DeSantis to Biden: 'I don't want to hear a blip about COVID from you'

The governor’s comments came after Biden told DeSantis to “get out of the way” of mask mandates.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis lashed out at President Joe Biden a day after Biden told the Republican governor to “get out of the way” of mask mandates.

During a stop in Panama City on Wednesday, DeSantis accused Biden of “helping facilitate” COVID-19 by not securing the border with Mexico. He said immigrants crossing the border are spreading variants of the virus.

“You have hundreds of thousands of people pouring across every month,” DeSantis said. “Not only are they letting them through, they’re farming them out all across the country, putting them on planes, putting them on buses. Do you think they’re worrying about COVID for that? Of course not.”

DeSantis said the immigrants are crossing the border from all over the world, and “whatever variants there are around the world, they’re coming across that southern border.”

DeSantis is really working hard to beat Abbott in claiming the Biggest Dipshit Governor crown.

That is very sad for this country. So I hope Biden/Kamala are on top of this situation.

majority have mild symptoms should be a clue to the arrogant governor of Florida. He missed something wherein virus medicines do work all over the world. If Red States have a low vaccination rate, and does not mask up, etc., it's on them.

Biden's program to bus and fly illegal immigrants infected by covid all over the country, but surprising mostly to places where vaccine rates are low.

I'm giving Ron the benefit of the doubt here and suggesting he might not be lying. He might be a deadly combination of insane and stupid.
