Florida governor Ron DeSantis is the left’s worst nightmare: he’s Trumpian policy and platform with polish and poise. He’s charismatic, supremely likable, charming, clever, politically savvy, conservative, articulate, and unafraid.
DeSantis is full of fight against the leftist agenda, its activist media arm, and its Big Tech and antifa/BLM enforcers. So it’s no surprise that as he racks up win after win and builds a stellar national profile ahead of a potential presidential bid as early as 2024, they are already demonizing him, attempting to destroy him.
The problem for them, apparently, is that there aren’t enough actual problems with his agenda or governing because they resort to just making things up and reporting their fantasist nonsense as “news.”
Case in point, Washington Post ‘reporter,’ Hannah Dreier, took to Twitter to “report” a completely bogus, fact-free narrative that following the collapse of the condo in Miami-Dade county, DeSantis refused to allow FEMA in to . . . well, that part’s not clear. Apparently, Drier imagines that FEMA is some kind of first responder force that responds to local events like the fire department or law enforcement.
Embarrassing for a “reporter” with such a once-prestigious outlet as WaPo to be so ill-informed, but she’s either really that ignorant (and can’t figure out to use to Google search) or she was acting with DeSantis deranged malice. Neither is a good look for a supposed journalist.
But it gets worse, not only does Dreier imagine that FEMA is some sort of first responder, but she has no idea how the chain of response works from local, to state, to federal.
In fact, the Democrat mayor of Miami-Dade refuted this crazy #FakeNews on Meet the Press stating that the state of Florida “has been here in force” since the beginning and that “we’ve not lacked for any support.”
Ultimately, of course, this “journalist” completely discounts all local, county, and state officials and first responders because to the left, the federal—the central and only recognized—government is king. If the feds in FEMA gear aren’t there handing out water and filling out forms in triplicate, nothing is happening. This is an insult to local, city, and county government, which in Miami-Dade is largely Democrat.
While the goal was to bash DeSantis, the effect is to bash local, mostly Democrat, elected officials. Oops.
