Former Tampa Bay Occasions veteran journalist Craig Pittman made some insanely wild claims. Considered one of a number of excerpts from Pittman’s delusional fever dream.
What causes “fast intensification”? Hotter-than-usual water within the Gulf of Mexico. The hotter the gulf will get, the stronger the hurricanes.
In different phrases, local weather change. — that time period that our governor appears afraid to say.
TGP beforehand reported on how even the director of the Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Affiliation shut down these exact same speaking factors over 12 hours earlier than Pittman went on his world warming commerce.
Pittman went on to assert that Governor DeSantis, who has a level from Yale, is by some means much less competent to control than the felony unlawful aliens pouring throughout or unsecured Southern Border. The journalist additionally complained that DeSantis’ give attention to sexually infused drag reveals in entrance of kids and pornographic books within the nation’s public colleges was by some means greedy extra of Governor DeSantis’ focus than preparation, response, and rebuild of Florida in Hurricane Ian’s aftermath.
I’m not speaking concerning the ideological take a look at that factors to Miami Beach drag shows as a much bigger menace to the state than a wobbly property insurance industry. I imply that, as garbled as his speeches have been, one factor he has been clear about is that he refuses to do any “left-wing stuff” to cease local weather change.
“What I’ve discovered is, folks once they begin speaking about issues like world warming, they sometimes use that as a pretext to do a bunch of left-wing issues that they’d wish to do anyhow. We’re not doing any left-wing stuff,” DeSantis informed that Oldsmar crowd final 12 months.
Be very cautious of individuals attempting to smuggle of their ideology,” he mentioned, as if local weather science is a few form of insidious gateway to pot-smoking and mixed bathing. “They are saying they assist our shoreline, or they are saying they assist, you realize, some, you realize, distinction, our water, surroundings. And perhaps they do, however they’re additionally attempting to do a variety of different issues.”
(You’d suppose a man with levels from Yale and Harvard Legislation would be capable to converse plain English, wouldn’t you? There could also be Venezuelan refugees in Texas who converse in clearer sentences than our Ivy League-educated governor.)
Alicia Farrant, a outstanding member of Mothers for Liberty who’s working for Orange County Faculty Board, who appeared at the press conference with Governor DeSantis as he signed into law the “Parental Rights in Education Act”, which at present outlaws pornographic materials in Florida public colleges had this to say to the GP about Pittman’s article.
This journalist was bodily faraway from an Orange County Public Faculty Board assembly in October of 2021 for studying aloud segments from one of many many filthy porn books infesting our public colleges throughout the US.
“Whereas hundreds of us right here in Florida have simply endured a catastrophic hurricane, my ideas and prayers exit to everybody within the path of the storm. Though there might be a lot work forward to revive our communities, Floridians know tips on how to stick collectively and assist one another in instances of want. I’m grateful for Governor DeSantis who has proven unimaginable management throughout this hurricane. We will, and can, defend our youngsters in public colleges and are available collectively to assist one another throughout instances of tragedy. To suppose we are able to solely do one or the opposite is shameful,” Farrant informed this GP journalist.
Florida based mostly impartial journalist Chris Nelson documented right down to the quantity Governor DeSantis’ press conferences, briefings, and technique periods in response to the leftwing Twittershpere getting #DeathSantis to trend as soon as once more attempting accountable the Florida Governor for the acts of Mom Nature.

Nelson additionally highlighted how America First mega-donor and grocer Alfie Oakes had opened up his important restaurant and retailer location within the Southwest Florida metropolis fo Naples, Florida to feed these in want.

Orange County Faculty Board candidate Alicia Farrant, journalist Chris Nelson, and entrepreneur Alfie Oakes aren’t the one sane minded Floridian’s rising to the event in giving Governor DeSantis due credit score for his dealing with of Hurricane Ian.

Governor DeSantis’ management throughout this catastrophe motivated many voters to take motion in serving to Floridians effected by Hurricane Ian. It is a nice instance of the general public & personal partnerships that exist in these attempting instances within the Free State of Florida, mentioned in a response through textual content.
To be honest, leftwing Florida Phoenix journalist Craig Pittman isn’t the primary reporter to brazenly blame the acts of Mom Nature on folks like Trump or DeSantis. Ken Storey, a journalist for the choice publication Orlando Weekly, claimed Texans “deserved” Hurricane Harvey’s wrath as a result of the state voted for President Donald J. Trump within the 2016 elections.

Whereas it isn’t uncommon for progressive local weather change fanatics accountable each drawback on the earth on “world warming,” they’ve gotten much more aggressive of their assertions since Joe Biden has begun occupying the White Home.
Karen Inexperienced, the Vice Chair of the Florida Democrat Celebration, who’s working for United States Congress in Florida’s seventh congressional district which was closely affected by Hurricane Ian, just lately claimed that local weather change was accountable for each gun violence in America AND unlawful immigration.
On September twenty third, Inexperienced shared a press launch on Twitter the place she acknowledged that her Republican opponent (embellished fight veteran Cory Mills), was an extremist, earlier than claiming that the surge of unlawful immigrants on the Southern Border have been a results of local weather change, COVID, lax US gun legal guidelines.
A number of issues trigger the border surge: lingering Covid disruptions, local weather change results, unfastened US gun legal guidelines that gas drug wars, & migrant waves from Nicaragua, Venezuela, & Cuba (see under).👇I am glad we’re not separating migrant children & mother and father. https://t.co/jBahvHpo8j

Mills responded by calling out her shaky logic on these points. Inexperienced doubled down. It is usually necessary to notice that Greene thinks Governor Ron Desantis defending kids from porn and sexualization in public colleges is akin to slavery, which this GP journalist uncovered final month.
For anybody, particularly a journalist with over 30 years expertise masking Florida politics to recommend Governor DeSantis is by some means “pro-hurricane” is disgusting and wicked. Progressives have created a behavior of blaming all of the ills of the world and their political opponents on local weather change. While you don’t agree with them, you might be labeled a science denier and literal assassin. Maybe folks like Mr. Pittman ought to be extra targeted on their very own psychological and religious well being, as no secure particular person would make such claims or behave on this means.
Floridians are fortunate to have such a responsive, ready, and decisive Governor throughout this tragedy. And thru main by instance, alongside tens of hundreds of first responders and linemen, Governor DeSantis has clearly impressed the acts of charity and compassion we’re seeing on social media as fellow residents assist each other,” Mills informed us on the cellphone.
Whereas the harm from Hurricane Ian remains to be being assessed, it’s insane for anybody to assert that Governor DeSantis didn’t correctly get Floridians prepared for the storm. Previous that, the leftwing’s meltdown over Hurricane Ian demonstrates their willingness to be full rubbish people to attain low cost political factors.
Heck, even Florida’s First Girl Casey DeSantis has raised over $1.5m after being tasked with dealing with the volunteer efforts for Volunteer Florida, it’s a household affair of decisive motion or the folks of Florida.
