  1. Yeah woke hurricanes 🌀 hahahaha

  2. Florida… "We can't fix our problems because wokey wokeness of woke wokers." 🤦‍♂

  3. Cherry-picking has not woke.

  4. I know… let's blame it on "woke." Maybe it's time DeathDeSantis wakes up.

  5. The Governor actually sent a grown man on the news to blame it on “woke”. JFC

  6. Apparently global warming is ‘woke’ 😂😂😂

  7. That's what Florida gets for voting for Ron. Be careful what you wish for. He's running that state to the ground.

  8. Republican paradise seems to be falling apart, food rotting in the fields, empty constructions sites, no insurances because of climate change. but of course its all woke! hahahaha these morons!

  9. This is the circus you get when you vote corrupt corporate bend over clowns 🤡

  10. Missed the golden opportunity to ask what makes insurance companies woke.

  11. What a fool. It’s simple math not politics. Risk thresholds need to make financial sense. Clearly this guy is a product of FL public school…absolutely devoid of critical thinking 😂

  12. State farm is notorious for fraudulently denying claims and paying off inspectors. I wouldn't be happy about state farm staying in Florida.

  13. It's all those Woke hurricanes hitting your state.

  14. That's why insurance is a scam. It's meant to help people, but the company's goals are not. Their goal is to make as much money as possible.

  15. The sun rises from the left because it is woke too! Jesus died to save us from the woke as well! Everything bad is because of the woke! Save us from the woke!

  16. Blame it on woke? DeSantis hired this person? What a lunatic!

  17. This man’s response is exactly the reason I just left Florida for good. The fact that he had the balls to say that on camera to a huge media outlet underscores how insane and brainwashed these people in power are. The state government and laws are a complete joke.

  18. You have OPTIONS. Leave the state. Pay your mom’s insurance. We live in a FREE country. I could’ve moved to Florida CHEAP 20 years ago from the Mid Atlantic, but since I know arithmetic, I calculated EXACTLY what’s happening in Florida 20 years ago that scientists were publishing. I ecided to stay in the Mid Atlantic and pay my state taxes. In addition, I decided to keep working until at least 70 to take my Social Security at max, save money for retirement, and NOT DEPEND SO MUCH on political BS such as “woke insurance” and vote against my own interest. Finally, I also decided “in old age” NOT TO LIVE IN A HURRICANE ALLEY IN RETIREMENT! You are on a FIXED INCOME living around sink holes and surround by a HOT OCEAN calling out for hurricanes as you drive you 20 MPG car and use a lot of AC.

  19. Didn’t realize hurricanes were woke. Learn something new every day.

  20. Woke? Wake up to reality. Florida has been taking the brunt of climate change in recent years and now the surrounding ocean is 100 degrees. More disaster to come. Out of state investors – prepare yourselves for the real reason insurance companies are leaving Florida, you're about to get a wake up call.

  21. Vote for DeSantis and then act shocked that this happens?

  22. My insurance has been 500 times more than the guy with the Cadillac that rear ended me. 500 times more than the person that t boned me. They dont pay! My insurance has been 50p x more than people with multiple dwis. I'm tired of paying 500 percent more, for people that would deny one public shore access. With their saving, they blocked public access, and claimed it for themselves. Any encroachment on a public right of way is two felonies.

  23. That's what the government wanted

  24. We must be realistic our Current Governor RON DESANTIS must step down he is NOT doing anything for the citizens of FLORIDA!!!! NO MORE Delay. There no solutions from his administration. 💙🇺🇸⚖️

  25. So insurance companies are leaving Florida because Florida is too woke?
