Once upon a time (2013 to be exact), a nasty little first-term Congressman named Ronald DeSantis decided he wanted to make a big, big statement in order to ingratiate himself with a group of fellow conservatives that called themselves the “Tea Party.“ In a gesture that foreshadowed what would later become his trademark “LOL, let’s own the Libs” strategy, and timely occurring the day after he was sworn into office, DeSantis voted to deny billions in relief to New York and New Jersey residents whose lives had been ravaged by one of this nation’s most destructive national disasters, the “Superstorm” known as Hurricane Sandy.
Ron DeSantis wants to lead Florida through hurricanes. He voted against helping Sandy victims.
DeSantis gained stature among conservatives for his 2013 vote against a relief package for Hurricane Sandy victims. But then, as he was on the verge of declaring for Florida governor, he votes in support of a relief package that would help Florida residents.
