During \u200ban appearance on Fox News, DeSantis \u200bcriticized Harris for accusing him of selfishness \u200band political gamesmanship during a crisis situation. Harris had claimed that the governor was \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-governor-temporarily-steps-down-leaving-republican-official-to-fill-the-void\/\" title=\"Arizona Governor temporarily steps aside, allowing Republican official to take charge.\">playing political\u2063 games<\/a> at a time when people\u200c needed support. <\/p>\n<p>In response, DeSantis called Harris\u2019s remarks \u201cdelusional\u201d and stated that she had not contributed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-passes-short-term-funding-bill-as-lawmakers-try-to-avoid-a-government-shutdown\/\" title=\"Senate Passes Short-Term Funding Bill As Lawmakers Try To Avoid A Government Shutdown\">hurricane relief efforts<\/a> during her time in \u200coffice. He emphasized that his \u200cfocus was \u200bon helping the people \u200dof Florida and accused Harris of politicizing the crisis for her own benefit. The article concludes by \u200basserting that \u200cHarris&#8217;s\u200b claims about DeSantis&#8217;s alleged selfishness reflect her own behavior rather than reality, suggesting \u2062she only reached out due to her presidential\u200c aspirations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Selfish people have a way of projecting their own selfishness onto others.<\/p>\n<p>When faced with an imminent crisis, of course, one cannot help but feel a righteous indignation that gives no quarter to that kind of projection.<\/p>\n<p>Monday on Fox News&rsquo; &ldquo;Hannity,&rdquo; Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida called Vice President Kamala Harris &ldquo;delusional&rdquo; after she accused the governor of selfishness and &ldquo;political gamesmanship&rdquo; ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hurricane-milton-set-explosively-intensify-mandatory-evacuations-underway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hurricane Milton&rsquo;s<\/a> potentially catastrophic expected landfall in western Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Near the beginning of the segment, host Sean Hannity played a clip of Harris speaking to reporters.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about an NBC report that DeSantis had ignored her phone calls in advance of the hurricane, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-says-her-biggest-failure-as-vp-is-not-getting-out-of-dc-more\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris Says Her \u2018Biggest Failure\u2019 As VP Is Not Getting \u2018Out Of DC More\u2019\">vice president responded<\/a> with her usual blend of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jd-vance-urges-americans--26-second-clip-kamala-harris-60-minutes-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rhetorical drivel<\/a> and self-serving nonsense.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;People are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games with this moment, in these crisis situations &mdash; these are the height of emergency situations &mdash; is just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first,&rdquo; Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>As one might expect, DeSantis had no tolerance for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that every Democratic plan has backfired in Trump&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\">vice president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s obvious gaslighting.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional,&rdquo; the governor replied.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She has no role in this. In fact, she&rsquo;s been vice president for three-and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-trump-aide-paul-manafort-cant-be-prosecuted-in-new-york-following-pardon-court-rules\/\" title=\"Ex-Trump Aide Paul Manafort Can\u2019t Be Prosecuted in New York Following Pardon, Court Rules\">-a-half years<\/a>. I&rsquo;ve dealt with a number of storms under this administration. She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts. And so what I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Hannity recognized the significance of the governor&rsquo;s statement that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hurricane-helene-ruins-lives-kamala-harris-interview-sex-talk-podcast-speak-abortion-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris<\/a> had &ldquo;never contributed anything&rdquo; to earlier hurricane relief efforts. Thus, the host twice interrupted to ask if the vice president had ever called DeSantis in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No,&rdquo; the governor responded. &ldquo;She has no role in this process.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis then explained that, when it came to storm relief, he had no trouble dealing with former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/60k-looks-like-aerial-video-shows-stunning-shot-crowd-butler-trump-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>, and he has none now dealing with President Joe Biden. Only Harris has politicized a storm for the sake of her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have time for political games,&rdquo; the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She is being selfish by trying to blunder into this when we&rsquo;re working just fine,&rdquo; he later added.<\/p>\n<p>Readers may view the entire interview in the YouTube video below. DeSantis&rsquo;s relevant comments began around the 3:30 mark.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lgJxejyfaAo?si=cFmdBnozyqEhCJVT\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The important question here has nothing to do with who cares &mdash; or cares more &mdash; about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-samaritan-pilot-sounds-alarm-forced-leave-helene-victim-mountain-threat-arrest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hurricane victims<\/a>. We may speculate, of course, based on behavior, but we cannot read others&rsquo; hearts.<\/p>\n<p>What matters is the question of selfishness, and on that point there should be no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>First, consider DeSantis&rsquo;s behavior during the interview. He derived no obvious political advantage from acknowledging Biden&rsquo;s helpfulness. Thus, the governor had no reason to make the acknowledgment unless it was true.<\/p>\n<p>Then, ask how Harris has behaved in the past under similar circumstances. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-ron-desantis-announces-florida-will-launch-investigation-trump-assassination-attempt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeSantis<\/a> told the truth about the vice president never before calling him prior to a hurricane &mdash; and he told the truth about Biden even though it painted a political opponent in a favorable light, which means that we have reason to suspect the governor of honesty &mdash; then one can reach no conclusion besides the most obvious and damning one.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Harris only called DeSantis this time because she hoped it would look good for her presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, everything she said about the governor&rsquo;s selfishness amounted to pure projection.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

In times of crisis, this can lead to strong feelings of indignation against such projections. On Monday&#8217;s episode of Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Hannity,&#8221; Florida Governor Ron DeSantis labeled Vice President Kamala Harris as &#8220;delusional&#8221; after she accused him of being selfish and engaging in &#8220;political gamesmanship&#8221; ahead of Hurricane Milton&#8217;s expected landfall in western Florida. During the segment, host Sean Hannity played a clip where Harris responded to an NBC report claiming DeSantis ignored her calls before the hurricane, delivering her usual mix of rhetoric and self-serving statements. Harris stated that people urgently need support and criticized political maneuvering during emergencies as irresponsible and selfish, suggesting it detracts from fulfilling one&#8217;s duty to prioritize the public. DeSantis rejected her claims, asserting that his focus on Floridians is not selfish but rather a commitment to his responsibilities. He pointed out that Harris has not contributed to past storm relief efforts during her time as vice president and emphasized that he has successfully worked with both former President Trump and current President Biden on disaster response without political interference from her. Ultimately, he concluded that Harris\u2019s actions were politically motivated rather than genuinely concerned for hurricane victims, indicating that her accusations were merely projection of her own behavior onto him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2352027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DeSantis-v-Harris.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[42246,32438,35285],"class_list":["post-2352026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-hurricane-recovery","tag-kamala-harris","tag-ron-desantis"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DeSantis-v-Harris.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2352027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
