"In the end, it wasn't culture war feuding over restricting LGBTQ+ rights, thwarting Black voters or vilifying immigrants that finally broke Republicans' DeSantis fever in Florida. Nor was it his rightwing takeover of higher education, the banning of books from school libraries, his restriction of drag shows, or passive assent of neo-Nazis parading outside Disney World waving flags bearing the extremist governor's name that caused them to finally stand up to him. It was Lil' Ron wanting to build golf courses in state parks that took him down. This was the bridge too far.

It's no longer just the boots, it's now the fake storm debris. This isn't "winning" -- it's actually pathetic. Exposed! Ron DeSantis Accused of Creating a 'Fake Storm Debris Backdrop' for Hurricane Milton Press Briefing: Watch https://okmagazine.com/p/ron-desantis-accused-creating-fake-storm-debris-backdrop-press-briefing/ Ron DeSantis has been accused of putting together a backdrop for a press event regarding Hurricane Milton recovery efforts. In a clip posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, it looks like one worker is throwing debris to a pile behind a podium where DeSantis, who is the governor of Florida, was ready to make his address in Treasure Island. It's unclear if the governor set this up or not. "Ron DeSantis has a fake storm debris backdrop created for his press briefing. This is the same Ron DeSantis who accused Kamala Harris of politicizing the hurricane," one user wrote alongside the clip. In another post, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried said DeSantis had been caught "adding debris behind [the] podium" before his news conference. "Ron has no shame — he's spent weeks accusing everyone else of politicizing this disaster while ordering workers to window dress his press conference," Fried said. Others came to DeSantis' defense, including Christina Pushaw, who previously worked on the politician's failed presidential campaign. "So are you claiming that there is NO real debris for him to stand in front of? Because everyone who's been to any of the areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton knows that's a lie. Reality: Debris like this is everywhere, and you are gaslighting Floridians about it for politics," she wrote. "The workers in this video are moving the debris onto a pile to make it easier for the equipment to haul and dispose of it." DeSantis previously lashed out at VP Harris, as a report claimed he refused to take her calls in response to Hurricane Helene, which ripped through Florida right before Milton. "I didn't know that she had called," he said. "I'm not sure who they called. They didn't call me. Their characterization of it was something that they did. It wasn't anything that anybody in my office did, in terms of saying it was political." White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the situation between Harris and DeSantis, to which she said, "That's really for the governor to speak to, right?" "It was his decision ... to not attend or not be there with the president. ... It is up to him," she added of why DeSantis didn't come survey the storm with President Joe Biden. "We are doing our part, in the Biden-Harris administration, working — obviously FEMA is work — is on the ground, all hands on deck, whole of government. Robust approach here. And so, again, that's for Govenor DeSantis to speak to."
So let's see if DeSantis tries to suspend the prosecutor again -- now that she has been re-elected. So much "winning" for DeSantis seeing people he cast out of office simply win them again in elections over and over.
