Gov. Ron DeSantis holds news conference in Cape Coral related to Hurricane Ian recovery

[@JohnDoe-pt7ru]

DeSantis is my governor and I'm voting for him again next month. God bless this man and his family.

[@JohnnyCage333]

A real true leader, FL Governor Ron DeSantis. And hopefully President one day. The country and We The People need him...🙏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@nursenik1348]

A true leader shines in the monomer of crisis. We are so fortunate in Florida to have Desantis and those who assist him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@maryvernon6454]

Can you imiage what would happen to those under Biden in Florida.

[@richhagenchicago]

An impressive sounding news conference. They seem organized, unlike many places. Hopefully they get services back up soon.

[@DM-oo6hc]

This is how a leader takes care of his people. He is involved with what is going on and lets everyone know to keep them up to date. He is ahead of the game with strategic operations running ahead of crews fixing needed infrastructure that allows more normal needs. Started with making sure people were found and helped find aid and living quarters. Had shut down power pre disaster to save vital power equipment that made it easier to get power reestablished. Getting things done and adapting to changes as they arise. Great job Ron !

[@WanderingExistence]

A real leader tells hurricane Sandy victims that they shouldn't get federal relief money, but then advocates and begs for federal money for his hurricane damage. Real leaders are hypocrites!

[@stevegiblin270]

Right 0n!

[@gj1695]

Well said. But I would add... *Phenomenal* job, Ron. Tactical leadership at its very best. This man is in a class by himself.

[@lindalynn6731]

Thank you for being such a good governor!

[@josemartinez1823]

Sir just keep up…. In Christ Jesus our lord. Blessings

[@dimensions20]

We ❤ you, Governor DeSantis!

Florida is really lucky to have a great leader.

[@lucastorres5175]

Good job sir.😃

[@santiagot.6459]

Best governor ever! 🙌

[@suzannechapman7559]

[@puddingwh0le918]

Being from New Orleans and seeing this makes me wonder what it would be like if we had a leader like this. We went about 3 weeks without any power with endless lines at gas stations.

[@karenaccomando3952]

Great job DeSantis....thank you.

[@josemartinez1823]

Thanks for all your help SIR…. BLESSINGS

[@Nowthatsart]

I have No Power..I’m in that 5%. It’s been 6 days. There’s zero flooding here in South Sarasota where I am by Walts Fish Market. I hope and pray we get our power on soon. Please send FPL Trucks

[@sammybaugues1260]

Hang on helps coming

[@LizaMcK]

we just got power to tonight day 6 I will say keep calling because our county was told our neighborhood had power back on day three and wasn’t true so KEEP CALLING it helps

[@donnafrflorida56]

My neices and nephew in sarasota have had power before me in polk. Keep calling

[@jbcosca]

This man is the most amazing person compared to those scary creatures in our federal government right now. This is the kind of leadership we want and need to strengthen our country. My heart goes out to the people of Florida. So envious of your leadership compared to California. (On a side note... the ones who control our government have weather modification capabilities... Amy Klobuchar accidently blurted that out ... wouldn't have had a hurricane if the people voted democrat).

[@librarynan4610]

Thank goodness Florida has a real leader as governor.

[@davidalthouse2905]

I love this guy's attitude! No we don't need you feds you stay the hell out of here! All you want to do is rub my damn nose in it when I'm having a hell of a time down here so to hell with you! Florida can handle it all by theirselves without having to beg for any damn money from you people! Tell you what this Governor needs to get reelected imagine important thing! He is right on top of it! He's got Wi-Fi back in places he's got power back in places and all that's left without the power is a few spots that really got heavily hit and he didn't need the feds for one damn bit of it! Here here! Keep it free! Yes sir live free and be strong self-dependent! This is an example for the rest of the country!

[@lysliepope3967]

I hope The Senators from New York and New Jersey will block any FEMA Relief for Florida after Hurricane Ian. These scenes of devastation are very reminiscent of the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I think I only fair to return the favor.

[@usa-girl911]

Thank God we got DeSantis elected in 2018! And this is exactly why we need him to stay in Florida for another term and let him get even more experience and keep Florida on the right path and allow him time to get someone in place to take over. If and when he decides to run for President. We can’t lose him anytime soon. It would be disastrous for Florida. And Florida is too important in the big picture to let it go to someone who isn’t ready to lead. Keep up the great work Governor and ALL those working with him during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸

[@JohnnyCage333]

2028 DeSantis!🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@josemartinez1823]

Why don’t anyone… start saying… thanks GOD…………..

It will not happen!!!! 😐 If you only knew the real truth. 😐

Desantis only for the president of the Independent Republic of Florida

[@jvinny1702]

I like this equation - Trump

[@noway8445]

15% of us HAVE to be insured by FEMA for Flood insurance. So glad his only pursuit was “woke Disney” during the special interest meetings for insurance last spring. 👎🏻

[@abryant8287]

It's not about him

[@joyrichards6127]

False narrative by dems.He shot down the pork bill passed help bill

[@WanderingExistence]

@@abryant8287 People seem to make it about him... And happily ignore his blatant hypocrisy. "No disaster relief for you, but lemme get some of that disaster cash." What a tool.

[@susanwilson1230]

I live in NC and lost my home to Florence. Our Gov Ray Cooper did nothing compared to what DeSantis is doing. What a presence he is and Florida blessed to have such a strong and proactive leader who really cares about the residents there.

[@WanderingExistence]

@@susanwilson1230 Sorry about your home. DeSantis might be handling it well, and that's good for Floridians, but that doesn't change his hypocrisy- Republicans would love to harp on something like this if a Democrat did it. So I'm just reminding people that DeSantis is very much a "rules for thee, not for me" type of leader. That can be advantageous, but it also comes with some moral concerns... Just something to think about.

[@Dogband]

O S

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

Not a good time to be a governor. Hope he has lots of energy.

[@greggbergonzi7542]

WTF wuss?? Great time to be a strong Gov. and he is Shinning!!! I'll bet your a jabbed covidiot!! Yes??

[@donnafrflorida56]

He's amazing

[@susanwilson1230]

He seems to be taking it all in stride. This man is amazing. We needed him in NC during Florence.

[@jvinny1702]

I actually think this is only helping him. Living through multiple hurricanes, I cannot remember such resources and organization being lined up despite some outlets blaming him for not being clairvoyant. I forgot that he is running against someone next month.

[@donnafrflorida56]

Been in fla since 1984. Absolutely the best planning organizing and executive EVER!!

[@josemartinez1823]

We must have an OPEN MIND.. no more MOBILE HOME.? It’s lots of way HELPING. The HOMELESS.

Stop saying (world class). Sir.

[@WanderingExistence]

I wonder what the $615,000 that he spent to ship 50 immigrants to Martha's vineyard ($12,300 a seat) could have helped citizens with :/

[@abryant8287]

It would have been more if he didn't do that. That Ukraine money would come in handy right now.

[@WanderingExistence]

@@abryant8287 Biden is giving Florida aid via coast guard, FEMA, and Federal money, why are you acting like we can't fund both Ukraine and disaster relief?? 🤔 I hope you realize by not supporting Ukraine you're in effect supporting Russia in a proxy war. You're ignoring the authoritarian violence that Putin casts down on his international neighbors, the citizens, and even his own government. Supporting Ukraine is supporting democratic values and national sovereignty. Why are you so against fighting a dictator that has massive geopolitical implications?

[@loloforge2841]

@@abryant8287 exactly can you imagine over a trillion dollars spent in Ukraine to help people from Florida instead?

[@susanwilson1230]

With that same thought process, how much did it cost the government to ship them out of Martha’s Vineyard to the military base and who’s paying that bill? You are! Geez. Give it up will ya?

[@prodigiii712]

And tens of billions to fly millions of illegal aliens all around the country. Blame Joe Biden.

I’m CALLING THE CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION…. To Nourish the people that are suffering, please…? Remember: ( what would Christ Jesus will do in this situation). Thanks and Blessings

We still learning …. MASTERS OF HURRICANE… ??? REMEMBER (GOD STILL AND IS IN CONTROL OF THIS COSMOS)

[@angieowen1165]

I am from Kentucky, I do not have to tell you the disasters this state has been through, DeSantis needs to take a lesson from Andy Beshear!! NOT ONCE did Andy toot his own horn, during the ice storm, the Dec tornadoes, and the devastating floods in EKY. What did Andy do? Not try to look fashionable, he was on the ground within HOURS in the effected areas getting his hands to work and not ONE relief worker was asked to stop working due to his presence! This jackwagon can't help but make it about him and not his people who are suffering.

[@donnafrflorida56]

If the media didn't try to play gotcha at every news conference, maybe he wouldn't but ya know what. HE IS AWESOME. N

[@angieowen1165]

Or we get the help that we're entitled too. Floridians pay federal taxes just like everybody else.

[@susanwilson1230]

On top of record inflation and everything else that’s happened in our country under the current administration we’re on the verge of WWIII and you still can’t connect the dots. So let me help you understand. This news conference is NOT about politics. It is an update by a governor who is proactively doing the job he was elected to do in the wake of a tragic situation. People are reeling and struggling to survive and many have lost their lives so show a little class and go spew your political ignorance somewhere else. This is not the time or place.

You must be a dem vindictive .None of your "leaders"can solve even the smallest problems. Can't even handle 50 immigrants with your phony compassion..You just dump thousands on the Texas Gov.

[@nursenik1348]

Wonder how karma will inflict those making such despicable comments such as yours.
