President Joe Biden traveled to Florida on Saturday to survey the destruction from Hurricane Idalia and comfort victims of the storm, but he did not meet Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential presidential rival, who opted not to come.
Biden, who praised DeSantis during the visit, said he was not disappointed by the governor’s absence and said DeSantis had helped plan the trip.
DeSantis’ spokesperson said on Friday the governor had no plans to meet Biden, saying “the security preparations alone that would go in to setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts.”
Desantis is a little bitch. Imagine a governor refusing to meet the president.
Between Trump avoiding the debate and DeSantis avoiding even been seen with Biden after a disaster, the Republicans are really nailing the point home that they are absolute wusses. Political cowards.
He saw what happened to Christie when Obama showed up after Sandy.
Yeah, Republicans turned on Christie for acting like a normal human being instead of a political hack.
So DeSantis, in his pathetic and desperate quest for political power, would much rather run away from anything that has even the slightest possibility of making him look as inferior as he actually is. In other words, he’s a cowardly political hack who spends every waking minute of his time calculating his next move in terms of optics, and not in terms of what is right, or true, or good for the people of his state, etc.
Republicans have always been snowflakes
Especially when he needs fed money to fix his armpit of a state.
I said it elsewhere. It’s the laser eyes, DeSantis is scared.
He’s not a people person. Never has been: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvZTczYzk5OGUtNmU2MC00MzJmLTg2MTAtYWUyMTAxNDBjNWIxL2U1ZjkxMjA4LWNjN2UtNDcyNi1hMzEyLWFlMjgwMTQwYWQxMS9kNjRmNzU2ZC02ZDVlLTRmYWUtYjI0Zi1hZTI4MDE0MGFkMzYvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M/episode/NjZiZDZhMzktZTg1MS00ODY2LThjZTMtYjA2NjAwMzQyY2M5?ep=14
