Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blasted a reporter Thursday for her apparent desire, and that of the broader media, to attack President-elect Donald Trump and give blameworthy Democratic leaders a pass in their coverage of the Golden State’s devastating fires.
A day after holding a closed-door meeting in Washington, D.C., with Republican senators, Trump hosted a dinner for 22 of America’s 27 Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago, where he discussed various matters, including manufacturing concerns, the possible purchase of Greenland, the late President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, and the fires in California. Following the dinner, DeSantis and several of his peers fielded questions from the press.
One reporter asked whether it was “appropriate” for a president or president-elect to criticize Newsom at this time.
