Dana Loesch thought a question from a CNN reporter to Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about a Florida county refusing to issue mandatory evacuations until the day before Hurricane Ian made landfall was unwarranted, going as far to say the media was attempting to give the Governor his “Hurricane Katrina moment”.

“That is the big push from the left, through the media, and the media is hitting first, so I’m anticipating (California Governor Gavin) Newsom and others to follow as soon as they think that media has seeded the ground enough to make such an accusation towards DeSantis,” Loesch said.

“This is what’s weird. The media is trying to create a Hurricane Katrina narrative around Ron DeSantis so they can kneecap him and not only reduce the enthusiasm around him Republican voters have around him as we go into the midterms but also hurt him ahead of any potential 2024 Presidential run,” The Dana Show host posited.

“Do you remember — let’s go back to Hurricane Katrina for a moment — when the media was not going after a Governor but they were blaming George Bush for the actions of the Governor? So if a Democrat is in the White House — and they’re President — then it’s ok to criticize the Governor. But if it’s a Republican President in the White House then it’s the President not the Governor (who receives blame)?”

Loesch concluded by saying the media is trying to damage DeSantis for actions made by other election officials, noting Lee County is roughly 130 miles south of where the storm was forecasted to make landfall.

A report from John Solomon’s JustTheNews.com claims a federal agency limited the reach of “thousands” of web URLs and “millions” of social media posts during the 2020 Presidential Campaign, and the list includes conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who discussed being on the “enemies list” Monday.

“Essentially we have a third party — allegedly — that exists to censor people that they don’t like, such as James Woods, Gateway Pundit, Donald Trump Jr., Tom Fenton, Jack Posobiec, myself, Mark Levin, James O’Keefe, Rick Grenell, Breitbart News, Sean Hannity,” The Charlie Kirk Show host said. “So the federal government pays this outside company to then censor voices they don’t like.”

Solomon joined Kirk to discuss the matter, saying the “breadth of censorship is absolutely jaw-dropping. They targeted 4,900 URLs, 20 U.S. news sites, 29 famous influencers, yourself included, and the impact of all that censorship is an estimated — in their own report, this is the coalition’s own report — to be 22 million tweets. A massive amount of reach throttling and censorship. Unheard of in American history.”

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told Solomon’s television show she is considering legal action, saying “I’ve already talked to an attorney…and I’m owed damages”. Her Twitter account was permanently suspended in January for continued COVID-19 misinformation.
