Hurricane Ian laid waste to pretty much the entire State of Florida. The hypocrisy of the Republican elected officials😠😠😠
And, while we are looking at the hypocrisy, please explain how FAIR ELECTIONS CAN BE HELD IN FLORIDA IN NOVEMBER, which is only 4 weeks away??
Neither of Florida’s 2 Republican senators voted for Florida to receive federal disaster funds.
Rick Scott voted no.
Marco Rubio did not show up.

DANA BASH: You're asking for disaster relief money for Florida, but you voted against a relief package after Sandy
MARCO RUBIO: It included stuff like a roof for a museum in DC
BASH: I read the congressional research report and it sounds like the roof was damaged by the storm pic.twitter.com/iZ9zNcFexT

New Jersey wanted to send supplies and aid to Florida as many residents are in need of assistance and fascist Ron DeSantis turned it down. This is yet another staggering example of progress vs hate.

I hate this kind of tweet but if a Democratic governor was lying about a Democratic county fucking up an evacuation and then downplaying the death toll of that county, the American press would never stop screaming. but when a republican does it? silence.

They didn’t evacuate people until the day before landfall we knew this storm was coming for a week. OMG! https://t.co/rWG1Teyqz9

A quote from the Financial Times:
“[Florida] lawmakers had ample warning about the need to act during the legislative session earlier this year, but they displayed more interest in waging culture-war battles than in helping Floridians to secure their lives and their property.”

Do not, I repeat, do not donate any hurricane donations to any charity involving Ron DeSantis or his wife. Don’t donate to a Florida charity. Please donate to established and honestly run charities. Call FEMA to find out which is best option.

I can’t believe that Florida has people stranded, some on islands without access, no food, no water, no shelter for their children, or medical care……And yet DeSantis refuses needed helicopter rescue and emergency services from NJ. & Indiana because they are blue states!
— Sherry, MSN, CRNP (@FactCheckNoLie) October 2, 2022
@TheJusticeDept This needs to be investigated. I've never heard of a Governor asking the people for money to be sent directly to the state gov for disaster relief, especially not after President Biden has issued a state of emergency for FL that opens FEMA's resources up.

Somebody explain to me how this muthafuckah’s administration had time to meticulously arrange flights to Martha’s Vineyard for migrants but couldn’t evacuate Lee County in time for a disastrous hurricane they knew was coming?
— Renee (@PettyLupone) October 2, 2022
Ron DeSantis has been so obsessed with petty feuds and cheap stunts over the past few years, he let his state fall into total disrepair – and his failed hurricane response has exposed just how badly he's screwed up Florida. Vote his pathetic ass out in November.

1. While @RonDeSantisFL was fighting the culture wars, banning CRT and shipping migrants to Martha's Vineyard, he failed to meaningfully address Florida's dysfunctional and collapsing property insurance market

3. Florida property faces catastrophic risks from weather events that worsen each year due to climate change.

Shot: Ron DeSantis blames FL's insurance crisis, in part, on pro-consumer changes state leaders made in 2007 because "they drove all the insurers out – all the big ones out."
The "big ones" he's referring to include industry giant State Farm, which fought many of the '07 changes https://t.co/wifot6ZDbg

FL Sen Rick Scott knows many of the destroyed properties are owned outright by seniors and aren’t insured. He voted against hurricane relief aid for them. Don’t think for a minute he and others don’t have their eyes on that real estate.

That filthy animal Ron DeSantis was so obsessed with human trafficking, he couldn't even get his state ready for a hurricane, and now a lot of innocent people are dead. DeSantis is guilty of human trafficking AND negligent homicide.
