Ron DeSantis attacked Kamala Harris during an interview Monday night, calling her “delusional” amid reports that the Florida governor refused to take the VP’s calls to discuss hurricane relief.
Asked earlier in the day about a report that, as a DeSantis aide described, “Kamala was trying to reach out, and [the DeSantis team] didn’t answer,” the vice president told reporters, “People are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games at this moment, in these crisis situations—these are the height of emergency situations—it’s utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”

During an appearance on The View on Tuesday, Harris said it was a “shame” she hadn’t been able to speak to DeSantis, and that she will continue to call him when she is president.

What’s your point? She’s trying to contact the representative of the state to be able to get shit done and that representative is essentially telling her to fuck off. A general doesn’t order the corporals around, they go down the chain of command vaguely in order, and so the same thing happens in most any power structure even if the highest leader is fairly involved. And this isn’t a situation where you can just fire the problem and move on.
I don’t think explodicle was criticizing Harris, I think they were criticizing desantis for not picking up the phone and talking to the person he should be talking to
I’d sure love to figure out how they meant it, then. “Isn’t it your job to…” is used nearly exclusively in the english language to deflect blame and/or call someone out for trying to avoid doing their job.
I see it both ways. He’s basically speaking at DeSantis saying that she is just doing her job while he is trying to make it political
I read it the same way you did at first too
