Alex Azar blamed the outbreaks in meat packing plants on the "lifestyles" of the workers living in tight circumstances. When are we going to start hearing tropes about "lice and poor hygiene"? It's coming.

I'm sure those bars that all those entitled white Republicans congregated at without facemasks had nothing to do with it. Nor the beach congregations, or the Rocket event that brought everyone out to watch.

Nah. Better to blame agricultural workers.

migrant workers in uncrowded buses, and don't force them to live in crowded camps. He's been blaming agricultural migrant workers for weeks. Someone should ask DeSantis why he hasn't taken any action to stop the virus from spreading among this community.

ways, including buses for at least a century, in Florida. DeSantis seems to not know the history of his state(?) ..okay...he really just needs a scapegoat.

Hard to believe that a Governor of Florida does not have such at risk groups as a top priority. It's almost as if they are not rich Republicans.

...the citrus industry would be in freefall!
Then he'd blame them for NOT being on those crowded buses!
