DeSantis: Feds Are “Playing Politics” With My FEMA Funds Because They’d Rather Give Money To Ukraine

August 6, 2024 Climate Change, Republicans

“They’re playing politics. Some people don’t want to do money to help victims of natural disaster in our own country because they want more money for things like Ukraine and things halfway around the world. And I think they need to stop playing politics with it and just get it done. We are way more proactive than any other state on working to fill gaps when the federal government drags its feet on stuff because the federal bureaucracy can take a long time to be able to do so.” – Gov. Ron “Don’t Say Climate Change” DeSantis, speaking this morning at a Hurricane Debby press conference in Steinhatchee, Florida.
