    Ron DeSantis Cooks Breakfast At Waffle House For Hurricane First Responders | The Daily Wire

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) cooked breakfast Saturday morning for first responders who have been on the frontlines dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.



    The governor’s office said that there are 42,000 lineman responding to the more than 1.2 million power outages caused by the catastrophic damage from Hurricane Ian. The lineman have already restored power to more than 1.4 million Floridians, the governor’s office added.

    As of early Saturday morning, over 1,000 members of search and rescue teams made more than 1,100 rescues. Helicopters had been used for nearly 200 of the rescue responses and the Florida National Guard is also involved in efforts to conduct search and rescue operations with individual counties.

    We are so lucky and blessed to have this great Governor

    We could have used that money from his Martha's Vineyard stunt for hurricane relief.

    He's a crisis actor governor, nothing more.

    Publicity stunt. I’m sure there is actual work he could be doing instead of pandering.

    He probably only served food to the first responders who voted for him

    Going to guess here but did he do a full shift or was he there just long enough to get that perfect laymans picture? Do note that he has NO gloves on while playing fry cook.

    I’m not complaining. it’s not like I started this thread. But it seems clear this was a photo op for pandering purposes.

    If I started a thread to complain about Desantis doing this it would suggest I give a shit that he’s pandering. I don’t. Just making a comment.

    I wasn’t rating the levels of shit people were giving. Yes, people can complain even if they weren’t the ones who started a thread.

    I had my power back up in less than 2 days after the hurricane hit. Thank you Governor DeSantis and the Missouri lineman that made it happen.

    Missed opportunity. What people need are paper towels to soak up the water. Trump knew this. Desantis will never rule the stupid like he wants.

    Did you love him when he sent away or refused help from other states?
