In an interview on Fox News’s Special Report, host Bret Baier asked the Florida governor about President Joe Biden and federal officials’ comments regarding hurricane recovery resources and his thoughts on the allegations of “misinformation” being spread about FEMA.

“Wondering what you feel about this focus on ‘misinformation’ and the comments about it. I know you heard [Fox News reporter] Jacqui Heinrich’s piece about the president saying, ‘It’s unpatriotic, it’s un-American.’ And he said former president Trump was behind that,” Baier posed to DeSantis.

The Florida governor shared a blunt response about the politicizing of the recent hurricanes.

“So, here’s what I would say. My job is to manage this process and lead the state through. I am using every lever at my disposal, including federal government resources. I have martialed all the agencies in the state government, and we’re working like never before to supplement our local communities. I have got to get the job done. And that’s what I’m focused on,” DeSantis said.

“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,” he added.

Social media users reacted to DeSantis’s comments.

“WHAT A BOSS!!!” one social media user said.

“Now that’s leadership,” another person said.

Baier also asked DeSantis if Vice President 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,” he said, pushing back on the alleged dust-up that he was not returning her calls.

Harris accused DeSantis earlier this week of politicizing the hurricane relief response by not calling her back, but the governor insisted she previously had “no role” in helping with his state’s hurricane response.

“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.”
