Obama Yet To Contact Florida Governor In Wake Of Orlando Terrorist Attack

... "fed up" with the administration's attitude ...

Following the nation’s worst mass shooting incident and its worst terrorist attack since 9/11, President Obama has yet to contact Florida Gov. Rick Scott over the tragedy and coordinate on matters of security.

Instead, the administration opted to contact Scott via a White House staffer, which seems to be a break from traditional White House protocol in the wake of state disasters.

Gov. Scott confirmed this in a Fox News interview with Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday, followed by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who expressed her frustration.

“This isn’t about politics right now. This is about Americans,” said Bondi. “I believe he should have reached out to the governor of the state of Florida, and he hasn’t.”

Asked whether she was disappointed in Obama’s decision not to contact state officials, Bondi replied, “Of course we are.”

Both Bondi and Scott have endorsed Donald Trump for president, which may, in part, explain why the president has opted not to reach out.

Obama has no connection to the American people. They are his pawns, ready for sacrifice to further his agenda.

Because the Governor has a Trump sticker on his car.
