People are now calling the Florida Governor "DeSaster" instead of DeSantis. And that's because of both his disastrous failure as a Governor and as a Presidential candidate.
While Ron DeSantis declares a 'war on the woke' in one of the most humiliating presidential runs in history, his state of Florida just suffered another devastating blow.
Farmers Insurance announced they are leaving Florida, making them the 4th insurer to leave the Florida market this year, reports the Tampa Bay Times.
Homeowners in the state are paying more than ever for insurance as they face an unprecedented crisis.
Faux News is heavily promoting DeSantis but now the Murdoch's see him as a loser.

A flood of insurance companies fleeing Florida could cost the GOP the state in the next election, a former Trump official warned Tuesday.
Michael Caputo, the assistant secretary of public affairs under Trump, was reacting to Farmers Insurance's announcement earlier in the day that it was dropping all home and auto insurance policies in the state and leaving, Newsweek reported.
The decision was driven by business costs that are forced up by hurricane rebuilding and recovery, the company said. It’s the fourth insurance firm to pull out of the Florida market in the past year.
"I keep saying hurricane insurance costs are a vital issue in Florida – a truly fundamental kitchen table concern,” Caputo said in a tweet.
"It changes votes, for real. Florida is a must-win battleground for the GOP nomination – will hurricane insurance decide it?"
Farmers’ decision is expected to affect 100,000 homeowners.
Florida homeowners already pay the highest premiums in the U.S., Newsweek reported.
"This business decision was necessary to effectively manage risk exposure," Farmers said in a statement issued Newsweek in a statement.
Political consultant Jay Townsend agreed with Caputo’s warning.
"As insurance costs rise, and strain the household budgets of working-class people, they soon start looking for the culprit," he told Newsweek.
"Inevitably, they will identify the Governor as one of them. And even if he did nothing wrong, they'll ask why he didn't do something to stop it."
Already the anger was being directed at DeSantis and other state officials.
"Everyone who has Citizens Insurance is at risk of losing everything this Hurricane season. What are you and your boss [Florida Governor] Ron DeSantis doing about it since he's never here anymore and he's running for President?" far-right activist Laura Loomer tweeted at the state’s Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, a Republican.

Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who told fellow CNN host Caitlan Collins on Monday night that being a white nationalist doesn't necessarily make someone a racist.
In analyzing Tuberville's comments, Tapper said that Alabama's senior senator "seems to be parsing the difference between people who are abject racists like members of the Klu Klux Klan and people who are merely white nationalist who believe in the supremacy of white people," which Tapper described as "a distinction without a difference."
The CNN host noted, however, that Tuberville has his own history of deploying racist dog whistles on the campaign trail.
"His comments make more sense when you consider what he said in October at a campaign rally, the most abjectly racist thing I've heard from a U.S. senator in decades," he said. "I'm quoting here, he said... 'Democrats,' quote, 'want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that.'"
Tapper argued that this was "nakedly racist" because it framed all Black Americans as "the people that do the crime" since they would be the ones receiving any hypothetical reparations for slavery.
"I think there are serious questions about his views when it comes to matters of race and white supremacy," Tapper concluded.
