Ron DeSantis \u2063(R-FL)\u2064 surveyed the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia in \u200cYankeetown, Florida, he had a \u2064strong message for those attributing the devastation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-i-got-a-covid-test-four-times-in-one-day-two-came-back-negative-two-came-back-positive-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Elon Musk: I Got A COVID Test Four Times In One Day. \u2018Two Came Back Negative, Two Came Back Positive.\u2019 | The Daily Wire\">climate change<\/a>: It&#8217;s a &#8220;lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During \u200dhis tour on Sunday, DeSantis was questioned about President Joe Biden&#8217;s recent statements linking climate change\u200c to \u2063natural disasters like Idalia, \u200cwhich struck Florida as \u2062a Category 3 hurricane.<\/p>\n<h3>Historical \u200dPerspective<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think if you look, there was a\u200c storm that followed almost the \u2062exact path in 1896. It had 125-mile-an-hour \u2062winds, just like this one,&#8221;\u2063 DeSantis\u2063 stated, referring \u200cto another destructive hurricane that hit \u2064the Sunshine State.\u2064 &#8220;If you examine Florida&#8217;s history, the most \u200bpowerful hurricane we&#8217;ve ever experienced \u2063is the Labor Day hurricane\u200d of 1935, \u200dwith sustained\u200d winds of 185 miles per hour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Championing a \u200d&#8221;False&#8221; Ideology<\/h3>\n<p>Expanding\u200b on his viewpoint, DeSantis argued\u200b that those who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-nunes-democrats-create-wildfires-and-blame-climate-change\/\" title=\"Rep. Nunes: Democrats create wildfires and blame climate change\">blame climate change<\/a> for natural disasters \u2063are promoting a misguided ideology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The notion that hurricanes\u200c are something \u200dnew is simply false. We must refrain from politicizing the \u2062weather and natural disasters,&#8221;\u200b DeSantis emphasized. &#8220;Sometimes,\u200b people\u200d need \u200bto take a step\u200c back\u2064 and gain some perspective. But the idea \u200cthat \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-slams-claim-that-climate-change-is-responsible-for-idalia\/\" title=\"DeSantis rejects climate change blame for Idalia.\">adopting extreme left-wing policies<\/a> \u2063at\u2064 the federal level will prevent hurricanes is a lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s wrong \u2062to exploit the suffering of\u200b others by using different\u2064 types of \u2063storms as a\u200c pretext to advance personal agendas,&#8221; DeSantis added. &#8220;And we won&#8217;t allow that in \u200bthe state of Florida.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE \u200cTO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis&#8217; Commitment to Florida<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2063governor canceled several of his\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tree-falls-on-desantis-home-during-hurricane-idalia\/\" title=\"DeSantis' home hit by tree during Hurricane Idalia.\">presidential campaign events<\/a> to return home\u2063 and assist Floridians in\u200b recovering from Idalia.\u200c While holding a press conference, \u2062a 100-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/100-year-old-oak-tree-falls-on-florida-governors-mansion\/\" title=\"Ancient oak tree topples Florida Governor's mansion.\">oak tree fell<\/a> on the grounds \u200cof the governor&#8217;s mansion in Tallahassee, \u200dFlorida.
