Reporter promptly called out after blaming Gov. DeSantis for delayed emergency response to condo collapse
Our objective media.
Hannah Dreier, a national reporter for the Washington Post, suggested that DeSantis blocked emergency responders from acting for one whole day.
“There’s a saying in emergency management: The first 24 hours are the only 24 hours. FEMA was ready to deploy to the condo collapse almost immediately, and included the crisis in its daily briefing, but didn’t get permission from Gov. DeSantis to get on the ground for a full day,” Dreier claimed.
Dreier pointed to a FEMA briefing sheet that said, “There have been no requests for state or FEMA assistance.”
