As Gov. Ron DeSantis toured the storm damage in Yankeetown, Florida, he had a particular stance for those who blamed climate change for the devastation of Hurricane Idalia: It's a"lie."
NEW: DeSantis scathes blaming climate change for #Idalia, saying the most powerful storm for Florida was in 1935 "I think that the notion that somehow hurricanes are something new, that's just false. And we've got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters. ... I think sometimes people need to take a breath and get a little bit of perspective here. But the notion that somehow if we just adopt, you know, very left-wing policies at the federal level, that somehow we will not have hurricanes, that is a lie," the governor said.
