I know that people roll their eyes when you suggest there’s some part of Joe Biden that wants Kamala Harris to lose after she and the Democratic Party stabbed him in the back. After all, Donald Trump is a “threat to democracy,” and how could the president possibly prefer anything but a Harris victory? But man are these instances getting hard to ignore.
The setup revolves around a disgusting and shameful attack launched by the vice president on Monday in which she accused Gov. Ron DeSantis of playing politics by not taking her call. As RedState reported, Harris lambasted the Florida governor even as another major hurricane barrels toward his state.
It took a lot of chutzpah to say that while DeSantis was busy doing things that matter. You know, like running the disaster response for what is going to be one of the largest hurricanes ever to hit Florida. Why exactly is Harris calling anyway? I’ve been assured by her supporters, including Mark Cuban, that the vice president has no power and is responsible for nothing. What would she have to offer of value?
DeSantis blasted the vice president in response, saying that she’s the one politicizing the storm, trying to get a boost for her presidential campaign.
DESANTIS: And so for Kamala Harris to say the my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional. She has no role in this. In fact, she has been vice president for three and a half years; I’ve dealt with a number of storms during this administration and she has never contributed anything to these efforts. And so what I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this…
And I will say this, I’ve had storms under both President Trump and President Biden, and I’ve worked well with both of them. She’s the first one who’s trying to politicize the storm, and she’s doing that just because of her campaign. She’s trying to get some kind of an edge, she knows she doing poorly, and so she’s playing these political games. I don’t have time for political games. I’ve got people whose lives are on the line.
