Donald Trump blasts Desantis for his insurance company ‘bailout’ legislation

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump blasted Florida Gov. Ron Desantis for wanting to give insurance companies widespread protections from lawsuits, calling it “the worst Insurance Scam in the entire Country!”

Taking to Truth Social just after midnight Thursday, Trump said Floridians are getting “crushed” by their insurance companies.

“Ron Desanctimonious is delivering the biggest insurance company BAILOUT to Globalist Insurance Companies, IN HISTORY,” Trump wrote. “He’s also crushed Florida homeowners whose houses were destroyed in the Hurricane — They’re getting pennies on the dollar.”

Desantis has supported House Bill 837, one of the priorities of House Speaker Paul Renner, R-palm Coast, and the companion Senate Bill 236. That legislation would make it harder for Floridians to sue their insurance companies. The bills are being fast-tracked through the Legislature this year.

CALIFORNIA COUNTY OFFERS TOP JOB TO SECESSIONIST LEADER

The Shasta County Board of Supervisors has offered the job of running the dayto-day-operations of its government to a top figure in the New California movement pushing to split California into two states.

In an unusual news release, county officials announced that “a majority of the board” had made a “preliminary job offer” to Chriss Street, vice president of New California and a former treasurer of Orange County, to be the county’s chief executive officer.

Proponents of New California, formed in 2018, maintain that old California has become ungovernable and seek to gather much of the rural parts of California, along with San Diego and Orange counties, and form a 51st state.

Street cannot be formally offered the job until the board votes March 28 following a completed background check. He did not respond to calls requesting comment. But some board critics questioned how the county could hire a leader who doesn’t believe in California.
