DeSantis' office hits back after mayor asks 'Where's our governor?'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office fired back after a Sunshine State mayor asked where DeSantis is amid the rising coronavirus case count nationwide.

Democratic Mayor Jerry Demings of Orange County in Florida attacked DeSantis in a press conference Tuesday amid the rising COVID cases, saying residents in the state "should be outraged" with DeSantis not being in front of the media during the spike.

"Our residents, all Florida residents should be outraged, and they should ask the question, Now, where's our state? Where's our governor?" Demings said. "Where is Ron DeSantis now? When was the last time you saw the governor do a press briefing regarding COVID-19?"

The governor’s office fired back at the Democrats Thursday with a communications staffer writing on Twitter that just because DeSantis doesn’t have scheduled public events does not mean he’s taking a vacation.

"Just FYI, [DeSantis] is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is," DeSantis staffer Kyle Lamb wrote on Thursday.

"Anyone pushing that could have easily seen the public schedule and seen that he's taking calls and meetings this past week," he continued. "Not having public events does not = 'vacation.'"

The actual response was from yesterday.

Meanwhile Forbes just posted this garbage: Florida Democrats Accuse DeSantis Of Disappearing — Here’s What We Know

At the same time Fox just posted this article saying he was right here.

They could have done the work and looked at the guy’s feed like Fox did.

The accusers are just trying to stir up negative vibes against DeSantis. Old political trick knowing a percentage will never hear/read any followup vindicating the Governor. Just a trick, but it does influence some voters. Act of desperation actually.
