Governor Ron DeSantis is doing everything that he can to prepare his state of Florida, ignoring the way President Biden tried to score some cheap political points by refusing to talk to the governor for days.

Here’s the governor’s latest presser, by the way. Now this is presidential.

He’s also taking the high ground after President Biden tried to politicize the storm.

5am NHC advisory for Hurricane Ian. Every time you hear “hazards extend outside the cone” this is what they mean, and why I created this graphic. The cone is tracking a point on the map, but Ian is much bigger than a single point. pic.twitter.com/Dsx3EmTJZM

There are going to be people that are going to be critical of the state of Florida no matter how they handle this storm. Here are some early examples:

Reporter: “…Florida’s lax response to this storm so far & that—”
DeSantis: “Whoa,whoa, whoa,whoa. Give me a break. That is nonsense! Stop politicizing,okay? Stop it! We declared a state of emergency when this thing wasn’t even formed.”

Thousands and thousands of people are ready to deploy, and there’s been coordination between the state and FEMA throughout this preparation phase. If anyone was lax, it was Biden, but even he has come around.
