Charlie Crist’s running mate Karla Hernández probably thought she was being cute by sharing this video of her “helping” a Florida community:
While some wear white rain boots to disrupt Hurricane recovery efforts, I’m not afraid to step up and actually help our communities. pic.twitter.com/sHje6ETY6G

There’s a lot going on here but let’s start with her snarky mischaracterization of the boots she’s referring to, pictured below:
These “white rain boots” are more commonly known by Floridians who live in reality as muck boots, and they’re designed for potentially hazardous conditions. As in, the type of conditions you may find after a hurricane has hit your state.
Speaking of hazardous conditions, who decided it was a good idea to let Karla Hernández on a job site with what appears to be absolutely no personal protection equipment? No safety glasses, no gloves, and not to mention that loose hair looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
OSHA nightmare.

Absolutely.

Thankfully that didn’t happen but the potential was certainly there.
Very unsafe photo op. 2/10. Tie your hair back, put on gloves, and wear eye protection. https://t.co/TVWjD6CFyk

Ooof. That hair getting snatched out by the root will certainly be a disruption. https://t.co/NQIeGZAFK2

I’m not sure how much “help” you’re being. Especially after work stops to rescue you from the myriad things that could go horribly wrong with your lack of PPE & preparation.

Great points. How much help is it when restoration efforts have to grind to a halt because a candidate can’t be bothered to follow basic safety guidelines, all in the name of a photo-op?
If you’re going to mock your political rival over what they wear while they visit and encourage recovering communities after a disaster, maybe take a look in the mirror first:
Wearing your hair down while operating a drill is fantastically stupid and dangerous.
Maybe instead of trying to call out someone else’s safety wear, you could not look like a dumb girl in the process. https://t.co/1gvcqgDTYF— LibertyJ (@LibertyJen) October 12, 2022
Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Literally.
