Biden Praises DeSantis’ “Remarkable” Response to Hurricane
6 Oct 2022
Clay and Buck joke, in the audio clip above, how Charlie Crist’s campaign staff must have become beyond dejected when Joe Biden praised Ron DeSantis’ “remarkable job” regarding hurricane response. We wanted more truth in politics: That’s one rare case of Joe telling the truth!
But then, of course, in the Tweet below we see Biden’s actual rambling self, introducing politics as usual, by trying to pin most everything on global warming — and telephone polls?

“Mr. President, welcome to Florida.”
President Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shook hands and put their budding political rivalry aside as Biden visited the Sunshine State to see firsthand the destruction caused by Hurricane Ian. https://t.co/c7LGnleWC2 pic.twitter.com/Ed04bouv0B

Meanwhile, so-called checkers of fact are trying to say Kamala didn’t say what she said about prioritizing aid for some skin colors over others.
People slamming @VP Harris over her comments about equity are doing so in bad faith, or at the very least, ignorance. VP Harris was answering a separate question, not to do with Ian response. It was about ” the global implications of emissions.” Here’s the Q then the A: pic.twitter.com/Z82iEmckh6

If you’re going to come after DeSantis, you’d better knock him out, because he fights back. Just look how he smacked Disney out of politics.
Six months after the “Don’t Say Gay” controversy, Disney has clearly been weakened by the fight while Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ profile as a conservative culture warrior has only grown. https://t.co/e57gqnY7p5

The age gap between Biden and DeSantis was also really obvious, and people went crazy over the governor behind the presidential seal. Clay said it was reminiscent of a virile son and a well beyond prime dad. Buck asked if this is really the doddering guy we want making our nuclear decisions, especially if it becomes a crisis.
I must say… great work by team Biden getting DeSantis a head start for January 2025 and beyond with the podium pic.twitter.com/UmqYqs9R92

The capitol of the GOP has shifted to Florida, and you have to wonder if this will set up a donnybrook between President Trump and DeSantis for the 2024 nomination.
