Ron DeSantisĀ attackedĀ Kamala Harris during an interview Monday night, calling her ā€œdelusionalā€ amid reports that the Florida governor refused to take the VPā€™s calls to discuss hurricane relief.

Asked earlier in the day about aĀ reportĀ that, as a DeSantis aide described, ā€œKamala was trying to reach out, and [the DeSantis team] didnā€™t answer,ā€ the vice president told reporters, ā€œPeople are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games at this moment, in these crisis situationsā€”these are the height of emergency situationsā€”itā€™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.ā€

ā€¦

During an appearance onĀ The ViewĀ on Tuesday, Harris said it was a ā€œshameā€ she hadnā€™t been able to speak to DeSantis, and that she will continue to call him when she is president.

    The VP certainly is the second in command of the administration for any administration that has internal cooperation. Ms. Harris offering this aid is not Candidate Harris offering aid, but the Biden administration offering aid, or ideally, the executive branch of the United States offering aid.

    Biden has shit going on at the moment and after the shitshow this summer has taken a less publicly visible role, and VP Harris has stepped up for such things. Thatā€™s not unheard of especially when confidence is shaken in a sitting president.
