KJP: DeSantis refusing to take calls from the White House about Hurricane Milton

Aaron Rupar
KJP on DeSantis refusing to take calls from the White House about Hurricane Milton: "It's up to him if he wants to respond to us or not. But what we're doing is we're working with state and local officials to make sure we are ready to there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job."

It's his fucking JOB to coordinate with the Federal Government given this is the SECOND hurricane to hit his fucking state in as many weeks!

Of course that's not the way we play. We'll take the call and do everything we can to help the people.

The loss of human life, even MAGA lives, becomes necessary. I really hope his political career is nearing an end because of this.

that those weirdos from the Heritage Foundation and the felon want to disband NOAA in Project 2025 so people don't get any warnings for weather events like this. They hate science.

Go to page 33 and take a glance.

Floridians, WTF is your Governor thinking? Possible cabinet position? Apparently his politics are more important than your safety. Fire that POS.

He does not give a shit about the people he was elected to serve--all he cares about is his own fee fees and sticking it to the libs.

He has not advanced emotionally since he was an adolescent.
