DeSantis' white go-go boots aren't the problem. It's his relentless politicking amid Ian's rubble

No, I don’t care if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shows up to a disaster wearing white boots evocative of the go-go dancer footwear I adored in junior high school, now sold online as a Halloween costume.

To be sure, knee-high boots over tight jeans was a weird choice of attire for a homophobic-talking man who has gone drag queen-hunting in Miami.

But, hey, at least DeSantis’ tacky Florida man fashion sense, while on a Monday visit to DeSoto County, brought a rare moment of comic relief to the devastation left along Hurricane Ian’s path.

No, here’s what I strongly object to: DeSantis’ ill-conceived choice of words — before the hurricane made landfall and now during his daily press conferences and photo-ops — that are more like a campaign than they are informational.

1. At least Hunter boots look less silly.

2. Those boots raise a lot of questions in my mind.

Why?

What advantage did he think they would bring him over the uniform he was entitled to wear as the state's head of Emergency Management? (Abbott loves that one.)

Was he trying to signal something?

If so, to whom?

To be sure, knee-high boots over tight jeans was a weird choice of attire for a homophobic-talking man who has gone drag queen-hunting in Miami.

Sure liked the editorial writer's snark.
