Gov. Ron DeSantis made a quick trip to Florida earlier this week to give a mandated speech to the Legislature. But given the tight time frame necessary for his return to Iowa for a town hall event, it’s understandable that the Governor didn’t fully complete his packing.
One major item forgotten, he told contractors in Des Moines, was a coat sufficient to ward off the winter chill in the Hawkeye State.
“I actually do have a winter coat and I forgot it and I left it at home. So the next people that are coming up from Tallahassee, they’re going to bring my winter coat,” DeSantis said.
The Governor added that he may still need more winter clothes.
“I think I looked at the forecast for Monday. I think I’m going to need much more than that. I think I’m going to need the earmuffs and all that other stuff,” DeSantis said.
Though he’s been in “cold weather” before, he said he’d never been in “negative 10 or negative 15” degree Fahrenheit temperatures, so he definitely will have to layer up in the coming days.
Last week in Iowa, as it became clear the weather would get colder, the Governor remarked on how his campaign gear wasn’t suited for it.
During an interview on KFAB Radio’s Morning News with Gary Sadlemyer, the Governor suggested he didn’t have what the host called “actual winter weather clothing” suitable for the closing stretch of the Iowa campaign.
“I mean, I got some jackets, I’ve got like a campaign sweatshirt and I can get a jacket I put over that. But I was in Dallas County the other day and I did an interview outside and I just had a sweatshirt on and I’m like, waiting, they’re like, ‘Oh, we’re going to go to commercial break.’”
DeSantis said he was “just sitting there in front of the camera” when he asked staffers about the thermometer reading.
“They’re like, ’28.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you definitely feel that.’ So we make the best of it,” the Governor said.
On Monday, temperatures will be below zero degrees all day.

He delivered a State of the State, then hopped a plane to Iowa. Have you ever held employment that demanded half of his schedule, AG? Smug articles like this are why the American public at large write you off as the losers who went through high school unacknowledged.

A smug version of this story would mention the likelihood that Rhonda is flat lying about even having an Iowa suitable coat and how any coat that is brought to him by his, ahem, “friends,” will be sourced at a Goodwill in SE Iowa.

Doubt he was unacknowledged in high school. He was a pretty good baseball player and became Captain of the baseball team at Yale. Of course he graduated from Harvard law as well which is no simple task. He was also a USN officer so I am sure many of f his high school classmates remember him and his outstanding accomplishments.

I agree with The Dud. DeSantis was acknowledged every single day in high school, middle school, and elementary school.
People are saying he bullies yelled “Why do you keep hitting yourself in the face Rhonda?” while pummeling his face every day. I’m not sure that story is entirely accurate. Bullies get sick from time to time. There must have a day here and there on which Rhonda did not get beat up.
I wouldn’t even believe what people say about Rhonda being bullied, except Rhonda’s own face and demeanor says it too.

Hey Kali,
I bet it is safe to bet that you were bullied as a kid. Lots of missed lunches as your money was taken from you every day. Poor Kali. Kali probably played no sports in high school unless one considers video games sport.

Are you stalking Gancarski? Getting a little weird with your DeSantis obsession. Almost as bad as your obsession with Nikki.🤣
