Ken Suarez reports

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – The governor created a quit in Winter Haven Thursday to tout his leadership in the course of the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was flanked by the state’s prime health-related officer, Surgeon Common Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who DeSantis appointed.

“It is not feasible to give him sufficient credit for what he did,” Ladapo mentioned in front of a roomful of avid DeSantis supporters.

DeSantis added, “We’re not going to fall into a Faucian distopia.”

Along with taking a swipe against Dr. Anthony Fauci, he slammed the Centers for Illness Handle.

DeSantis patted himself on the back for coming out against wearing masks at loved ones events, closing down schools and companies and obtaining vaccinated.

He mentioned his positions, which went against prevailing health-related suggestions, helped place the state in a improved financial position than several states that followed CDC suggestions.

The governor’s comments mark the 3-year anniversary of the 1st confirmed situations of COVID in Florida, and comes as a backdrop to an anticipated DeSantis run for president.

“His most significant opponent, really should he run for president, is Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is wasting no time in going soon after DeSantis and attempting to dismantle what ever constructive feelings individuals may well have about the governor, especially on the handling of COVID,” explained Dr. Susan MacManus, a professor at the University of South Florida.

Polls show that Florida’s governor is the most preferred in the complete nation. But not with the Florida Democratic Celebration.

Shortly soon after DeSantis created his comments, the celebration issued a statement saying that his handling of COVID was a disaster and DeSantis was spreading lies and misinformation.
