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.
The reasonn is self-evident: when those with the power to change things don’t do so it’s because they don’t want to.
Boils down to they can, but won’t.
I checked DeSantis’ wiki. He’s been in politics for over 10 years, as of this year.
This makes him part of the Swamp. 10 years is my personal threshold for that declaration and if you’re going to Drain The Swamp, there are no waivers.
As for Florida’s success, they have had 3 daily Covid death surges and are on the decline of the 3rd. There is zero reason to believe a 4th is not on its way. Those other 2 had a decline, too, and maybe even declarations of policy success.
Iran has also had 3 daily death surges and are in decline from their 3rd, too.
COVID isn't even on the radar screen outside the major media centers and among simpering Branch Covidians.
Check out his biographical profile. If you read through it and didn't know whose profile it was, you'd swear the guy was a perfect example of someone who has been groomed for years to serve as a political operative in the Swamp.
I'll vote for him if he's a GOP nominee for national office, but I will never trust him.
AOC went to a gay bar so a pox on them is what you are inferring. At least she gave it to her constitutiental national body.
Kim Reynolds is doing well but doesn’t get the attention that DeSantis gets—partly due to population differences between Florida and Iowa.
Here is food for thought. According to the CDC website, Covid deaths in Florida are 23 for the last 7 days. In California, 494. And in New York, 423. We should get on the Republican (DeSantis) bandwagon if we really cared about helping people.
Was AOC hosted as a visiting harlot in a FL whorehouse to do her super-spreading activities????
Ive got the same thought and complaint about GOP Congressmen and women. We have a handful of firebrands who always out front taking the battle to the enemy and the message to the people. I wrote my own rep and asked “Why are you laying low and being invisible? Why aren’t you shaking things up and fighting for liberty and freedom?” No response. He sends out a monthly newsletter that is useless.
90% of the GOP in Congress are useless.
“I had no problem getting mAb infusion for my wife last week”
What was the version of mAbs? Was it Sotrovimab? And, how is your wife doing now?
Thanks.
About the only things Joe can do on his own is shuffle, breathe and mumble.
“As for Florida’s success, they have had 3 daily Covid death surges and are on the decline of the 3rd.”
FL ranks #16 in deaths per million in the U.S. When considering they are a retirement state (old people) they should be at #1 like AZ (#2) which is also a retirement state and run by a big RINO.
The citizens of FL should thank Almighty God they have a governor like DeSantis.
Regarding your comment about being in the swamp may I remind you that one of the greatest presidents of our time had more time in politics before he became our president. RONALD REGAN.
no it was the bamianivimab + etesevimab made by Eli Lily.
The very next day, fedgov said they were going to stop distributing that one and another one because Sotrovimab is supposed to be the only one that works for Omicron. They changed their minds a couple of days later. I wasn’t worried about the one she got maybe not working on Omicron because I wasn’t worried about Omicron since it seems mild. We had no idea which covid we had so I got her the appointment in case it was Delta. She has COPD. Judging by our symptoms, I think it was Omicron.
I would describe it as a something in between a bad cold and mild flu. We’re both doing fine. I did the full FLCCC protocol and she did just the vitamins from it. I did the horse paste thing.
1000 UI of vitamin D
50mg Zinc
82mg aspirin
100mg Doxycycline (sold for pet fish)
I also drank Emergen-C which has full B complex and 1000mg of Vitamin C. She didn’t like the taste.
I suppose we could have had Delta and it was made mild by the regimen. Never lost sense of smell/taste but things did taste funky for a couple of days and there was a couple of days where I kept smelling something like a tin odor.
Hi.
I wouldn’t come to Florida either.

He saw from the beginning the need for a layered and nuanced approach to combating the pandemic.
Meanwhile, dementia Joe had 3 vaccines, and their supply and distribution chains, ready to go on he day he was inaugurated. Give a dunce a hammer, and all he sees are nails waiting to be pounded in.
“We’re both doing fine. I did the full FLCCC protocol and she did just the vitamins from it. I did the horse paste thing.”
Congratulations on dealing with this in such a smart way! It worked and I’m glad you all came through fine.
When the history of this disease is written in a few years it will go down as one of the biggest boondoggles and screw-ups in our history.
Murphy’s Law type of response.
Whatever they could do wrong, they did.
The Democrats will try to create another "macaca" moment for DeSantis, just like they did to former Virginia governor George Allen, who was identified as the GOP front-runner candidate for the 2008 presidential election.
I'd even argue that successfully taking out Allen was the flash point for turning Virginia blue.
