DeSantis tells Levin why President Biden is so hellbent on beating up Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis offered some valuable insight into why his state has been constantly demonized by the Biden administration and its media attack dogs which he believes is rooted in the nation’s 46th president’s failure do deliver on his campaign promises to defeat COVID.

DeSantis sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Mark Levin on his Fox News Show Life, Liberty & Levin where he discussed the administration’s refusal to embrace such treatment options as monoclonal antibody therapy which has been a critical element of the Sunshine State’s success in terms of keeping those infected with the virus out of hospitals and ultimately saving lives while the White House has focused on mass vaccinations.

During the interview which aired Sunday evening, DeSantis suggested that the real reason for the ongoing trashing of states like Florida and Texas is that Biden is looking for scapegoats in order to distract from his own abysmal results on containing COVID despite his insistence that he was better suited to get the pandemic under control and restore the country to normalcy than former President Donald J. Trump.

Levin pointed out that Biden, his top medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci as well as the media have avoided talking about the option of mAb, asking the governor whether such an omission was a “grave disservice to the American people and the health care system.”

DeSantis responded, “I think when you look back at how the pandemic was handled there will be a whole host of cardinal sins but some of the chief ones will be the school closures, kids are locked out of school for over a year, we have schools closed now in parts of the country, unbelievably,”

“The extended lockdowns, the lockdowns were a disaster, but not focusing on treatment from the very beginning was a huge mistake and Fauci and people like him are absolutely to blame for this and so, once we did get these treatments on-line through the private sector, to ignore them and to put all your eggs in one basket was a fundamental mistake,” he said.

I cannot find a link to the complete interview from last night. If anyone has a link please post it.

My other comment is this:

The GOP has 32 Governors. Then, why is it that 31 of those 32 GOP Governors cannot say and do what DeSantis is saying and doing??????

I’m now starting to think that AOC DELIBERATELY brought Covid to Florida to the large gathering. Since she already had it when she left NY....she could care less if a Floridian got it. Those unmasked degenerates should maybe go and get checked...cuz kissy, missy made the rounds.

The Rats want to flip Florida (and Texas) and they want to prevent DeSantis from being on the ticket in ‘24.

The New York Times front page Covid map shows omicron is spreading fast.

I had a scratchy throat yesterday. I’m pretty much just feeling weak today.

DeSantis latched on early to the antibody treatments to keep Florida open.

Now even the demented dummy in DC knows about the value of antibody treatment.

Hopefully, the CDC will get more companies to make sotrovimab.

Floridians will not react well to the Biden Treatment in 2024.

I had no problem getting mAb infusion for my wife last week. Same day service. Our lockdown was for 2-3 weeks early last Spring. Kids went back to school last Fall. Life here in Missouri has been similar to FL. FREE. Gov Parson is a little wishy washy but not bad and doesn’t feel the need to get in front of a camera every day like DeSantis.

None of this was a mistake. They know what they are doing.

Has AOC berated Florida yet for giving her COVID?

There is plenty of the monoclonal antibodies— the CDC does not direct or “control” the batches in production. The FDA does, and has political control under a Bidenaut. As to distribution— this is very much being (as DeSantis has said several times) restricted from Florida and Texas by... the Health and Human Services who “control” the payment/direction shipping of the doses. HHS is the willing illegal partner in this political revenge, under direction of a craven yet another DHIMMOCRAT apparat for Biden— who has the power without Biden’s machinery yes/no to do the correct thing and follow the needs requests of the States. They are violating a lot of the Constituion- and also, not completely said, they are telling the companies NOT to sell direct to FL. Not to sell to them (govt. control of a licensed approved private company. Which is Fascist-Leftist. There are lawsuits from many states.... law suits as opposed to just flashing the cash to companies who would NOT be illegal in selling to their State Govt public health entities. It IS Biden’s clowns intentionally standing in the way.

The Governor’s do communicate— DeSantis and Abbott are said to send out communiques on their FEDgov treatment in re Covid and a lot else.

Sending Queries to the head of the Senate Republican re-elect— that being Senator Rick Scott of FL might be a way to kick the in their bushie butts. Scott of course was...at one time a “healthcare system” executive who came under a LOT of fire in re: his outfit’s finances in federal billing re: medicare. How the threats roll in this environment. Scott is not JEB! but he clearly thinks he’s presidential material of the “other” part of the party.

Don’t forget-— that Chi-Com agent from House Intel— Swallwell was video’d/photo’d also in FL “interviewing” some woke apparatchik there. Might be good for some reporter (the few who actually cover him and his “fang fang” girlfriend who ran him until they “broke-up”). Swallwell is a real LEFTIE just to the right of AOC and... he is a Socialist.

(He called Tucker Carlson a Russian Agent on Tucker’s show— Tucker did not allow him to come back on after the break, or... ever again! Since Swallwell’s district was split off from Schiffs they are in constant ultra LEFT apparatchik conversation, and both think they are enfant terrible).
