DeSantis pushes back on ‘delusional’ Harris remark about Hurricane Milton calls
The Hill ^ | 10/08/2024 | Sarah Fortinsky

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Monday that it was “delusional” for Vice President Harris to accuse him of “political gamesmanship” after reports emerged that he did not take the Democratic presidential nominee’s calls as his state braces for Hurricane Milton.

DeSantis said in a Fox News interview Monday evening that he is “leveraging all resources available, including from the federal government” to prepare for Hurricane Milton’s expected landfall Wednesday evening, adding that he has been in touch with both President Biden and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials in preparation.

“And so for Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish, is delusional,” DeSantis said.

“She has no role in this. In fact, she’s been vice president for three and a half years. I’ve dealt with a number of storms under this administration. She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts, and so what I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this,” he continued.

Oh, I hear tell she’s a ‘pro’. No first hand knowledge. And, I don’t want any. 😳

“Harris taking a page from Obama’s playbook on Hurricane Sandy, trying to make herself relevant and look presidential during a crisis.”

Exactly.

You just know that she had a campaign photographer standing near here, just waiting for DeSantis to pick up the phone. Then she can look Presidential, concerned, determined and able to lead in an emergency.

Other Freepers have posted it - but it is worth repeating. She’s really not in the chain of authority here. DeSantis should be speaking solely with Biden, NOAA, Homeland Security and FEMA.

Governor Desantis doesn’t have time for her bullshit.....she’s not even in the chain of command when it comes to federal emergency support so why should he bother .....they’re in a snit because he won’t give her a campaign photo op......which is what this is REALLY about.

Harris wants to “help”? DeSantis should tell her he sees how she helped in North Carolina and he does not want any of that BS.

The MSM is still running with the “DeSantis is refusing to talk to Harris” line.

VERY surprised to see this reporting from The Hill. I would’ve expected something that cast Governor Desantis as a maniacal dictator, and Ms. Harris as a self-sacrificing saint.

How to "help":<
Stand on the beach when the hurricane hits
Call in when you finally land
The weather service can use that as a data point to estimate wind speed.

She keeps wanting to have it both ways...

Either SHE is in charge, SHE is the Prez. And therefore OWNS all of Biden / Harris baggage.

OR, she is a fresh face offering “a new way forward, etc, etc”

Can’t be both.

Perfect analogy
Harris wants to parachute in to a situation where she has never been in the chain of command before.
