“Thanks I would prefer not to litigate a contentious and complex past that can be interpreted many ways. Let us agree to disagree here.”

I posted facts. It is not that complex. Trump lied.

I do not agree. DeSantis did close beaches, other beaches were closed by local authorities. Trump made an overstrong statement but not a lie. More of a simplification. That is the reason I do not want to get into an argy bargy here. Both sides are using curated storylines.

“Surprise, Ron was a big lockdown governor on the China virus, sealing all beaches and everything else for an extended period of time,” Trump said in a statement posted to Truth Social March 22. “Remember, I left that decision up to the governors.”

DeSantis boasted that he kept beaches open in his recent book ​​”The Courage to Be Free” — a statement we found misleading. But Trump’s suggestion that DeSantis closed all the state’s beaches also misses the mark.
