The petition, which was started by Cameron White, criticizes the Republican governor's stance towards COVID-19, as well DeSantis making it difficult to file for unemployment benefits.

"Governor Ron DeSantis and former governor Rick Scott have made filing for unemployment in Florida impossible. They care more about showing low unemployment numbers than they do if Floridians have enough to eat," the petition reads.

"Aside from this sad fact DeSantis waited until the last minute to issue a stay-at-home order which without a doubt caused the Coronavirus to spread much faster than necessary. The governor has also went directly against CDC guidelines and allowed churches to still have large gatherings. He is not fit to be our governor and needs to be removed as quickly as the constitution allows."

Although the petition was started over a year ago, it has recently picked up steam, with thousands of people signing it in the last few days as Florida sees COVID-19 cases soar. By Sunday morning, the petition had 35,367 signatures.

1. Now this one actually makes sense!

[rzemanfl]

2. There is no recall in Florida. Holding one's breath until you turn blue

has the same chance of success.

13. It is certainly a pity that there is no recall provision in the Florida state constitution...

With Deathsantis approval rating down to 44%, one could assume that a recall attempt against him would have had some legs...

[rzemanfl]

14. It's Florida, what more can I say? n/t

[radical noodle]

15. I was about to say the same thing

You saved me the trouble! One can wish, but we can't make it happen.

3. There is no governor recall provision in Florida law.

6. There is no governor recall provision in Florida law.

Which is why I keep saying that he'll continue murdering people WILLFULLY, and NO GQP'ers will tell him to step down, or make any comments on him essentially being a mass-murderer, and he'll continue doing it until the world looks level. He doesn't care, as he's too busy going about the country raising money so he can run for the presidency.

4. ". . . has also WENT"? Nope.

[hay rick]

9. When I stopped reading...even for giggles...

and I live in Florida. Of course, there is no citizen petition recall provision for governor in the state constitution.

5. Meaningless Slacktivism...

There is no recall provision for State officials in Florida. This is a "feel good" online petition that anyone can sign and will have no impact. I'd like to think those 37,000 people were actively working to defeat DeSantis next year.

7. He may have fewer voters next year

one way or another

[monkeyman1]

11. What ya mean next year , at this rate it will be non-existence!

he'll be lucky to stay out of jail ! bet between now Jan. '22 some law's just enforced on this negligent homicide stuff. it happened during hiv. if people knowingly infected with hiv where charged with negligent homicide & imprisoned . what the fuck is the difference now with antiva's? please think about this !

[monkeyman1]

8. maybe no recall , but damn sure is for " child endangerment" , attorney time & court !!

[Mr. Evil]

10. I like the way you think!

[obamanut2012]

12. We have no recall apparatus here

They need to be donating to Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist instead.

[SharonAnn]

16. That's pointless. Florida has no recall provisions.

[packman]

17. Yah, no recall - Repukes saw to that a long time ago

They knew if there wasn't a chance in hell - outside of voting their sad asses out of office - that they would allow angry citizens to hold them accountable through a recall.
