'I am standing in your way': DeSantis fires back after Biden criticizes Florida's pandemic approach

TomFitz said:
The WSJ has always been one of the papers I go to pretty much every day. The others are the Post and the Times.

Between the three of them I’ve found that they’re the ones that most accurately reported the real news of the moment. Thus, their accounts are most likely to reflect the history that is eventually written.

That said, the WSJ editorial page has always been rabid right wing. Embarrassingly so.

While I have often found individual editorials in the other two problematic, the WSJ has always been more than willing to go right to the bottom.

Which still surprises me considering the rest of the paper is mostly straight reporting.

The post is horrible .

It's accuracy is bad, it's bias is horrendous, and the level of propaganda is consistent with what you would expect a newspaper owned by Murdock would be.
 
Here is exactly what DeSantis said responding to Biden's comments.



Boom! A drop the mic moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And truth be known the majority of people in this country agree with him.

It's a gear up to mid term elections and next presidential election. They need to find a few Fear The Beast topics which they will repeat ad nauseam because the more they repeat them, the more their electorate believes them.

It is always about the struggle for ultimate power between the 2 parties and most of us are their lackeys. Why else has the border crisis not been solved? Why do we fuel the fires of racism? Why have we not solved our HC issues, being a powerful nation?

I did not realize all those disease-ridden Mexicans make a beeline straight for Florida. Is there any truth to this or is DeSantis just trying to up his Florida Man game?

Digging into the playbook... Um, chapter 1, page 2... deflection. "Deflect is defined as to cause something to change direction, or to deter someone from his/her intended purpose. ... When all the attention is focused on you and you change the subject and get people to change what they are talking about, this is an example of a time when you deflect the conversation."

His handlers have told him he has to be "tough" with Biden after he praised him about a month ago. DeSantis is just doing what he's told. It's the same playbook they are all using. Pretend to be anti mask, anti Fauci, and claim Biden is letting all these EVIL brown illegal immigrants with COVID into your neighborhoods.

His press conference was pretty weak, actually. It's amusing how defensive and whiney he becomes. He's a weak debater actually, despite the narrative the GOP and their media paints of him.

Ron DeSantis' Approval Rating Tanks as COVID Delta Variant Ravages Florida (Newsweek)​

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' approval rating tumbled to 43.7 percent in a new poll published on Wednesday, as the state grapples with a surge in cases of COVID driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant."

I think the GOP Governors who are in the "I'm the most incompetent" sweepstakes are betting that enough of their voters will survive the surge. It's an inhumane bet, but it looks like a bad one, too.

Hell, even most Floridians don't agree with him. Your fantasy wish is showing. And it is very much a fantasy: "69% of adults say that undocumented immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country legally if certain requirements are met, including 42% who say they should be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship (26% say they should be eligible to apply for permanent residency but not for citizenship). Three-in-ten say that undocumented immigrants should not be allowed to stay legally, including a quarter who say there should be a national effort to deport undocumented immigrants." (Pew Research) Just sayin'

Our immigrants are mostly from the Caribbean. Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic and others. Each have neighborhoods in the Miami area that add to our rich tapestry. Immigrants are represented by many of our most beloved artists and politicians and business people. We're an international tourist destination. That's how we make our money. That's why Florida doesn't have a state income tax. North of the lake is DeSantis-supporting trash.

What a surprise, an Andrew Gillum supporter in the last Florida election for governor decides to chimes in.
Tell me, is he out of rehab yet?

Well if the Governor keeps giving his residents bad medical advice you may just get your wish.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be a FL Republican.

Hi, element94!

The answer to that one's easy. As many as it takes, of course.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

That was pre-2015. Trumpservatives only take credit when the results are good, and never, ever own up to anything they might have done wrong.

It takes a particular kind of "special" for a peninsular Governor to fail to recognize geography.

It's so ridiculous because FLORIDA IS NOT ON A BORDER. Unless he's talking about Americans from Georgia coming in and giving Floridians covid? But the knuckle-draggers love tough talk, whether it makes sense or not.

Hi, lurchadams!

Governor Ronald DeSantis may be using the 'alternate facts' approach of another well-known Republican. Time will tell as his statements are checked against factual data.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Delta is two to three times more contagious than the original virus...
"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Just five minutes of exposure can trigger transmission, as opposed to 15...
"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Delta cases “may be more serious on average” (CDC) because of a 1200 times viral load...
"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Scientists are starting to think that immunity against Delta — from either the vaccines or the virus itself — partially “wanes in ~6 months.”
"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Experience increasingly shows vaxxed people can spread Delta to others.
"Look, over there! Mexicans!" Meanwhile,
Florida hits its highest hospitalization rate in history, including children, highest infection rate, and the death rate is rising among Florida residents.
Yay, Governor "Look, over there! Mexicans!" Destupid?
