FL Sen Tina Polsky repeatedly asked Desantis Surgeon Gen Joseph Ladapo to put on a mask in her office, explaining to him she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. When she asked him why he wouldnt, He just smiles and doesnt answer. Hes very smug.

Floridas top public health official was asked to leave a state Senators office this week after refusing to don a mask in her office.
Sen. Tina Polsky, who was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in August, asked state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and his two legislative aides to leave her office after Ladapo refused to comply with her request to put on a mask.
I told him I had a serious medical condition, said Polsky, who will begin radiation therapy treatment for cancer next week.
Polsky said that Ladapo had requested to meet with her in Tallahassee this week; he was making the rounds visiting several Senators who will be asked in the upcoming Session to confirm him.

while in the office of a woman who has health complications, even when asked repeatedly.
Why not a tax commissioner who won't pay taxes because he claims to be a
"sovereign citizen"?
How about a DNR head who poaches endangered species?
