A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday that there are no plans for the Republican to meet with President Joe Biden when he travels to Florida on Saturday, contradicting comments Biden made earlier in the day indicating they would.
“We don’t have any plans for the Governor to meet with the President tomorrow,” DeSantis spokesperson Jeremy Redfern told CNN Friday. “In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts.”
Biden had told CNN earlier Friday that “yes,” he did plan to meet with the Florida governor while surveying damage from Hurricane Idalia in the state over the weekend.
DeSatan is going to take credit for all the money Biden gives the state. What’s worse is that so many average people who don’t follow the news will probably believe him.
Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if right wing loons come up with some kind of story that Biden was the one who didn’t want to meet in person. They always have to spin their stories and distort the truth.
It won’t even be spin… Fox News will report that the president didn’t meet the Governor when in Florida and the brain rotted losers who watch will start screaming about Biden being a bad guy.
Fox, tomorrow : “Biden failed to meet with Desantis…”
They already tried something like that with the fires in Hawaii. I thought they kept on repeating “where’s Joe?” narrative to make it seem like he wasn’t doing anything.
OK, new update:
Weird thing is - it’s not Fox News. It’s the motherfuckin New York Times. https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/111001939187242380
People have to realize that all corporate news media is mostly anti-Democrat. Some of them are blatant, like Fox. The rest fall under the news media theme for the last few decades:
They give right wing Republicans one free-pass after another, while holding Democrats to impossibly high standards.
Next time there is a story in a regular non-Fox newspaper or TV news program that is critical of Biden, spin it around and think back if that same news station was just as critical of Trump or Bush Jr. They allow Republicans to get away with almost anything, and then when a Democrat does anything out if the ordinary or that could possibly cause a controversy, they leap on the story.
