Kamala Harris shames Ron DeSantis over “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish” behavior
NBC News that DeSantis staffers believed Harris’s call to DeSantis was politically motivated.Asked yesterday about reports of DeSantis refusing her call, Harris, without naming him, said, “People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations … is utterly irresponsible.”“It is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”Watch below.Reporter: There are reports that DeSantis is ignoring your calls..Kamala Harris: Playing political games at this moment…It's utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do pic.twitter.com/lySDD98xO9Harris also criticized Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about relief efforts to Helene.“There’s a lot of mis- and disinformation being pushed out there by the former president about what is available, particularly to the survivors of Helene,” Harris told reporters before boarding Air Force Two. “It’s extraordinarily irresponsible.
It’s about him. It’s not about you.”DeSantis has since claimed that no one told him the Vice President wanted to talk.“I didn’t know that she had called,” he said at a press conference yesterday. “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.”Speaking to Sean Hannity last night, DeSantis went further.
He said he’d spoken with President Joe Biden, rather than Harris.“For Kamala Harris to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish, is delusional,” he said.“She has no role in this.
