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."

Classic media ambush. Wait for something to go wrong, then shout for the whole room 'Where's Ron DeSantis? Where is he?'

And all the Trumpets go right along and  :yowsa:

Is Rubio wrong when he calls for a solution to the gas shortage ---- that enough is enough?

The shortage is in part because there are people hoarding gas.  Ft. Lauderdale and the surrounding are had historic rainfall and flooding.  The airport was shutdown.

The storm was a major weather event -- normally issues with gas follows.

And he is.  No problems around here where I live.  Now, if we could just get Brandon to lower the cost of gas.

When Nicole came through, you expected him to drop everything and respond to Donald's sundowner tweets.  Why don't you rent a gas truck and haul some petrol to the 7-Eleven in Fort Liquordale.

The shortage in South Florida was caused by panic buying by a bunch of snowbird New Yorkers and other Yankee scum.  This doesn't happen during hurricane season because by then, all the Yankees have gone back North.

That is what happens when a Governor decides he may run for President ... both Mike Dukakis (1986-1990) and Mitt Romney (2002-2006) left Massachusetts high-n'-dry the last two years of their terms as Governor ... Floridians better get used to having an absentee governor.

No one, including me, faulted DeSantis for what caused the problem.  Floridians, however, do fault him for ignoring it @mountaineer Maybe he should appoint an acting governor while he's away not campaigning for president?
