Florida Politics reports:
Did striking dock workers get back to work because they knew Ron DeSantis wouldn’t back down from their demands? The Governor isn’t saying no, telling a friendly radio show host that he used his “megaphone” to effectuate desired results when it came to the recent work stoppage from the International Longshoremen’s Association.
“I knew we would be able to get this stuff resumed,” Florida’s Chief Executive said Friday. “I think I was the first major elected official to actually lean in on it in a way that benefited the public. I think a lot of other people have been kind of tiptoeing around it. A lot of people were justifying what was happening,” DeSantis said Friday.

That “friendly radio host” was right wing nutbag Dana Loesch, who is perhaps better known as the pitchwoman for “SuperBeets.”
Earlier this week DeSantis declared that he would have obviously untrained Florida state troops work to offload shipping containers.
