“I will not, and you can go f*** yourself,” DeSantis said before hanging up.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Wednesday did not mince words on a congested conference call with Biden and federal health authorities who are seeking to prohibit domestic travel to and from the Sunshine State. DeSantis and Biden exchanged salvos of biting barbs after the criminal president said the federal government had authority to “restrict movement” of the people.

DeSantis’s initial reply was brief and blunt: “I will not comply,” he said, and then cited the CDC’s own statistics showing a nationwide decline in active Covid-19 cases.
Florida had arrested the spread of Covid-19, DeSantis argued, and accused Biden of targeting Republican states that supported Donald Trump.

“C’mon, man, Florida needs our help, and you need vaccines, which are hard to come by, isn’t that right, Dr. Fauci,” Biden said.
The “Deep State” doctor replied in the affirmative, telling DeSantis that he expects the prevalence of the UK variant to double or triple every week to 10 days.
“Governor, do you want to be responsible for reinfecting the nation? Truth is, we don’t even know how effective current vaccines are against the UK strain.”
DeSantis told Dr. Fauci he trusted his own state health authorities over financially incentivized federal officials.
“How much do you stand to earn from these vaccines, Dr. Fauci? And, Joe, if you continue with this course of action, I will authorize the state National Guard to protect the movement of Floridians,” DeSantis said.
“Address me as Mr. President or President Biden,” Biden said.
“I will not, and you can go f*** yourself,” DeSantis said before hanging up.

It should become a trend just to refer to the occupant as “Joe” or, if that seems vaguely friendly, just always call him “Joe the Stealer”.
He deserves no respect and his authority should not be recognized. Mao said, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”. Let Joe the Stealer rule that way. You know it’s coming.
“If this transcript is true (which I doubt) .....”
I agree. Not likely it’s true, but if it is, Ron DeSantis is a hero in the Trump mold. I don’t mean abrasive, I mean clear sighted and decisive.
Nice.

That kind of language doesn’t sound like DeSantis...and if this had been said it would be on a lot more news outlets (if this is a news outlet) than this with widespread national condemnation calling for his immediate resignation.
They ALL need to take this attitude. The socialist’s are rotten to the core.
The Dems are in a bit of a tough situation here. They need to claim that they’re ridding the country of the virus (which they effectively did by changing the infection threshold from the testing swabs), while they also need to PUNISH their ‘political enemies’ - by making their states feel the pain of not being ‘team players’ (in other words, sucking up to them).
They were hoping to do both at the same time by having Fauchi and others blab-on about ‘New Strains’...but it looks like some people on our side are calling them out on this. FINALLY!
“Governor, do you want to be responsible for reinfecting the nation? Truth is, we don’t even know how effective current vaccines are against the UK strain.”
No way Biden came up with this thought on his own.
“If this transcript is true (which I doubt) ....”
Hope he didn’t use the f-word.
I presume the National Guard would interfere with any federal traffic checkpoints.
If accurate, and it’s a big ‘if’, then we’re witnessing the start of the “DeSantis for President 2024” campaign.
Watch them.
That can be rephrased as :
Nice State you have there Governor, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
“That kind of language doesn’t sound like DeSantis.”
DeSantis is a professional; I doubt if he’d say this.
“I will not, and you can go f*** yourself,” DeSantis said before hanging up.
Probably a spoof but if true, WOW! What would have been the ultimate climax is if DeSantis would have invited Joe to meet him out back of the high school. Ya know, kinda like Joe said about The Donald.
It is doubtful this conversation even took place as reported by this one fake news website..... it reads like a Q-Anon supporter wet dream.....
But still, that's what you took away from it?
I’ve noticed it’s OK to mention the “UK Strain”, but it’s prohibited to say “China Virus”?
Baloney
Fake but accurate.
