As Coronavirus Rages In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis Melts Down Over Ice Cream

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As Florida battles a surge in coronavirus cases and a record number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is getting caught up in a food fight.

On Tuesday, DeSantis added British brand conglomerate Unilever to the state’s list of “scrutinized companies” because one of its divisions, Ben & Jerry’s, announced last month that it would stop ice cream sales in Israeli-occupied West Bank and contested east Jerusalem. The move could ultimately prohibit Florida from having investments in Unilever or any contracts with the company and its subsidiaries if it doesn’t reverse course in 90 days.

In a news release, DeSantis said he wanted to deter “woke corporations” and send a message “that we will defend our strong relationship with the Jewish State.”

On Tuesday, Florida reported 11,515 people hospitalized with the coronavirus, a pandemic record, including some 2,400 in ICUs, per the Orlando Sentinel. And experts do not see any relief in the immediate future.
