Last Friday, Tallahassee was ravaged by three tornados in a severe weather event that killed one person, damaged hundreds of buildings, and left tens of thousands without power for days. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:

“Tallahassee is reeling from historic storms, and Ron DeSantis is too busy planning fundraisers for Donald Trump to care,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “While first responders and linemen were working around the clock to help the people of Leon County, Ron was busy playing golf and tweeting about pizza.

“It’s appalling that thousands of people are on day 5 without power and FEMA hasn’t been called in. Florida Democrats are calling on Ron to swallow his pride and coordinate with the Biden Administration to make sure that everyone who needs assistance is getting it as quickly as possible.”
