He is "accused" of piling debris behind his podium but there's literally video evidence of exactly that happening.

Typically when you're clearing debris, you pile into one central location so it can get loaded into trucks and hauled off. I'm sure ole Meat Ball Ron wanted a dramatic backdrop. More than one thing can be true.
This is most likely. It would've been easier to simply setup the stage where they were already collecting the debris to be hauled away.
After watching, I sure hope the simplest explanation is true and no resources were being wasted. Not one single extra step taken for any photo ops.
I hope.
I take it all back. They're for sure just hucking shit out the back of the truck to make a big dumb pile for shit stain to wack off in front of.

I just...I don't...
My only real hope for this world is that everyone will get what they deserve.
Yeah i was with you until i saw the debris right next to a perfectly clear road where you would normally not ever leave a like of debris lol
That can't be true because if it was, they'd have carted Ronnie off too.
Well maybe someone just happened to be moving it out of the way from somewhere else, and just happened to decide that right there was a perfect spot??? /s lol
Man, I wish that sweetening photo ops for political gain was the worst ting about Ron DeSantis.
Honestly, I don't even feel it's that bad to do. Is it a naturally occurring pile, no, but unless he's taking perfectly good stuff from unscathed buildings, it's still hurricane debris. The only problem in my eyes is that the effort spent piling debris could have been used to actually restore the location. So, I'm with the folks who say he should have found a place they were already piling stuff as part of the cleanup mission.
When you're so lazy you can't just find a pile of debris in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane...
Playing devils advocate here. Most of the actual piles were in front of people's homes. Maybe they didn't what to film people's personal property.
As someone in the area who has seen the aftermath of both storms first hand, the scene they created here doesn't really do justice to the actual destruction that was present there.
I'm guessing there was a ruined business or two he could have stood in front of.
That pile of debris was actually his administration
