DeSantis praised the whole Trump Covid Team, and the idiots make the whole thing as if it was all about Fauci.

But who could have and didn’t fire Fauci??? Not DeSantis.

Trump put him front and center

Fauci is the POSter child for Covid..

Fauci is Science.

Fauci is ultimately a Criminal commiting Crimes Against Humanity..

He was front and center because he was never going to be martyr for the Deep State.

He’s the co-conspirator mass murdering Dr who was always going to be front and center...

The whole world will see Fauci as a Science/Medical leader of a worldwide attack and coup against the Sovereign United States and its sitting President.

A traitor..
Front and center.
Not fired and made a martyr by Co Conspirator Nancy Pelosi types..

Scott Atlas from Stanford was brought in during the pandemic and openly questioned Fauci’s actions and was never given serious consideration

Unfortunately, most people believed Fauci was working in the interest of America’s health. I can’t fault DeSantis on this one.

Exactly. There's way too much "retro-shaming" going on over things that occurred in the early days of the "pandemic," when we gullibly trusted that officials, agencies and corporations were honest and working for our benefit. Remember "We're All In This Together"?

That trust has almost completely evaporated, now.

Spring of 2020? That was basically when it first broke, and Trump was calling DeSantis and pressuring him to follow along with “The Plan.”

https://kffhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/florida-governor-relents-to-mounting-public-pressure-and-issues-stay-at-home-order/

Gov. Ron DeSantis resisted...did not want to dictate that all Floridians had to stay at home.

What it took for Mr. DeSantis to change his mind on Wednesday and finally issue a statewide order was a phone call with President Trump...

Don Jr. has posted a lot about Rhonda Santis’ globalist views but here are some links for you. But the bottom line is that the biggest globalist libertarian Republican billionaires love Rhonda. Jeb Bush supports him. All the RINOs see Rhonda as their way to get rid of Trump.

“Ask yourself why did Trump put him front and center and to this day has never been critical of Fauci, if you are going to label DeSantis a Fauci supporter if you are honest you should say Trump is just as guilty”

This is a lie. Trump criticizes Fauci routinely. He did so while president as well:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fauci-says-he-s-not-surprised-trump-contracted-covid-19-n1243857

The deep state worked to keep Fauci in position and Trump tried to educate the public but most were not paying attention.

Yep. The same over educated idiots that I spoke of would have nothing to do with him. I seem to recall some of the inbreds here shouting him down as well. I do forget though in all of the noise, what position did Atlas hold in our .gov at the time?

Just about every government leader was doing so. Since information about COVID risks was very one sided it made Fauci look like a genius who would save us all. Acting on evidence available at the time to reach a conclusion is not a big of a fault as you want people to believe.

Only a Trump biased mind would say such a thing. I think for myself and are not led by the nose by anyone. I actually would prefer to see DeSantis stay as governor of Florida. But that does not color my view of how the GOP campaigns are being conducted.

That was VERY early on, Fauci had not shown his colors yet. No one could be faulted for backing the medical leaders then.

Yep...DeSantis stuck with Fauci until the facts diverged from the narrative. This was mature and appropriate leadership. Trump should have fired Fauci at the same point, but he failed.

Old predictions from months ago that never panned out. Those big shots decided not to support DeSantis, saying he’s too conservative, especially on social issues. You really should get out of your Trump echo chambers more, to see what’s really going on.

Atlas was Advisor to the President, a ‘special government employee’ in the CV Task Force, limited to 130 days without special extension. He was forced out after his 130 days for calling out the Fauci-Walensky fraud.

He is a med professor at Stanford and member of the Hoover Institute.
