Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing accusations of faking a debris backdrop for a press event regarding Hurricane Milton recovery efforts.
A clip posted online on Sunday shows pieces of debris being added to a pile behind the podium where DeSantis was set to make his address in Treasure Island. It is unclear whether the governor set up in front of an existing pile or why the debris was being moved.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the governor had been caught “adding debris behind [the] podium” before his news conference.
“Ron has no shame—he’s spent weeks accusing everyone else of politicizing this disaster while ordering workers to window dress his press conference,” Fried said.
He is “accused” of piling debris behind his podium but there’s literally video evidence of exactly that happening.
Typically when you’re clearing debris, you pile into one central location so it can get loaded into trucks and hauled off. I’m sure ole Meat Ball Ron wanted a dramatic backdrop. More than one thing can be true.
This is most likely. It would’ve been easier to simply setup the stage where they were already collecting the debris to be hauled away.
After watching, I sure hope the simplest explanation is true and no resources were being wasted. Not one single extra step taken for any photo ops.
I hope.
I take it all back. They’re for sure just hucking shit out the back of the truck to make a big dumb pile for shit stain to wack off in front of.

I just…I don’t…
My only real hope for this world is that everyone will get what they deserve.
Yeah i was with you until i saw the debris right next to a perfectly clear road where you would normally not ever leave a like of debris lol
That can’t be true because if it was, they’d have carted Ronnie off too.
Well maybe someone just happened to be moving it out of the way from somewhere else, and just happened to decide that right there was a perfect spot??? /s lol
