Ron DeSantis Mocks Joe Biden As A ‘Lockdowner’, said Florida Is ‘Focused On Lifting People Up’ Amid COVID-19
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Sunday, February 14, said his state was “focused on lifting people up” amid the coronavirus pandemic, while those still observing lockdowns are “putting people out of business”. Florida has the fourth-highest death toll with nearly 29,000, only after California, New York and Texas.
Speaking in an exclusive interview to Sunday Morning Futures on Fox, the Republican governor said: “There’s a whole bunch of things we’ve been doing for COVID, but at the same time, we’ve lifted our state up, we’ve saved our economy and I think we’re going to be first out of the gate once we are able to put COVID behind the country.” He also mocked President Joe Biden as a “lockdowner”, saying lockdowns “don’t work” at the end of the day.
Florida gov slammed by Angry Internet after state sets one-day record with 15,299 new Covid-19 cases.
DeSantis slammed as ‘stupidest Governor in America’ as he lifts all Covid-19 restrictions on Florida restaurants.
The governor, who is serving since 2019, said that by keeping the state open, he was allowing new entrepreneurs to come in to begin new ventures, besides new restaurants and hotels. “So people view Florida as the place where they can follow their dreams,” DeSantis said, stressing that “it is a free state.”
