Governor Ron DeSantis was about as prepared as a governor could get a state for Hurricane Ian.
This is a storm like we have never seen, and it was tracking to hit areas of Florida that have either never seen this type of storm or had not seen one in decades.
When a reporter challenged him on his preparation, I thought he would go into the gallery and take care of business.
Stop It!
A reporter went right for the throat, stating, “FEMA Administrator [Deanne] Criswell said today that she acknowledged concerns that … Florida, as was said, lacks response to the storm so far and that —”
That is when DeSantis jumped right in.
He stated, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Give me a break! That is nonsense! Stop politicizing, okay? Stop it.
“We declared a state of emergency when this thing wasn’t even formed. We’ve had people in here, you’ve had counties doing … a lot of hard work, and honestly, you’re trying to attack me, I get, but like you’re attacking these other people who’ve worked very hard.
“And so that’s just totally false. I don’t think we’ve ever, certainly since I’ve been governor, declared a state of emergency this early.
“We made sure that we were very inclusive with it.
“We said that there was a lot of uncertainty, and then we’ve worked to make sure the preparations that have been done … you talk to the people at the counties, when they’ve needed something, stuff gets there very quickly …”
The media can't help themselves – everything must be politicized. No opportunity to smear opponents is too low. This reporter misrepresented FEMA Director's words@RonDeSantisFL won't accept it.

DeSantis started prepping for this storm long before it became a danger to the state of Florida.
He was ridiculously proactive, yet the media still comes after him to try to make him look bad.
Once again, the media has proven to be nothing more than an arm of the Democrat Party.
