Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis accompanied his wife to her cancer treatment while critics were accusing the governor of taking a vacation as coronavirus cases spiked, Fox News has learned.
A DeSantis spokesperson said the governor accompanied wife Casey to cancer treatment Dec. 29, the day several left-wing critics accused the governor of “missing.”
DeSantis’ announced in October that his wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer, telling Fox News at the time that as “the mother of three young children, Casey is the centerpiece of our family and has made an impact on the lives of countless Floridians through her initiatives as first lady.”
Democratic Mayor Jerry Demings of Orange County in Florida criticized DeSantis in a press conference Tuesday amid the rising COVID cases, suggesting state residents “should be outraged” with DeSantis not being in front of the media during the spike.
“Our residents, all Florida residents should be outraged, and they should ask the question, ‘Now, where’s our state? Where’s our governor?'” Demings said. “Where is Ron DeSantis now? When was the last time you saw the governor do a press briefing regarding COVID-19?”
Others, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to social media to criticize DeSantis and accuse him of being “inexplicably missing.”
“Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a tweet during a visit to Florida. “If he’s around, I would be happy to say hello. His social media team seems to have been posting old photos for weeks.”
“In the meantime, perhaps I could help with local organizing,” added Ocasio-Cortez, who was spotted maskless while drinking and dining outdoors in the Sunshine State. “Folks are quite receptive here.”
MSNBC host Joy Reid also lashed out at DeSantis, writing in a tweet: “A governor, not governing during a crisis; and sunning his belly on vacation instead. @GovRonDeSantis is the Nero of Ted Cruzes.”
DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw responded to Reid, attaching photos of DeSantis’ daily schedule, and asked, “Have you ever considered that you’re one of the reasons nobody trusts the media?”
DeSantis communications staffer Kyle Lamb also responded to critics on Twitter who were questioning whether DeSantis was on vacation, writing: “Just FYI, [DeSantis] is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is.
“Anyone pushing that could have easily seen the public schedule and seen that he’s taking calls and meetings this past week,” Lamb added. “Not having public events does not = ‘vacation.'”
All you no goods on social media , if you had a heart, how you can be so hateful and nasty. you must of had a terrible mother who didn’t have time to teach you goodness in life, what a bunch of disgussing people you are you all need to be canceled.
These loser liberals should be ashamed of themselves, I know that will never happen since they’re scum. If someone had this happen to them all we would hear is leave them alone with all they’re going through. Nothing is too low for a liberal.
Democrats are digging their own grave! They have absolutely no compassion or decency in their veins! It sure makes it easier to vote in the next few elections when you compare the two parties!
Governor De Santis loves his wife and wants to be with her to support her during treatment. If any of you scum bag losers have had to go through cancer treatment, you would know they are not painless, not comfortable, and make you very ill! How dare you be so inconsiderate of a fellow human bieng? Just shows that not one of you have the decency to have regard for human life! The Karma bus will be making a stop at your house, and you better not complain, you asked for it!
Idiot aoc is the witch who started this. One consolation…they will meet their Maker, and no matter how many Bibles they carry ( they even haven’t open God’s word) to show the morons how ‘ spiritual they are’, they’ll end up where they belong…IN HELL, BURNING FOR ETERNITY!
