We cats are hearing rumors that the MAGA crowd is furious with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Kind of startling, since DeSantis is supposed to be Trump 2.0 and a 2024 front-runner. But he allowed himself to appear with President Biden on Thursday to discuss federal and state cooperation in the horrific Surfside condo collapse. Horrors!
And you do know what happens to Republican office holders who meet with Democratic ones in the interest of their states, right? They get kneecapped by their own kind.
Then-New Jersey Governor Chris Christie cordially received then-President Barack Obama to talk about recovery from Super Storm Sandy in 2012. Obama shook Christie's hand and gave him a pat on the arm. Republicans lost their minds.
In 2009, former Florida Governor Charlie Crist welcomed Obama to a Fort Myers town hall after the previous year's financial meltdown. Crist believed that the stimulus package, then under negotiation in Congress, would help his state. The GOP practically ran him out of the party. (Charlie's a Democratic Congressman now.)
The Christie and Crist brouhahas were the first thing we thought of when we saw Joe Biden give DeSantis a friendly, Obama-like pat the other day. Ooooh, Ron, watch out — you're a marked man in MAGA world! (P.S. Betcha Biden did it on purpose.) We cats PURR.
