The badass Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, unloaded on the media tonight when they attacked President-elect Trump for criticizing Governor Newsom over the wildfires in Los Angeles.

DeSantis cut off the reporter and said:

“Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and try to create narratives anytime these things happen? Now you’re not as interested in doing that because Newsom is a ‘D’. If Newsom was a Republican, you guys would have him nailed to the wall for what they’re doing over there.”

I know we’ve dealt with it. We just assume in Florida anytime something happens it’s going to be politicized by the media. So you guys sitting in judgement of Donald Trump – I mean excuse me, I think you’re track record of politicizing these things is very, very bad.

A second reporter challenged DeSantis, saying that Trump called on Newsom to resign and said the wildfires were all his fault. She asked if DeSantis agreed with those comments.

He responded:

I remember when we had the Surfside Tower collapse. I had people from the Washington Post trying to blame me for it, immediately without having any facts or anything… What I’m telling you is that you guys are trying to make an issue of it when I have watched from this seat.

In fact when I got elected governor, I was meeting with some of the other Republcian governors and what they would say is ‘hey, if you have a natural disaster just know, the media is coming at you’. It’s not the same. That mayor of LA, if that were a Republican mayor, I can only imagine what that would do. I mean you know the fires are at high risk and you try to go to Africa or wherever she was to go on some type of voyage? She should have been there preparing! And yet I don’t see a lot of heat being directed in that thing. So, you know, I’d like to see some balance on how this is done. You criticize the president-elect but I think you also have to hold these other people accountable and I have not seen that.
