‘Gutless’? Ron DeSantis’ booster status under new scrutiny after Donald Trump interview

Well, I’ve taken it, I’ve had the booster. Many politicians–I watched a couple of politicians be interviewed and one of the questions was, ‘Did you get the booster?’ – because they had the vaccine – and they’re answering like–in other words, the answer is ‘yes’ but they don’t want to say it. Because they’re gutless. You gotta say it – whether you had it or not. Say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccines saved tens of millions throughout the world. I’ve had absolutely no side-effects.”

Trump is jealous of DeSantis' popularity, and is trying to take him down a notch.

But DeSantis is fumbling this. He needs to say either he got it or didn't get it. He sounds like a coward. I don't care either way personally.

[nbenyo]

The quote above is from Trump. Sorry for any confusion.

[JoSixChip]

Where did Trump mention DeSantis?

[HypatiaTaught]

How about it is NONE of your damn business.

Unbelievable.

All the people I know who have taken the “booster” have gotten very ill.

Take that you Jab pushers.

Brought to you not by Pfizer.

[bigdaddy45]

Why? Who cares if he got it or not?

[dware]

DeSantis is not the Trump like pol everyone thinks he is. He gets elected, he will not live up to expectations.

[Chickensoup]

DeSantis of course will have taken the booster. His wife is being treated for cancer.

Trump is making a mistake if he alieanates DeSantis, not only with DeSantis but with plenty of other conservatives who consider DeSantis AMERICA’S GOVERNOR!

[vortigern]

The commies have only one way to avoid a disaster in the upcoming 2nd term: Divide Trump supporters. Let’s hope they succeed as well as they did with the two impeachments.

[Zack Attack]

Why does he need to say? IMO it’s no one elses business.

[Chickensoup]

Trump didn’t live up to expectations either.

[Antoninus]

The correct answer to that question is: "Get bent."

No one has the right to know your health status, particularly anyone in government.

[so_real]

The whole point of HIPPA is that our medical history remain between us and our doctor, no one else. It's not gutless to keep your medical status private. That puts Trump in the wrong here. But that said, I remain a huge Trump advocate and he has my full support. I can't expect him to be right on every issue. He's not the Savior.

“Trump is jealous of DeSantis’ popularity, and is trying to take him down a notch.”

You’re an idiot.

[laplata]

I prefer DeSantis over Trump. And right now I like DeSantis more than Trump.

[M Kehoe]

Whatever.

Sheesh.

[so_real]

Ooops. "HIPAA", rather.

[nbenyo]

None of the people I know who have taken the booster had any side effects at all. I agree with Trump.

If you’re an elected official, you are subject to these questions. It’s not an unreasonable question since the booster is a current public health issue. It’s up to the voters to decide if it’s their business.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Trump is alienating voters, which is way more important.

[roving]

It’s no one business if he got a booster or not. If Trump keeps it up, he’s going to bleed supporters.

“ But DeSantis is fumbling this. He needs to say either he got it or didn’t get it. He sounds like…”

Nope. He’s been against them for Florida. Acted omit. He owes nothing else
