Ron DeSantis Under Pressure Over Florida Gas Shortage: 'Where is He?'Newsweek, Apr 20, 2023
Ron DeSantis is being put under further pressure to resolve Florida's gas shortage issue as Twitter users rage at the governor.
Southern Florida has been affected by gas shortages after last week's extreme weather, most notably high levels of flooding, disrupted the regular distribution and delivery of fuel.
Heavy rain in eastern Broward County last week caused floods in Port Everglades roads, after last week's extreme weather, most notably high levels of flooding, disrupted the regular distribution and delivery of fuel.
Social media users have complained and shared clips of gas stations without any fuel and the long lines they would have to queue in to get any gas.
Earlier this week, DeSantis took a trip to Washington, D.C., in an alleged bid to gain support within his party to challenge former President Donald Trump for the GOP nomination, according to a CNN report.
Angela Van Der Pluym, an investigative journalist according to her Instagram bio, responded to a tweet praising DeSantis for signing a new bill.
Der Pluym tweeted: "Anyone can sign a bill written by someone else for a 5 min photo op, Jenna. Where is he when his state needs him most?
"He was absent during the flood, and now they haven't had gas in 4 days. Oh yeah, out of state secretly campaigning."
