Ron DeSantis Rejects Kamala’s “Aid,” Accuses Her of Using Hurricane for Politics

Kamala Harris is getting desperate. Really desperate. Her floundering presidential campaign is on life support, and she’s pulling every trick in the book to stay relevant. From empty speeches to forced photo ops, her attempts to prop up her image are starting to look a little sad.

She’s scrambling to find some foothold in a political landscape that’s leaving her behind. But here’s the kicker: these moves aren’t about helping Americans—they’re about saving Kamala’s own political skin.

She’s throwing Hail Marys, hoping something sticks. Her decisions right now aren’t about policy or even people but about optics. From hopping on Air Force Two to giving soundbites for sympathetic media, it’s all part of the grand plan to paint herself as the savior in a crisis.

But make no mistake, she’s not interested in what’s best for the country. She’s interested in what’s best for Kamala 2024. And the latest fiasco surrounding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just proves it.

The Post Millennial:
As Florida prepares for another storm barrage, this time from from Hurricane Milton, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has turned down a call from Vice President Kamala Harris, saying it’s only “political,” according to a report from ABC News citing a source “close” to the governor.

The source said that DeSantis and his office believe the call is grounded in politics— not concern for the citizens of Florida and that he has no time for that. DeSantis staffers say the governor has avoided speaking with President Joe Biden for a number of days after the lame duck chief executive showed such a tardy response to Hurricane Helene.

DeSantis Dodges Harris’ Political Play

As Florida braces for yet another hurricane—this time the ferocious Hurricane Milton—Governor Ron DeSantis has made it clear that he won’t be playing political games. According to a report from ABC News, DeSantis recently declined a call from Vice President Kamala Harris. Why?

Because it’s political, and he doesn’t have time for that. A source close to the governor said the call was nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to make Harris look like she cares about Florida’s wellbeing. DeSantis sees right through it, and frankly, who can blame him?

The governor’s office has been busy handling the fallout from Hurricane Helene, which left destruction in its wake. They’re laser-focused on ensuring Floridians are safe as Hurricane Milton, now a terrifying Category 5 storm, approaches.

Harris’ call? It’s just a distraction, a chance for her to grandstand. DeSantis knows this, and he isn’t biting.

Biden Administration’s Hollow Concern

This isn’t the first time DeSantis has distanced himself from the Biden-Harris administration. DeSantis and President Joe Biden haven’t spoken in days, and who can forget Biden’s sluggish response to Hurricane Helene? It’s a pattern. The White House is quick to offer “support” when the cameras are rolling, but when it comes to real action, they’re nowhere to be found.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre even took a jab at DeSantis, suggesting it’s on him to decide whether to accept their oh-so-generous help. It’s as if they’re saying, “We’re here for the photo op, but only if you play along.”

DeSantis later shrugged off the entire situation, claiming he didn’t even know Harris had called him. Whether that’s true or not, one thing’s for sure: he’s not losing sleep over it. He’s got bigger things to worry about, like coordinating relief efforts and ensuring the people of Florida are safe.

Harris’ Outrage and the Political Games

Of course, Kamala Harris didn’t take the snub lightly. She was quick to call DeSantis “irresponsible” and “selfish” for not jumping on her call. She went on a mini-rant about how people are in desperate need and how DeSantis is playing political games. But here’s the irony—Harris is the one playing politics.

It’s laughable, really. Her outrage rings hollow when you consider that she’s more interested in scoring points than actually helping Floridians.

The real story here isn’t Harris’ hurt feelings. It’s the fact that DeSantis is leading a robust response to back-to-back hurricanes while Harris and Biden’s administration flounder.

Floridians are getting the support they need, but it’s coming from DeSantis, not some grand gesture from Washington, D.C. DeSantis is focused on results, not rhetoric.

DeSantis Focuses on the Real Crisis

While Harris makes headlines for all the wrong reasons, DeSantis is on the ground dealing with the real crisis. Hurricane Milton, now a Category 5 storm, is set to make landfall, and the governor isn’t wasting any time.

At a press conference Monday, he urged Floridians in the storm’s path to evacuate immediately. “Time is going to start running out very, very soon,” DeSantis warned. His message was clear: safety comes first.

Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for over 50 counties along Florida’s west coast, including heavily populated areas like Hillsborough, Pasco, and Sarasota counties.

Floridians know the drill by now, having just survived the onslaught of Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm that left parts of the state in shambles. But with Milton expected to bring even more devastation, DeSantis isn’t taking any chances.

Washington’s Failures and FEMA’s Mess

Meanwhile, the Biden administration can’t seem to get its act together. Despite claims of coordination between federal and state agencies, reports from whistleblowers suggest that FEMA’s response to Hurricane Helene was an epic failure. According to Rep. Matt Gaetz, the agency “wasted” funds and mismanaged resources, leaving many Floridians high and dry.

To make matters worse, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that there isn’t enough money left for hurricane relief for the rest of the season.

As if Floridians didn’t have enough to worry about. But don’t expect Kamala Harris or Joe Biden to fix that problem anytime soon. They’re too busy playing politics.

While the White House points fingers, DeSantis is doing what he does best—leading. He’s telling Floridians to stay safe, get out if they need to, and trust that Florida’s leadership has their back.

Key Takeaways:

• Kamala Harris has been making moves that seem more about saving her political future than addressing the real needs of Americans.
• Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected a call from Harris, dismissing it as a political gesture, and is focused on preparing the state for Hurricane Milton after the damage from Hurricane Helene.
• Reports of FEMA’s mishandling of funds during previous hurricane relief efforts, coupled with inadequate federal resources, highlight the Biden administration’s ongoing failures.
