never reached out during past hurricanes suddenly reach out over this
one? obviously just for the publicity for her campaign
DeSantis pushes back on ‘delusional’ Harris remark about Hurricane
Milton calls
BY SARAH FORTINSKY - 10/08/24 9:05 AM ET
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.
Harris had been asked earlier Monday about reporting that DeSantis was
not taking her calls on hurricanes and providing resources.
“People are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political
games at this moment, in these crisis situations — these are the height of
emergency situations — it’s utterly irreconcilable, and it is selfish, and it is
about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an
oath to do, which is to put the people first,” Harris told reporters in a clip
Fox anchor Sean Hannity played in his Monday night broadcast.
DeSantis responded to the clip by accusing Harris of politicizing the
storm, noting he has managed several storms during his time as governor
and spoke highly of his working relationship with both Biden and former
President Trump.
“I will say this: I’ve had storms under both President Trump and President
Biden, and I’ve worked well with both of them. She’s the first one who’s
trying to politicize the storm, and she’s doing that just because of her
campaign. She’s trying to get some type of an edge. She knows she’s
doing poorly until she’s playing these political games,” he said.
“I don’t have time for political games. I’ve got peoples whose lives are on
the line. I’ve got peoples whose homes and their possessions are on the
line, and we are focused 100 percent on that mission. I’m not worried
about playing her political games. And so she is being selfish by trying to
blunder into this, when we’re working just fine,” he continued.
The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for a response.
Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday evening in
Tampa, Fla., which has not been directly hit by a hurricane in more than a
century. Evacuation orders are underway for much of the area, and
officials are urging the public not to delay in heeding their officials’
advice.

if the governor won't talk to the administration, he's screwing his constituents.
"The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. §§ 5121-5207 (the Stafford Act) §401 states in part that: "All requests
for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by
the Governor of the affected State." A State also includes the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Republic of Marshall
Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia are also eligible to request a
declaration and receive assistance through the Compacts of Free Association."

Exactly.
Putting cheap political stunts ahead of the actual
wellbeing of those he was elected to serve.
