DeSantis Politicking In Ohio As Ft. Lauderdale Flooded

By Susie Madrak — April 14, 2023

Rhonda Santis seems to have a problem doing his actual job -- you know, the one he gets paid for? Via The New Republic:

Parts of Florida are experiencing the heaviest rainfall in history, and Governor Ron DeSantis is on the scene to help his constituents.

Not really. He’s on a book tour in Ohio.

Fort Lauderdale, in southern Florida, had the rainiest day in its history Wednesday, sparking a flash flood emergency in Broward County, where the city is located. The region got more than a foot of rainfall, but Fort Lauderdale alone got about 26 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. A meteorologist for the National Weather Service described the rainfall as a “1-in-1,000 year event, or greater.”

This is just one reason Florida has a law requiring someone to resign if they're running for federal office. Fortunately for Rhonda, his minions in the state legislature are working hard to overturn that law -- harder than Ron works to help the people of Florida.

While Florida was under flood waters, an international airport is shut down, Ron DeSantis was in Ohio, speaking at Butler County Lincoln Day Dinner, testing campaign waters he seems to be drowning in https://t.co/C4Yn7D0x0Y

WATCH! I asked Fort Lauderdale Mayor @DeanTrantalis if he has spoken with Governor DeSantis after the unprecedented flooding in Fort Lauderdale. @BryanDGriffin says: “DEM is working with the localities to understand needs and provide aid.” pic.twitter.com/mJVAEYBvG1

Meanwhile DeSantis is on his book tour/non-campaign, promising that he’ll figure out a way to stick it to Disney. https://t.co/oDTZmzSg9X
