VIDEO: Gov. DeSantis UNLEASHES on the media in fiery takedown

While speaking to reporters in Orlando on Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ripped into the media over their press coverage on the coronavirus pandemic in Florida, and the predictions that Florida’s health care infrastructure would be overrun.

Standing beside DeSantis was Vice President Mike Pence, who was visiting the area to tour a longterm care facility.

“Our data is available, our data is transparent, in fact Dr. Birx has talked multiple times about how Florida has the absolute best data, so any insinuation otherwise is just typical partisan narrative trying to be spun,” he declared.

“Part of the reason is because there are a lot of people in your profession who waxed poetically about how Florida was going to be just like New York. ‘Wait two weeks, Florida’s going to be next. Just like Italy, wait two weeks,'” he said.

“Well, hell, we’re eight weeks away from that and it hasn’t happened,” he told reporters.

“Not only do we have a lower death rate, but even in our region, Florida has a lower death, and I was the number one landing spot from tens of thousands of people leaving the number one hot zone in the world to come to my state,” DeSantis.

Sen. Marco Rubio weighed in, tweeting in response to a video of the governor’s remarks, “Many truths in what @GovRonDeSantis said. The incessant focus on bad news & the refusal to acknowledge good news about #Florida & #Covid_19 is noticeable & damaging the credibility of journalism. And that is bad for democracy & America.”
