Florida congresswoman claims Fox News and Ron DeSantis are responsible for state's COVID surge

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on CNN Newsroom With Pamela Brown Sunday, where the Florida Democrat blamed Gov. Ron DeSantis for the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the state. Florida currently accounts for roughly 20 percent of new cases in the U.S.

“What I think explains high infection rates is that we have a governor who has not taken COVID seriously from the very beginning,” Wasserman Schultz said. “You know, he’s essentially right now treating it like a joke.”

DeSantis recently passed a law prohibiting local jurisdictions from imposing new COVID restrictions, and is selling anti-vaccine merchandise, like t-shirts that read “Don’t Fauci My Florida.”

“I would rather see us Fauci our Florida than have people go through death by DeSantis, and that's what we're facing now,” Wasserman Schultz said. “He actually had a law passed in Florida to prohibit local governments from being able to enact measures like mask requirements and social distancing to keep people safe. You just can't make this stuff up. So that's where the blame lies, at his feet.”

A Woman of Truth.

Love to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz .

About time MSM gives her a place at the table.
We need to hear more of this truth from the Adults.
Finally.

but we all know republicans don't take responsibility for any of their actions.

DeSatan has always been trying to out-Trump,Trump. He has his eyes on the White House, and he needs every racist, anti-vaxxer, xenophobic, white supremacist, misogynist, neo-nazi Trump cult member he can grab.

So taking responsibility for anything COVID related is sheer nonsense. Being responsible is something those "libtards" do, not flag waving, god fearing, patriotic "Murkins" like them.
