Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Monday he “was not aware” of post-Hurricane Helene calls from Vice President Harris after multiple reports emerged that he dodged them. “I didn’t know she called me. … I was not aware of that,” the Florida governor said at a Hurricane Milton-focused press conference.

According to NBC News, who reported on the matter first, a source said that the reason behind the Florida governor not picking up the phone was that, per an aide for DeSantis, the calls “seemed political.” The aide also said Harris “was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” and that DeSantis and President Biden talking was “not to my knowledge.”

“The president has approved what we asked for. We’re thankful for that. If there’s something we need that they don’t approve, I will not hesitate to call him. … But everything we’ve asked for, from President Biden, he has approved,” DeSantis said in response to being asked about talking with Biden at the Monday press conference.

The White House later directed The Hill to a statement in a pool report that said Biden “had separate calls with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor to get a firsthand report on recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene, and to discuss preparations for Hurricane Milton” late Monday.

1. So lying isn't a sin now, huh? He lied when he said he didn't know about the call,

And he lied when he said he was grateful to President Biden for the help. I don’t think the man has ever been grateful for anything. He’s so Trumpy.

12. "He's so Trumpy!"

[Walleye]

13. A future epithet that will replaced a lot of others

15. Nothing is a sin if you are a

Republican. Everything is a sin if you are a Democrat. It isn't about what you do, it is about who you are.

2. Was he busy putting on his Lil boots?

Lying sack of shit . . .

[mitch96]

3. He is a republican politician so of course he is lying....and the dog ate my homework....nt

[Squaredeal]

16. For Republicans, it's called "Politics".

…Not Lying.

[Delarage]

4. He's a flaming A-hole

But I'd put this in an ad:

“The president has approved what we asked for. We’re thankful for that. If there’s something we need that they don’t approve, I will not hesitate to call him. … But everything we’ve asked for, from President Biden, he has approved,” DeSantis said

5. The title of the OP could have been shortened...

To “DeSantis not aware”.

Ignorance, conscientious stupidity and arrogance as well.

Republicans are destroying the country.

7. Hey, hill, it's "nbc news, which", not "who". Despite scrotus, nbc news is not

a person.

Other than that, l'il boots did not quite expect the reaction to his boast about dodging calls. oooops!

8. trump whores can't even lie effectively, anymore. (nt)

[wolfie001]

10. I approve this message/take!!!

[wolfie001]

9. I would think his wife would be giving him some advice that would be helpful in him being a better person

....but then again, I could be wrong and she's just going along like Goering's wife did.

[littlemissmartypants]

19. She's a huge part of his problem. No doubt! ❤️

[wolfie001]

25. Yeppers!!!

[cadoman]

11. only a MAGAT would turn an anthropomorphic climate disaster into a political moment

I'd be disgusted if I was a Floridian. Hopefully they have the sense to respond accordingly in the voting booth.

If a Governor refuses to take calls from an executive because they are a WOMAN they are clearly not fit for office.

[Walleye]

14. You hit the nail on the head right there. He thinks it's OK because she's not male.

[intheflow]

17. So this could actually be some pissant aide who came up this this?

I mean, DeSatan is, well, satanic, but I was pretty shocked to read he refused a call about hurricane relief and recovery as Milton bears down. I'm inclined to believe him over the aide, who was probably just spit-balling what he thought was a "cool" response to those commie Dems. Because MAGA aren't the brightest bulbs in the fixtures.

[BradBo]

18. Sure. Now watch half of Florida get blown into the Atlantic ocean.

Good luck asshates. "And like a bad neighbor, State Farm is out of here."

20. How big of him to blame it on his underlings. What a punk.

21. Love your Pinocchios

Looks like the Washington Post ones.

[AZLD4Candidate]

23. And Florida elected, then re-elected this clown.

Welcome to the Republican party.

[JohnQFunk]

28. Yeah, riiiight. DeSantis is as big a liar as TSF

[Lulu KC]

29. "Not Aware" should be his tagline in general n/t

[Cha]

33. Excellent! de satan woudn't take the

VP's call but too chicken to admit it.. rather act incompetent... but not an "act".

[republianmushroom]

30. This dude lies as much as the convicted felon.

[grumpyduck]

31. And some people still believe him.

There's no fixing stupid.

[Cha]

32. Who's in Charge there in Florida, De Stupid? Cerainly

Not you.

[stollen]

34. Let's hope Harris' staff is more organized

than deSantis'. Gees, the VP calls him and he blows her off. He's a sexist pig.

I'm sure he won't need any supplemental FEMA funding.
