Florida’s Governor is telling New Hampshire Republicans that he would have fired the Defense Secretary were he President.
Ron DeSantis was answering a question about Lloyd Austin’s health woes on Wednesday, when he expressed sympathy for the 70-year-old battling with prostate cancer, but suggested the lack of disclosure for the medical episode would have been a dealbreaker in his White House.
“I feel sympathy that he has health issues but for him to not tell the Commander in Chief, if that happened to me as President, I would fire the Secretary of Defense as a result of that,” DeSantis said in Derry.
“This is the chain of command. We have different contingencies that happen. There has got to be accountability,” he added.
President Joe Biden did not fire Austin, of course, and nearly three weeks out from the secretary’s hospitalization, it’s pretty clear he won’t.
DeSantis believes Austin’s non-disclosure reflects poorly on the White House.
“I don’t think it reflects well on him. But what does that say about the President of the United States that no one thought that he needed to know? Or maybe there was no reason, they thought, to let him know that the Secretary of Defense was in the ICU.”
The Governor went on to say Biden “is not in charge,” repeating his previous argument that “the president of the United States is effectively whoever is feeding the teleprompter on a daily basis.”
He said he would be a “new sheriff in town,” and would be “a President that is very disciplined, methodical, strategic about how to use the levers of power to be able to effectively ensure that we govern ourselves in this country because right now the bureaucracy thinks it can do what it wants.”

Make $280 per hour. The hiring procedure is not easy. In any case, a vb02 plethora of tools are at your disposal to support your preferred method of working. Get motivated to post job openings for hundreds of vacancies on job bv10 boards and employment portals.

The difference between Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden is clear. Joe Biden has compassion and cares about the American people and people in general. DeSantis does not. He only feels good when he’s complying to authoritarianism.

I’m surprised he didn’t divorce his wife when she had breast cancer by his rational.

Coming from a guy who’s committed so many fireable offenses. So laughable.

Instead voters gave him another four years to squander.

Austin should have been fired for his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. I do wish him well on his recovery.

And Rhonda should have resigned due to his run that was there for about two years prior to his announcement of his running.
Instead, the Florida state legislature placed Rhonda above the law where he didn’t have to resign.
How do us law abiding peons look from way up there, Rhonda? Make sure you take a good look. It’ll be the last time you ever look down on anybody.

Huh? So DeSantis is partly to blame for the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle? Easy on the bong my friend. So anyone that served during that era is to blame as well. You obviously did not serve.
