Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is attacking former President Donald Trump for “turning the country over to [Dr. Anthony] Fauci in March 2020” but DeSantis was praising the chief public health official at the same time in previously unreported quotes, saying Fauci was “really, really good and really, really helpful” and “really doing a good job.”
In other comments, the Florida governor said he deferred to Fauci’s guidance on COVID-19 restrictions and later cited his guidance when communicating the policies he was putting in place early in the pandemic in the state of Florida.
“You have a lot of people there who are working very, very hard, and they’re not getting a lot of sleep,” DeSantis said on March 25, 2020, at a briefing on Florida’s response. “And they’re really focusing on a big country that we have. And from Dr. Birx to Dr. Fauci to the vice president who’s worked very hard, the surgeon general, they’re really doing a good job. It’s a tough, tough situation, but they’re working hard.”

Spot on A+ three gold stars
You win the NARROW MINDESNESS AWARD!!
Lots of people went along with Fouchy and birx for the first few weeks. Then people began to say waitaminute.
Yep, the daily televised Trump briefings were going on then. It was around this time that I said to my wife: "Fauci talks in circles, he's more of a career bureaucrat than doctor. I hope Trump can find someone else who can speak about the medical details without sounding like a weasel."
The truth about Fauci is that he helped engineer a BIO WEAPON OF WAR, the Covid-19 virus. That engineering was called the “Gain of Function!”
He, then, joined the unsuspecting President Trump in a mock “Task Force,” pushing for Mask mandates, lockdowns and vaccines. Mike Pence was a contributor and aided Birx and Fauci to hoodwink the President.
Who knows how much money was paid, by “Big Pharma,” to rush the ineffective “vaccine,” into the needles and arms of all of us that participated in the vaccine sham.
Good question. None. Because they can’t possibly get anything on Ron.
Okay, you believe they've got something on Trump.
Just like Bob Mueller, Andrew Weismann, Liz Cheney, Adam Shiff, Adam Kinzinger, Alex Vindman, all the Democrats on both impeachment committees, most of the corrupt news media, the Meathead and most of Hollywood, Mitt Romney, Alan Bragg, the corrupt DA's in GA, and Merrick Garland and his corrupt DOJ all believe they had/have something on Trump.
Got it.
Do most DeSantis supports believe that, or it it really just you?
“Like most Americans, the governor initially assumed medical officials were going to serve the interests of the people
3-8-20 “No reason” not to go on cruise if you’re young and healthy: Fauci
3-16-20 Two weeks to flatten the curve.
3-25-20 “they’re really doing a good job” DeSantis
In less than a couple of weeks the activities and statements of Dr. F should have been enough for most Americans to see through it.
March of 2020!!!
You owe everyone on this board (both Trump and DeSantis, supporters alike) an apology for posting and advocating this propaganda from CNN.
If she did “submit to her husband”, you’d criticize her for not doing anything while Ron has to run a state, a family including his sick wife, and now a campaign. You’d call her a millstone around his neck.
I would do nothing of the sort. The Bible is crystal-clear that women are to submit to the desires of their husbands just as they must submit to God.
People talk about Casey because she so flagrantly violates that and bosses Ron around 24/7. He’s a henpecked beta.
Yes- especially since the quote was from 3/25/2020 when no one knew what the F was going on or the extent of Fauci’s fascism.
Oh you mean the guy Trump stood with for months. That guy....yeah. thanks....
I’m a Trumper, but Trump and DeSantis, along with many others, got taken in by the “experts” such as Fauci. I don’t expect a president to be an expert on viruses (or a lot of other subjects). Of a neccessity, all presidents use advisors; obviously, many advisors have ulterior motives.
Sanctimonious, oh, you mean like Trump?
Well I’d have to know more about them personally.
But then, the Bible also implies we are to submit to whomever our rulers are. Basically leads to divine right of kings. I had an argument 20 years ago with a very nice Christian lady who said our Revolution was thus immoral because God wants us to put up with whatever rule we have.
Actually my point is that Trump is an easy target because he’s obviously screwed around in various ways.
I’m sure most of the major charges are false, but when you live a libertine life and get your way with some real estate deals (NJ) it’s easier to find stuff, and make up stuff.
I agree that politicians, presidents, etc. can't be experts on everything. That's why its important that “staff” do their homework on someone before they partner this person publicly with their executive.
Mark my words this will be hung around Trump's neck! He needs to prepare for this and have an answer. Bluster & braggadocio is not an answer!
Coronavirus Updates, April 1, 2020Florida Governor Orders Statewide Lockdown
"Florida has now joined the list of states that are ordering residents to remain in their homes for all but essential activities to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made the announcement at an afternoon briefing. It was just a few hours after he spoke to President Trump. DeSantis said he's issuing an executive order that will direct "all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or essential activities."
With this order, Florida is joining more than 30 other states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in ordering a lockdown. In total, the orders affect more than 85% of the U.S. population. DeSantis said the order will go into effect in Florida on Thursday at midnight."
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..."
Nice story how Greasy crumpled under the simple pressure of one short phone call ... did Mrs. Meatball next tell Ron to take out his Olive Garden leftovers to the trash? LOFL!
Let’s be honest. Spring 2020 was before anyone knew of Fauchi’s perfidy.
Yes. I am quite suspicious of DeSantis but threads like this are much more likely to provoke positive thoughts towards RFK JR than towards Trump.
