Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is blasting President Joe Biden for his public comments about the wildfires in Maui, Hawaii.
During an event on Friday, DeSantis said, “You have these horrible fires in Hawaii… It’s a great area. Just utter devastation.”
“And Biden, what is he doing? He ends up on the beach. And then he’s asked about it and he says, ‘No comment.’ Now look, if a Republican had tried to do that, what do you think the media would do? They would go crazy,” he continued.
