He pushed them in the beginning, because nobody understood what was happening. He was also the first one to stop one it became apparent that it wasn’t really a problem.
Here we go.
So many people on FR seem to believe that the leftists rigged every election in the country EXCEPT Florida.
Did they ever think that they did rig FL to help DeSantis? They are desperate for him to be the nominee and not Trump and wanted him to appear strong.
He learned from his mistakes. Look at the kooky liberal states that still force COVID vaxxes at their state colleges like PA, NY, Mich, VT, mass, Md. Like it still start of the pandemic.
Why was the media saying Florida was open and evil and DeSantis was worse than Trump?
Let the trashing of DeSantis begin.
Operation Warped Speed: vaccines that don’t vaccinate, propping up little Fauci, trillions of debt, freedoms abridged.
Misleading to the point of FALSE. Lie.
The Data still shows pushing Vaccines on Old people up until June ‘21 was smart and probably bought a hundred thousand or more, additional time. Desantis was prioritizing the old, which was prudent. Healthy people under 50 never needed any vaccine.
After August ‘21, anyone pushing vaccines on anyone wasn’t doing it based on science and Desantis wasn’t.
If we are going to go there, Trump got rolled by Fauci, rolled by Sessions, rolled by Paul Ryan, rolled by Pelosi, rolled by McConnell. It’s not 4d chess, he’s just an easy mark.
Calling BS! (As a Florida resident.)
Just made my very first political donation in more than 2 years to DonaldJTrump.com. Been waiting for this moment for more than 2 years. His speech tonight was exactly what America needs to hear.
My governor is a good man. His policies are good for our state but, Ron is not Donald Trump. Too politically calculating. Totally lacking in Charisma and Presence.
Ron is Cruz, 2.0. Good policy positions but, totally lacking in presence. He’s done very well in Florida. A state that is virtually controlled by Republicans at almost every level.
It’s like hitting softballs with a Fungo Bat here for him.
Yep.
How quickly they forget.
and it was Trump who said two weeks to flatten the curve... what’s the point here?
In fairness, I’d say very few people actually got it exactly
right in the beginning.
Some folks went out on a limb, and things turned out well for
them. It could have gone another way, but I’m glad it
didn’t.
I’m not faulting Ron for what took place early on. As the
top official in a state, you’ve got a lot of responsibility,
and you’ve got ‘thought to be’ officials swearing you need
to do “X”. You’re between a rock and a hard place.
I think Trump was even more between a rock and a hard place
because the whole left hated him, and then he had the
healthy agencies attacking him and giving out terribly
inaccurate information.
I have no doubt some of the government agencies cost lives,
they just hated Trump so much.
At any rate, I grade Ron an east A- on this.
Here comes the historic rewrite.
What is this crap?
Outright disinformation. I was here. Just because he initially went along with some restrictions (bars 50% capacity), doesn’t mean he favored lockdowns!
What a crock!!!
Is this you, Sundance?
Everyone did. Except Kristi Noem. She’s in a smaller conservative state.
I live in Florida and I cannot recall DeSantis being heavy handed or inappropriately unreasonable at any point in time. As information evolved so did his response. Some local governments within the state were much more heavy handed about it, not DeSantis. He stopped a lot of it from happening, like with the schools for example
