Via The Recount:

🤔 At a Hurricane #Idalia press conference, Gov. Ron #DeSantis (R-#Florida) was asked today if he supports President Biden’s call for more money for FEMA’s disaster fund: “How Washington handles all this stuff, I don’t quite understand.”

(Reminder: DeSantis was a three-term congressman.)

And this reply is treated by his supporters as a point of pride instead of a dangerous indicator of incompetence. Especially in Florida, one of the states most dependent on FEMA (due to regular state-wide catastrophes called "hurricanes") and the federal gov't (due to expensive real estate being covered by rising sea levels.)

I can't believe he's not driven out of the state with firesticks sticking out of a triple-wide Ford F67834-50 for not getting disaster assisstance.

They want to police bathrooms THIS MUCH.

@GottaLaff “Golly gosh gee, I’m just an average Everyman of the people, I can’t understand this fancy newfangled politics stuff.” -Ron Farmer Green Jeans DeSantis, probably

Reminds me of Clarence Thomas saying he didn’t follow the rules re: financial disclosure because the law is too complicated for him to understand while he’s rv’ing overnight in the Walmart parking lot like the rest of us common peasants, I mean people.
