Gov. DeSantis says He's the Sheriff in Charge in Florida, NOT FEMA

“Now, people have asked me: ‘Is FEMA going to do this?’ Let me be clear in Florida. We run the show. FEMA is not running the show. We will utilize them to support some of the things we’re doing, but you are not going to see FEMA running amok in Florida. I know that’s been out there on the internet. That is not going to happen. I’m the sheriff that’s in charge here. And we will make sure to protect you. Don’t worry about it,”

Baier then asked DeSantis if Kamala Harris would “ever get through” to him on the phone.

“She thinks it should be about her. If I honestly thought that there was something to be gained, I would pick up the phone and call her,” DeSantis said.

“The fact of the matter is she has no role in this process. She is not part of the chain of command. I’m working with President Biden and FEMA and our state and local partners. And we’re getting the job done. She has never been interested in any of the storms we have had in the state of Florida for the entire time as vice president. Now she is out there attacking me,” he said. “I don’t have time for political games. We have a job to do. We have got people’s lives on the line. And that is our sole focus.”
