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.

“But still, that’s what you took away from it?”
Perhaps we’ll learn as time goes on whether that was an accurate quote. I like DeSantis even if he threw out that word, but he lowers himself by using that word in public.
But some of our movies are f-storms. Maybe I’m behind the times.
Wow, ya gotta love Governor DeSantis. I do hope he told Biden to go F himself. Biden will not have the ballz to threaten Florida again.
Oh, they’ll do it. Already have. It’s that we have no moral obligation to obey them.
Easy enough to find out.
Ask DeSantis to confirm or deny.
BTW, DeSantis: If you really did this...you speak for me.
I’ll even stick a tenner in my cuss jar for ya.
Trump has a twin thank God.
Can you imagine the outrage from the left if Trump had even hinted of using the vaccine as a political tool? They would be screaming that he was threatening to kill people.
I have no idea if the transcript is accurate or not, but DeSantis is one of the best governors this nation has ever produced. I will be shocked if he isn’t a nominee for president at some point.
So here’s Biden’s “plan” ... just what we feared. God bless Gov. DeSantis!
You think there will be another legitimate election?
That’s funny.
Yet Fauci avoids criticism even though it is HIS policies being followed. they are going to lower the boom on Trump and other officials.
“”The actions of Biden and Fauci sound like something that would be right at home in “Atlas Shrugged””
Good catch - I’ve forgotten the name of the character but certainly the mentality of Fauci....
Hello, Twenty, twenty-four...
How can you not love this guy?
That’s a Judge Judy quote. :)
I think we found our 2024 Trump Card...
