Ron DeSantis rips Joe Biden over plans to sue states that refuse to impose school mask mandates and says president should worry more about 'Afghanistan burning'

DeSantis lashed out at Biden over the ongoing Afghanistan crisis after Biden threatened to sue states which have banned school mask mandates

The Florida Governor told Fox News: 'When you're leaving thousands of Americans to fend for themselves behind enemy lines, that matters.'

Signed an executive order banning mask mandates in Florida schools last month

Biden faces the worst crisis of his presidency, with up to 15,000 Americans

feared trapped in Afghanistan after the US withdrew and the Taliban surged

'I mean, you gotta wonder, where are your priorities that you're so obsessed with this issue and so obsessed with taking away parents' rights?

'And you're letting Afghanistan burn, our border burn, and so many other things in our country fall to pieces', he said.

DeSantis said Biden should focus on Afghanistan, as well as 'all the stuff at the southern border... one of the biggest border disaster in the history of our country, inflation, gas prices' instead of mask mandates in Florida.

DeSantis, a lieutenant commander in the US Navy reserves, signed an executive order banning Florida schools from forcing children to wear face masks last month

Some school districts have vowed to defy him, with DeSantis threatening to withhold funding from them, and even to donate private school vouchers to parents who feel they've been 'COVID-shamed' because they don't want their kids to mask up.

'In Florida, we believe that that's the parents' decision. Joe Biden thinks the federal government should come in and overrule the parents and force these young kids to wear these masks.

President Biden took aim at DeSantis - touted as a 2024 Republican presidential candidate - as he revealed a new pro-mask policy Wednesday.

In California and many of our 57 states: Grocery stores, restaurants, churches and hardware stores, now have stricter Covid entry requirements, than, our borders have!

Is something wrong and should be reversed here/there

Thanks again to Biden and Grusome!

Why even complain to Biden and the other China installed middlemen?

They screwed Trump (and us!) by stealing the election, trading Trump
for Xi Jinping of Beijing.

Does it even make sense to talk to Xi’s PedoDementoCorruptoCrat toyboy?

There’s nobody “home” there.

That is a jab at Obama for a gaffe that he made claiming he had visited 57 states.

That was Obama’s famous misstatement. I think he was thinking of Hienz, as in John Kerry.

Btw, Heinz refers to John Kerry, Obama SOS, because his wealth came from his wife Teresa Kerry, a Portuguese American woman who was the widow of Senator John Heinz, heir to the Heinz ketchup and sauce company fortune.

If a mask design is 99% effective in the first hour of exposure it might only be 50% effective after 100 hours of exposure and maybe 10% effective after 1000 hours of exposure.

In China, parents were told to measure their child’s temperature before sending the child off to school and to keep him/her home if feverish or sick.

I thought it was somehow related to a 57-state Muslim caliphate?
