29 PM PDT by McGruff

As Hurricane Ian storms along the Gulf coast, Twitter users scorched Politico for a Tuesday tweet falsely claiming Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., has never faced the tough challenge of a hurricane hitting his state.

DeSantis took office in Jan. 2019 and Hurricane Sally struck the Florida panhandle in Sept. 2020, hitting the city of Pensacola particularly hard.

Politico tweeted a link to an article titled "DeSantis faces the true test of any Florida governor," with the accompanying text, "Gov. Ron DeSantis spent his first term becoming one of the most influential Republicans in the country. But he still hasn’t faced one of the toughest challenges a Florida leader can encounter: a hurricane."

Maybe DeSantis can evacuate illegals to Martha’s Vineyard.

I am sure this will be one of the first of many political hits on DeSantis. By the way DeSantis is still waiting for Joe Biden’s phone call.

DeSantis isn’t waiting for anything from Joe.

This could easily surpass 2017’s Hurricane Maria as the 2nd most politicized storm in the US. Whatever happens, it will not be blamed on Biden.

That’s because Trump was driving FEMA. Remember Katrina? Expect the same bungled federal response. The media/government alliance of liars will pummel DiSantis worse than Bush. The difference is DiSantis won’t curl up in a fetal position to receive the kickings. DiSantis will be applying the kicking.

He got it. Biden called immediately after DeSantis called him out. DeSantis is a leader.

There’s no way the media will get away with what they got away with in Texas. Sure DeSantis is relatively new and dealing with hurricanes, but the people who are in charge of departments and various other agencies have been doing these for decades. They know what they’re doing in Florida. I’m not seeing the media won’t try but they’ll fail.

If you can’t say anything nice about an effective, popular, competent and intelligent leader, mr. Media propagandist, STFU!

Yes. I can’t see this surpassing Katrina. At least I pray it doesn’t.

If not DeSantis, then who? That freak Gillum? DeSantis will get the job done as he did for COVID. Floridians have the right governor. Politico is a joke.

The libs have already written next week’s description of how DeSantis messed things up. Guaranteed.
And, hopefully, one day we’ll see the libs suffer.
And I really hope for real suffering.
We’ll see.

Oh, it will be a full court press of lies about DiSantis. There is no governor in America remotely as capable as DiSantis is in taking care of this. The Biden Regime will purposely slow walk FEMA in an attempt to damage him. Here’s the all time Florida nightmare, Biden and Gillum in charge of cleaning this up.

He got in a couple months after the cat 5 named Michael laid waste to a few counties and I mean laid waste. He did awesome. Very awesome. Still is to this day and anyone saying otherwise is a liar.
