Democrats Turn On DeSantis Challenger For Daring To Celebrate Mask-Free Flight
Daily Wire ^ | 20 April 2022 | Virginia Kruta

Posted on 04/20/2022 9:56:35 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

Democrats quickly turned on one of their own — Florida gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried — when she dared to celebrate her first mask-free flight.

Fried shared a photo of herself smiling, maskless, onboard her first flight since the mask mandate for all domestic air travel was overturned just one day before.

“Peace out to the TSA mask mandate, but also peace and respect to others, whether wearing a mask or not,” she captioned the photo.

Fried was not alone in her desire to celebrate, either. Within hours of the mandate being lifted, dozens of videos from airports and even planes — where in some cases, the end of the mask mandate was announced mid-flight — showing passengers and airline employees alike cheering and applauding the news.

Potential opponent Ron DeSantis was quick to celebrate the mandate’s end as well, saying, “Finally we have judicial relief for that unscientific mask mandate on airplanes. They’ve treated these flight attendants horribly for so long, the passengers horribly. […] Our view is very simple: zero mandates of any kind.”

But Fried still must best former Republican Charlie Crist — who earned the endorsement of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — in the Democratic primary before she can face DeSantis. And a number of Democrats made it clear that, after seeing her post about flying mask-free, they will be voting another way.

“Hey, it was the CDC not the TSA. Seems a candidate for governor should know this. Me, I’ll be voting for the candidate endorsed by the smart, savvy Speaker Pelosi, @CharlieCrist. He’s already proven he knows how to govern,” @teacher97 tweeted.

more like that old barnon the side of the old two lane ‘named highway’, old, beaten, lop-sided with a ahem detectable lean, still carrying a barely noticeable burma shave sign, a few holes in the roof courtesy of carenter bees, and empty inside.

Anyone who votes for Crist should have a large ‘s’ stamped on their forehead. For Stupid.

We’ll tell them it’s for Superman.

Naturally the Dems are concerned. If they start celebrating freedom, everyone is going to want it.

Thee#ImWithNancy 🇺🇸💉🇺🇦🌻 @ateacher97 says that he or she will vote in Florida, and is “a teacher”. It’s past time to be aware of these groomers that are all over our classrooms. It’s surprising how these people can be teaching in our schools since their reading comprehension is very poor.

What exactly is it that leftist warriors find so comforting in mask wearing? I know in the cities the criminal element love them because nobody can get recognized, but they keep that to themselves. It takes real crazy Karen ir Ken types fresh off the call tree to sound off over people not having to wear marks? I just don’t get it? What is it that makes the mask tingle their panties?

They don’t want anyone to challenge Charlie.

Point of order!

As a general rule, a sign painted on a Southern barn either advertises chewing tobacco (generally Red Man or Mail Pouch) or SEE ROCK CITY.

Burma-Shave signs (which originated in Minnesota and were located mostly in the Midwest and Northeast (although there were outliers along the eastern route to Florida)), were mounted on free-standing posts.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Training. Training in control of the masses. Practice burkas.

Before March 2020, only judges could order home confinement.

Now, the precedent is set for governors and Presidents to declare an “emergency” and do as they wish.

If this scamdemic has shown anything it is how eager liberals are to obey the government.

Correction:

If this scamdemic has shown anything it is how eager liberals are to obey the government....when they are in control.

Otherwise, it is "resist", "question authority" and "not my President"

Not only training --- a visible sign of compliance with the government.

They HAD to have a mask mandate, because that was something everybody could see that showed the wearer was complying - thus creating a 'club' of obedient subjects who could identify and shame those who were not obeying.
