Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) slammed President Joe Biden during a press conference Tuesday as the state prepares to be hit by a category 3 hurricane.
The remarks from DeSantis come after Biden held separate calls earlier in the day with Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg, and Mayor Frank Hibbard of Clearwater. An official White House readout of the calls made no mention of the president speaking with DeSantis.
A reporter asked the governor how he would characterize his conversations with Biden as the hurricane prepares to make landfall.
“So I have not personally spoken with the president, but FEMA has approved our pre-landfall request,” DeSantis said.
“We feel like we have a good relationship with FEMA,” he continued. “You know, I’m happy to brief the president if he’s interested in hearing what we’re doing in Florida, you know, my view on all this is like you got people’s lives at stake, you got their property at stake, and we don’t have time for pettiness. We got to work together to make sure we’re doing the best job for them.”
“So, my phone — my phone line is open,” DeSantis concluded. “But we are — we do appreciate the quick approval of the pre-landfall declaration.”
The remarks from DeSantis come as the hurricane is strengthening while in the Gulf of Mexico and could make landfall as a category 4 hurricane.
The National Hurricane Center has warned that Ian is “an extremely dangerous major hurricane.”

In about a week you watch, BS polls will come out showing the FL Governor race is tightening and they will run with a narrative of his “mis-handling” of Hurricane Ian.
The Commie ‘RATS politicize everything. They don’t give a crap about Florida and American lives.
The negative stories about how Governor DeSantis mishandled the storm have already been written.
Petiness?
Joey sockpuppet can’t think.
I seem recall Democrats refusing disaster aid before a storm to make Republicans look bad.
That press person would make goebels proud.
Dutifully FAXed from the White House Situation Room to the various lamestream media
Consider yourself lucky not having to deal with President Retard he’s good for nothing
Biden doesn’t care.
It’s been pointed out that any conversation with DeSantis would get into the public domain, and Biden would be revealed as the utter incompetent that he is.
Hence his handlers had to keep him off the phone.
If every Floridian came thorough essentially unscathed, which is not going to happen, that narrative will be issued as sure as the sun rises.
my words exactly
biden looks very petty at a time when lives are at stake
i believe he called FL mayors and deliberately excluded calling DeSantis
Don’t have time for pettiness.
Biden: Then you don’t have time for me.
I wouldn’t even take his call
I don’t talk to pedophiles
It’s just as well. FJ-Biteme can only get in the way and ef-it up.
I’m in the eyewall now, leaning on my French doors to prevent them from being blown in.
My maple tree is now about twenty feet tall and has lost most of its leaves.
The democrats have no use for human life.
They treat others simply as tools to be discarded once their usefulness is over.
They simply do not care about the quality or value of human life beyond whatever purpose they can use it for.
