DeSantis Smacks Back At Trump on Glenn Beck Show: ‘He Turned Over The Country to Fauci’
Mediaite ^ | May 25, 2023 | Candice Ortiz

Posted on 05/25/2023 3:41:14 PM PDT by Trump20162020

In a phone interview with radio host Glenn Beck for the Thursday edition of The Glenn Beck Program, DeSantis finally punched back against those claims. A clip from their exchange began circulating Twitter via Citizen Free Press.

“I think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people’s lives,” DeSantis said. “In Florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left, even a lot of Republicans, had schools open, preserved businesses.”

If that’s the best DeSantos has to offer it’s going to be a short primary.

Yeah, he’s got a point. Trump appointed and/or RETAINED so many bad people.

Fixed

I’m not a Never Trumper. I’ll vote for him in the primary and the general. But it amazes me that y’all think it’s perfectly fine for Trump to constantly trash RDS and get the vapors when DeSantis fires back.

More fighting with this Trump vs. DeSantis situation.

Now we are going to fight about who did what when during the covid crisis.

Now we are going to judge with 20/20 hindsight who did what when and who shouldn’t have done what they did during covid.

Very True…the question is did he learn anything useful from his initial naivety? Will he start his second term with an immediate nuke from orbit?

During Covid, RD wouldn’t have had to worry his little head about any of this stuff if Trump hadn’t ushered him in to the governorship. He’d just have been another doofus lawyer or small-time pol without The Donald.

The guy said he would not run and fulfill his term as governor. Now he is running, who is fooling whom?

If Ron did what was done in South Dakota he could pick on Trump. But he didn’t. He needs to get a new schtick.

Hey Ron, the Ukraine war, do you support it? Do you support Biden’s war?

Like desanctomonious didn’t. He shutdown the beaches for God’s sake.

Dr. Fauci approves this message.

I literally just showed you the Executive Order word for word from the State Website and you still continue on. There were Counties that shut beaches down but DeSantis did not do that. I live in the Panhandle and going to the beach was the one thing we did alot of because everything else was closed.

Actually, Trump put Mike Pence in charge of covid. Try to get your facts straight.

I assume Trump kept Fauci because Trump was afraid of the media backlash if he fired Fauci.

You are full of crap. I live in Florida and desanctomonious did shut them down.

Right, and Florida beaches were the first to open in the country.

Good. It’s about time someone called Trump out on this.

Trump was trotting Fauci out on that stage every day, while the conservative media was already all over the “gain of function” story. This was the time period I started questioning WTF was Trump doing.

To this day, Trump has never even mentioned the words “gain of function.” And he probably never will.
