Chuck Schumer knocks Florida Gov. DeSantis, says his dunk on media was 'premature'
Fox News ^ | May 21 2020 | Sam Dorman

Posted on 05/21/2020 12:45:34 PM PDT by knighthawk

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke too soon when he criticized the media's dire predictions about his reopening strategy, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued on Thursday.

"What he’s saying is premature," Schumer told "The View." "Most of the experts say if this is going to come back because we moved too soon, it will take several months before that happens — July, August, September, October. And to compare New York and Florida is sort of like apples and oranges."

"We were the hot spot. We had more coronavirus cases than anybody else, and so I think you’ve got to be careful, and you’ve got to listen to the scientists. I don’t think name-calling of anybody is appropriate, but I do think, you know, getting out there and bragging that everything is fine is premature at best and could be dangerous if the disease comes back, and no one knows. We have had no experience with this virus in the past."

Schumer is so stupid IMO he doesn’t know when to shut up. Anymore it’s like he’s got to say something to be relevant, and shoots off his mouth.

And Florida would have had even fewer cases if the people from New York had not fled from Schumer and Cuomo incompetence and came to hide out.

Of course, some of those New York rats who fled to Florida also brought the corona virus with them.

"We were the hot spot. We had more coronavirus cases than anybody else"

Because of Andrew Cuomo, the Granny Killer, already responsible for more than TWICE the number of deaths as 9/11.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The hell you say.

That's true of EVERY city outside of New York. Then why are we being forced to live as if the whole country is one big New York?

A lot of Florida cases were ‘from New York’.

Good point Chuckle. Why are you advocating a one size fits all protocol, then?

New York outright murdered the elderly and they are going to get away with it.
