DeSantis Backhands AP Over ‘Clicks First, Facts Later Approach to Journalism’ Following Latest ‘Smear Piece’ https://trendingpolitics.com/desant...h-to-journalism-following-latest-smear-piece/ Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis lashed out at The Associated Press in a letter dated Monday after the newswire service published a “conspiracy theory” about him and his administration’s response to the pandemic. “I assumed your letter was to notify me that you were issuing a retraction of the partisan smear piece you published last week,” DeSantis wrote. “Instead, you had the temerity to complain about the deserved blowback that your botched and discredited attempt to concoct a political narrative has received. “This ploy will not work to divert attention from the fact that the Associated Press published a false narrative that will lead some to decline effective treatment for COVID infections,” he added.
DeSantis Blasts Biden Admin For Relocating Illegal Aliens in Fla.: ‘We Cannot Abide the Lawlessness’ https://trendingpolitics.com/desant...liens-in-fla-we-cannot-abide-the-lawlessness/ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tore into the Biden administration over its relocation of illegal migrants to his there without notifying state officials or bothering to ask for permission to place them. In his letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, DeSantis, a Republican seen as a leading GOP presidential contender in 2024 if former President Donald Trump doesn’t run, said putting illegal migrants in Florida undermines the state’s effort to ensure that “criminal aliens are not released back into our communities.” DeSantis began by reminding Mayorkas he wrote to the DHS chief in April requesting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents take into custody illegal alien felons who were completing their sentences in his state, while also noting that he asked ICE to inform Florida state law enforcement officials when the agency released criminal aliens, but to no avail. Instead, he wrote, DHS “appears to be hard at work resettling ever larger numbers of illegal aliens who have no lawful status under federal immigration law from the southwest border to Florida,” adding that the Biden administration does not appear interested at all in enforcing immigration laws in general.
I suspect that Florida will have gotten through Delta much sooner than most other states and that soon, the other states, even restricted ones, will be going through Delta in a similar way. Thank you Ron for getting Florida through it early.
I fail to see how Ron DeSantis can be to blame for a virus's effects that came from China. The people in Florida are free to make their own decisions as they should be. Getting vaccinated or not is your personal choice and if you experience a negative effect, then that's on you. ---Masks and lockdowns of course don't work. I applaud Ron.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Responds to Biden’s Vaccine Mandate with a Brutal Reality Check: There is No ‘One-Person Rule in this Country’ https://trendingpolitics.com/gov-ro...e-is-no-one-person-rule-in-this-country-knab/ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t mince words with the Biden administration over the federal vaccine mandate that it issued by executive order on Thursday. When asked to respond to the president apparently directing comments at him during his Thursday address, DeSantis was blunt. Watch: “I would just say, generally, when you are taking action that is unconstitutional that threatens the jobs of people in my state, many, many thousands of jobs, I am standing for them, we are going to protect their jobs against federal overreach,” the governor said. “This is a guy who criticizes the State of Florida for protecting parents’ rights,” he added. “He says school boards should be able to eliminate parents’ rights and force five-year-old kids to wear masks all day. That’s what he thinks is appropriate for government.” “And yet, here he comes from Washington D.C., instituting and unprecedented mandate,” he continued. “When even his own people in the past have acknowledged it is not constitutional. That’s not leadership.” “I think the problem I have with Joe Biden, more than anything, this guy doesn’t take responsibility for anything,” DeSantis said. “He is always trying to blame other people. Blame other states.”
BREAKING: DeSantis Scores Big Legal Win Over School Mask Mandates https://trendingpolitics.com/breaki...ge-legal-win-over-school-mask-mandates-crugg/ On Friday, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis scored a big legal win regarding his fight to ban mask mandates against children in schools across Florida. The 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee granted SeSantis’ emergency motion asking for an appeals court to reinstate a stay on his order on Friday. “1st District Court of Appeals just granted the State of Florida’s request to reinstate the stay — meaning, the rule requiring ALL Florida school districts to protect parents’ rights to make choices about masking kids is BACK in effect!” said Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman for Gov. DeSantis.
Maybe Ron needs to check himself before he kills any more residents of his state. Poor ‘King DeSantis.’ He doesn’t know how mask-wearing became so political in Florida https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article254104888.html

Lee to investigate Facebook for their alleged election interference, accusing the big tech company of impacting state and local elections, calling the effort “an affront to the basic principles of our republic.” “I hereby direct that your office immediately investigate this alleged election interference caused by Facebook through its whitelisting program – and any other previously undisclosed program within Facebook – in order to determine whether any violations of Florida’s election laws took place,” DeSantis said in a letter to Lee. “Your office should use all legal means to uncover any such violations, including but not limited to, issuing subpoenas, conducting witness interviews, reviewing all available information and consulting with law enforcement.”
