Facing Florida‘s second Category 5 hurricane in under two weeks, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) did what he has done multiple times before. The governor picked up the phone to collaborate with the president, and for the third time in a row, the Republican and the Democrat set aside their penchant for partisanship and executed some of the more competent handling of major hurricanes in the Sunshine State’s history.
For some reason, Vice President Kamala Harris managed to find a problem with this.
In three years as vice president, Harris has never once reached out to DeSantis over a Florida hurricane, just as she never befriended colleagues across the aisle while she was the most left-wing member of the Senate. Instead, while DeSantis was quietly coordinating with the actual sitting president over a looming disaster capable of killing thousands, Harris decided to insert herself into the news cycle by attacking DeSantis for not calling her.
After NBC cited totally legitimate unnamed sources claiming that DeSantis had not responded to calls made by Harris to his office, the presidential nominee called DeSantis “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish” for “playing political games.” The problem, of course, is that even if there is a game, Harris is the only one playing.
Biden has repeatedly and effusively praised the “very gracious” and “cooperative” DeSantis for “doing a great job,” denying that DeSantis needed to call Harris back when asked by the White House press pool.
