If it does, then Ron DeSantis will have a lot of explaining to do to his sycophants when he reaches out for federal aid. I hope if that happens, his aid is held up until he reverses his fascist course.

I don't hope that aid is held up. It's going to Floridians in need, many of whom already hate DeSantis. And anyway it would set a terrible precedent for a President to try to punish people living in states where the governor is a political opponent.

On the other hand, I do hope that DeSantis is politically humiliated by the federal aid.

That's what I was driving at. Worded poorly by me.
