The extreme meltdowns that the left and the media experienced towards the end December regarding Florida Governor was something we extensively covered last week. Ron DeSantis allegedly going “missing” for several days while there was a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in his state.
Some of DeSantis’s most notoriously unhinged critics suggested he was deliberately trying to avoid the media in the middle of the alleged “surge” in cases, a laughable claim considering how adept he’s shown himself to be when handling a hostile Florida press corps. Other conspiracy theories suggested that DeSantis could be sick.
DeSantis’ reality was that he was in Florida with Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis while Casey was undergoing treatment for breast Cancer.
During a scheduled press conference earlier today, DeSantis was asked his response to claims from his detractors that he was “on vacation” and “MIA” over the last couple of weeks. His response was classic DeSantis as he mocked the media’s double standards and pointed out how such questions would never be raised about the current Oval Office occupant by the same people, even though as COVID case numbers rose in record numbers nationwide Joe Biden headed off to the beach in Delaware, as my colleague Nick Arama previously noted.
Gov. Ron DeSantis responds to critics who say he was “missing” during a surge of covid:
“I guess I should’ve been at the beach in Delaware, right, and then they woulda been really happy with that.”

DeSantis also mentioned that copies of DeSantis’ schedule were available to media who had been wondering about DeSantis. which showedHe was actually working.
DeSantis also criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who was seen in Florida during Christmas and did exactly the same thing she advised residents of her home state to avoid doing during the COVID epidemic:

AOC is not the only recent visit to Florida from hypocritical Democrats. Other notable visitors include Terry McAuliffe (2021 Virginia Democratic Governor nominee), New Jersey governor. Phil “Mandates” Murphy, and CNN anchor Don Lemon, who has all but literally accused people who are opposed to vaccine mandates “murderers.”
We’ve seen no response from AOC as of yet, but perhaps we will once she takes her foot out of her mouth over her prior ignorant comments about DeSantis being “missing.” Stay tuned.
