In the wake of Hurricane Milton’s devastation, a new controversy has erupted as prominent figures, including NFL players’ wives, have voiced harsh criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of the disaster response in Florida.

Devon Mostert, wife of Miami Dolphins star running back Raheem Mostert, made headlines for a fiery Instagram post where she called Harris “garbage” for her criticism of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, just one day after Milton made landfall. Mostert accused Harris of playing politics while Florida struggled with the hurricane’s aftermath, with over three million residents without power.

In her since-deleted Instagram Story, Devon Mostert shared clips contrasting President Joe Biden praising DeSantis for doing a “great job” with Harris accusing the governor of “playing political games.” Her commentary was sharp, stating, “The math ain’t mathing, sis,” and adding, “They’re sinking their own ship.”

Mostert was particularly incensed by Harris’s claim that it was “irresponsible” for DeSantis to not take her call during the crisis. Mostert’s harsh rebuke concluded with, “She’s garbage. Textbook trash,” referencing Harris’s infamous tendency for vague political rhetoric like, “we can be unburdened by what has been.”

Devon Mostert wasn’t alone in her discontent. Annah Tagovailoa, wife of Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, shared a post from conservative influencer Benny Johnson, which showed former President Donald Trump providing accommodations to first responders at his Trump Doral Miami resort during the hurricanes. The post was a clear jab at the Biden-Harris administration’s perceived lack of tangible support.

This backlash comes at a critical time for the administration, as it faces mounting accusations of mishandling disaster relief efforts in Florida following both Hurricane Helene and now Milton. The administration has been scrambling to address these concerns, particularly over FEMA’s response.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell defended the agency’s efforts, stating that just because people may not see officials in FEMA shirts doesn’t mean federal workers aren’t on the ground. Criswell pushed back against former President Trump’s claims that the administration was shortchanging victims, calling his accusations “completely false.”

Despite these defenses, Harris’s return to the storm-ravaged areas has done little to quell the criticism. She cut short a campaign swing through California to appear on-site, but her actions are being framed as too little, too late by critics like Trump and commentator Glenn Beck, who accuse her of providing weak support or even obstructing unofficial rescue efforts.
