DeSantis, Trump seek to rewrite history on COVID response
ORLANDO, Fla. — In January 2021, Gov. Ron DeSantis was proud to announce the one-millionth COVID-19 vaccine given out in Florida. “We did it live on TV,” DeSantis told a Newsmax town hall four months later. “And I had a 100-year-old WWII veteran, they showed [his] shot, we were all clapping. They were interviewing him, and he just unilaterally said, ‘I want to say one more thing … Florida has the best doggone governor in this country.’ And I was like, ‘Hey, I’ll take that.’” Back then, DeSantis often praised the state’s coordination with the Trump administration.
A group backing DeSantis, who has embraced being anti-vax to the point of seeking a grand jury to investigate “wrongdoing” by their creators, used AI to create a fake image of Trump hugging White House health adviser Anthony Fauci, a hated figure on the right.
“We can never allow ‘Warp Speed’ to trump informed consent in this country ever again,” DeSantis said in May in an unsubtle nod to his opponent.
Trump, who has alternated between continuing to take credit for the vaccine and reposting anti-vax screeds on his social media site, has gone after DeSantis for his record on shutdowns in 2020, despite his working in conjunction with the White House at the time.
“Ron DeSantis ordered lockdowns, imposed Covid-19 checkpoints, and closed beaches, and despite it all, Florida still had a higher COVID-19 death rate per 100k than New York,” the Trump War Room posted on Twitter in May.
Kenneth Goodman, a bioethicist and director of the Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy at the University of Miami, said the sparring “would be just another ordinary example of the silly season in American politics if it weren’t that so many lives were at stake.”
He’s distributing our country’s secrets like the card dealer in a poker game. How many “cards” you get depends on the size of your ante to get in his game.
How many lives might have been saved if the pandemic had been treated as a medical problem rather than a political opportunity? People seeing virtue in behaving in ways counter to their own well-being…
Listening to Dump’s recordings about the secret documents in his “care” one gets the impression of a kid who has a special toy he wants to brag about to his friends.
Mr Molina has captured his weird puckered lips. Thank goodness President Biden is in office and the Democrats have a majority in both chambers, though small. I’m so proud of Gov Walz as well. The trifecta has allowed the state to become a haven from conservative restrictions and suppression.
There is more justice in Brazil than there is here in the USA.
Brazil’s highest electoral court has barred former President Jair Bolsonaro from running for political office until 2030, after finding him guilty of abusing his power and misusing public media during last year’s election campaign.
Five out of seven judges found the former president guilty, effectively ending any hope of a political comeback in the forthcoming 2026 election. Two of the judges voted against the decision, which prevents Bolsonaro from running for public office for eight years.
The case stems from a meeting Bolsonaro held with foreign ambassadors in July 2022, in which he spread false information about Brazil’s electoral system and brought its credibility into question ahead of last year’s fractious election. The meeting was livestreamed by official television channels and on YouTube.
