Hurricane Ian: Politico falsely claims DeSantis ‘still hasn’t faced’ Florida’s ‘toughest’ challenge

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.

But he still hasn’t faced one of the toughest challenges a Florida leader can encounter: a hurricane."

I am sure it is DeSantis fault.
H is so evil, he can even turn the weather to destruction.

Does Politico still pay for their employee’s to go to Thailand for preteen sex tourism stays?

No one remembers Hurricane Michael.

Of course not! Michael struck an area that is mostly white, conservative, and republican.

Maybe they should have ran this story past their own fact checkers first.

That’s right. No one but us rednecks in the Panhandle. There are still plenty of driveways that don’t lead to homes.

I’m convinced that absent the cold front that went through last night, Ian would have, in a repeat of hurricane Michael, slammed the north Gulf coast.

Yes. I told my wife if it wasn’t chilly this morning we should pack a bag.
