Florida Dem Considering a DeSantis Challenge Comes Out in Favor of Vaccine Passport Mandates

Florida’s Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner, Nikki Fried (D), used an appearance on MSNBC to criticize Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for his COVID response; Fried is rumored to be preparing to challenge DeSantis for his reelection bid in 2022.

Fried accused DeSantis of “going off on a rampage” earlier this week, when he vowed to sign an executive order banning the use of vaccine passports. The Biden administration is planning to spearhead the implementation of vaccine passports to require individuals to show proof of vaccination in order to attend public events, travel, and reenter normal life.

“It’s completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society,” DeSantis said earlier this week.

Fried voiced support for a mandate for the use of vaccine passports by “local and state businesses,” specifically the cruise industry, which is a dominating industry contributing to Florida’s economy.

Our governor, Pete Ricketts, said he will oppose ANY and ALL efforts to put any kind of Vaccine Passport in place.

On the other hand, we have a mayoral election coming up in May for Omaha, and one of the candidates has stated, as part of his “platform”, that he will hire a city “Covid Czar” to take us forward safely (or whatever BS he’s spouting). Seems like by the time a new mayor is in office, we should be way past any need for a Covid Czar or whatever.

We were past any need for a Covid Czar a year ago.

Not even close to true! They are not socially distanced and there will be far fewer after the mandatory population reductions.

Most Leftist agree with ‘passports’ cause 1) the Constitution is meaningless to them, 2) personal freedom of rights, etc. are obstacles to their agenda, and 3) these are the same folks that would have applauded Hitler and the Nazi Regime’s use of ‘passports’, etc.

They will triumph because no one is stopping them. They win an election by one vote and they consider it a mandate. And now, they can steal elections with impunity, and the GOP will look the other way.

The first AgSec in Florida’s history to put her own picture on the gas station pump stickers when she took office. A self-absorbed liberal at their best.

The DemonRATs are the hypocrite party. When requiring a voter ID, they pound sand and scream evil! Yet, they cry for a Vaccine Passport. WTH! It’s insanity Jim!

Back when Evan Bayh was gov in Indiana, his minority Superintendent of State Police Melvin Carraway did the same thing.

I don’t think there was one in the entire state that wasn’t defaced, LOL.

Before anyone gets their panties in a wad over this, some

“Experts say it’s unlikely COVID-19 passports will come about: ‘The vaccine passport could wind up being irrelevant’”
