Last week we told you how Politico attacked DeSantis before Hurricane Ian hit.
Their tweet suggested that DeSantis had never faced a hurricane, which was completely false. Then in their article they tried to make it look like DeSantis was doing a poor job, comparing him to the previous Republican governor.
Well today they are at it again, trying to paint DeSantis as some kind of money-grubbing hypocrite:
DeSantis has been a critic of Biden on nearly every policy front. But he sure does like the president's wallet.
Over the past two years, DeSantis’ admin received billions in federal relief cash, which the governor has used to fund his top priorities.https://t.co/pmzBGQpz2e

The president’s wallet? Has Biden sent DeSantis some of his Hunter money?
What a stupid way to frame their argument, which is idiotic on its face. As Christina Pushaw points out…
What is wrong with you? It's not "the president's wallet". It is American taxpayers' money.
Americans in any state hit by a disaster are entitled to federal disaster relief funds, whether or not you approve of the governor.
The media disgusts me more every day.

Absolutely. Florida has received federal tax relief from the American taxypayer, not from Joe Biden. And furthermore, as she points out, it’s relief aid that every state is entitled to from the federal government.
Plus Florida is 4th highest state in terms of taxes paid to the federal government. They pay more than 46 other states, but Politico calls this the ‘president’s wallet’???
The swords are out for DeSantis because they know this man will likely be running the country at some point and they can’t stand the thought…
