REPREHENSIBLE: Despite Hurricane Ian’s devastation, Ron DeSantis refuses to cancel rally with racist influencer
PLEASE NOTE: UPDATE AVAILABLE AT BOTTOM OF ARTICLE. In the wake of devastating Hurricane Ian, Ron DeSantis refuses to cancel a campaign rally with a known racist.
Aside from mismanagement of our resources and tax dollars, DeSantis has not dialed down his reelection campaign activities.
On the very night that southwest and central Florida was suffering under Hurricane Ian, he went on Tucker Carlson’s right-wing show for one of his usual softball interviews.
What’s more egregious is that DeSantis’ campaign hasn’t canceled a planned campaign rally in Miami with Alex Otaola, a far-right Cuban-American influencer who has caused controversy for performing in blackface.

A normal governor would never campaign with a racist far-right lunatic like Otaola. A normal governor would cancel a campaign rally as the state they preside over reels with billions of dollars worth of property damage and a still unknown death toll.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a normal governor, we have Ron DeSantis, an individual who only cares about himself and is singularly focused on himself and his political career.
Florida has just been struck by a powerful hurricane that devastated our state. From the southwestern region to Orlando, high-velocity winds and flooding from Hurricane Ian have caused billions of dollars worth of damage as people lose their homes and their communities are devastated.
The images are tough to take in.
