If it’s a day that ends in -y you can count on Governor Ron DeSantis taking credit for the work of President Biden and Democrats. Yesterday, Governor DeSantis announced $404 million for climate change preparation – the largest amount ever seen in Florida – all of which came from the American Rescue Plan that DeSantis previously referred to as “Washington at its worst.” Of course, he failed to mention that, but thanks anyway for highlighting how Floridians are benefiting from the work of President Biden and congressional Democrats.

At this point the hypocrisy of Governor Ron DeSantis is not surprising, it’s expected.
