Ron DeSantis says he's 'offended' that a police officer could potentially lose their job over COVID

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a vocal opponent of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, on Thursday said that the state will fight the federal government in court over legislation regarding such requirements.

DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, has spoken out forcefully against vaccination rules placed on employers, and last month said that President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate was a violation of Florida law.

"Let's not have Biden come in and effectively take away - threaten to take away - the jobs of people who have been working hard throughout this entire pandemic," DeSantis said during a news conference this week. "I am offended that a police officer could potentially lose their job."

"I just think it's fundamentally wrong to be taking people's jobs away, particularly given the situations that we see ourselves facing with the economy," he added.

I'm sure DeSantis is also offended that a cop could lose his job and maybe go to jail for beating the shit out of or killing someone without cause as well.

Gov. Death Sentence is a-okay with that. Don't take away their jobs, but let them fucking die anyway.

He has caused tens of thousands of Floridians to loose their jobs by his depraved indifference to Covid.
But then, they no longer need a job, because they're dead.

I don’t care if he’s Ivy League educated because his behavior is absolutely fucking stupid.
