Gov. DeSantis Falsely Claims COVID-19 Doesn’t Threaten Children

This is child endangerment:

Per cnn.com
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® wrongly asserted on Thursday that COVID-19 doesn’t pose any danger to people under 25 while he was making a case for having kids go back to school even as the virus continues to spread across the country.”

My grandson is 11 years old. I take no backseat in defending him from the likes of THIS IDIOT.
Ther are babies in diapers who have dies from covid. A 13 year old who Dr Sanjay Gupta spoke of just yesterday on cnn.com died of covid.
so without further venting…

FUCK YOU DESANTIS

btw DeSantis, do you have any children of your own? Would you willingly risk their lives?

What I see here is another example of a Trumpulican recycling a refuted talking point. The assertion that COVID-19 doesn’t threaten children was made back in Jan or Feb. It lasted about 2-3 days on the news cycle. It didn’t gain much traction on the internet, so DeSantic is either late to game, or is trying to recycle refuted talking points.
This is not regular Florida Man stupidity, this someone desperate to ignore the facts and science.

Yep. One of my favorite things to do when a right-wingger screams about ‘Political correctness’ is to make them actually define what they are complaining about they can’t do. Every single time it boils down to not being able to openly say shitty things about a minority or advocate for bigoted policies without being judged by others as a bad person.

My two daughters, (15, high school, and 19, USF) are not going back to their schools/petri dishes.

My sister, a high school teacher, says “I have enough sick days. I’m not going back.”

Years ago I committed to never go back to Florida after a few of their prison guards tortured and boiled a black mentally disabled prisoner to death and got away with it. They will never see a single dollar from me again until they get their shit together and vote scum like DeSantis, Scott, and Rubio out of office.

Perfect explainer on the Todd Akin’s of the world with dipshittery about legitimate rape or the female body has a way of shutting it down. Translation: women are property.

This man is two tomatoes short of a thick paste. What an idiot! BTW, did anyone else see his expression during that presser while wearing one surgical glove? I immediately thought he’d have the same expression at the condom factory. This man is simply awful.

Interesting. And the cynic in me sees your point.

But one thing I learned in frosh history course eons ago has always stuck with me

Don’t ascribe to malice what can more easily be explained by stupidity

Now can you explain why some Republicans keep saying “the quiet part out loud”? Does it go along with Trump admitting, in public, on Fox, in news conferences what his motives are? Some pass it off as “he was joking”, but if he does what he said he was going to do then it’s not a joke.

Plenty of Floridians above I4 are pretty sick and tired of DeSantis. From my personal communications.

If you don’t need your stimulus check, send it to your favorite candidate. Preferably one that can flip a seat.

And, since they will spend it, it does stimulate the economy. More so than sticking it under the mattress.
