No Good Deed: Politico Slams DeSantis As 'Red-Toothed Biter' As He Handles Hurricane Ian
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

No good deed goes unpunished . . . particularly when it comes to the liberal media, and the person performing the good deeds is a top contender to wrest the White House from Democrat grip.

Example A: this Politico magazine column by Politico's "senior media writer" Jack Shafer.

Don't be fooled by the benign headline: "Ron DeSantis Shows Some Good Manners."

You might anticipate an article praising Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his admirable handling of Hurricane Ian. But to the contrary, Shafer's entire thrust is to cast DeSantis in the most cynical light.

The Democrat/MSM motto is a variation on Cato: “DeSantis delenda est.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The media, who are 99% Leftist activists, have one goal - destroy Republicans, especially conservatives.

Is it me or does DeSantis always seem to wear a coat that is too big for him? :-)

‘Red-Toothed Biter’

WTF does this mean?

Unfortunately for Mr. Shafer, DeSantis has been on national TV looking calm, adult, competent and in charge. No BS printed in Politico can erase that reality. Would love to be a fly on Charlie Crist’s wall as he watches a DeSantis press conference...not that Crist had a prayer before Ian hit.

The left couldn’t even wait for the count of all who perished before they started the political blame game. Shame on them.

What gets me is that DeSantis did his job and coordinated the resources they have. In contrast, Biden couldn't do anything. I have family in Florida and I am thankful for what he has done. Honest question: What, if anything, did Biden do to help. He is a vindictive sociopath.

Probably has body armor under his suit. He knows RATs are maniacs.

And he was even kind enough to evacuate the illegals to Martha’s Vineyard ahead of the storm.

They don’t like him because he lets to many children live.
And the ones that live he won’t let them allow them to be sexualized by trans clowns.

Now every death in Florida will be due to Ian, instead of COVID.

Does DeSantis need help finding his way off stage? Just wondering.
