DeSantis: Trump Praised FL ‘For Years’ ‘Now, He’s Changed’ and Says Cuomo’s Lockdowns Were Better
Breitbart ^ | 06/05/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 06/05/2023 1:12:36 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to criticisms from fellow 2024 GOP presidential candidate former President Donald Trump of DeSantis’ tenure as Governor of Florida by stating that Trump has praised Florida “for years” and “Now, he’s changed his tune and he’s saying Andrew Cuomo did better with his lockdowns in New York” than Florida did “as a free state.”

DeSantis said, [relevant remarks begin around 11:15] “So, here’s the issue: He has said how great we’ve done in Florida for years. He said [I was] one of the great governors, Florida’s one of the great states, Florida stayed open, they did it right during COVID, all this. Now, he’s changed his tune and he’s saying Andrew Cuomo did better with his lockdowns in New York than we did here in Florida as a free state. I think I can count the number of Republicans on my hand who would have rather have lived under Cuomo’s lockdowns than would have rather lived under free Florida. So, he’s just trying to sell people a bill of goods. That is totally, absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think anybody actually believes that.”

“That would be the smart thing.. although some here would rather vote for Stacey Abrams if Trump isn’t the nominee.”

And those idiots gave us eight years of Obama.

"You elected Obama for eight years."

How's that? I voted for George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, McCain and Romney, despite misgivings, and NY State still went for Obama. I did my part. Has the Republican Party done anything about voter fraud in the 20+ years since Gore tried to steal the 2000 election? Nope. So why should I support them like a mind-numbed robot? I will never compromise my values again, and vote for another Rino in the time I have left on this earth. I don't care if he's got Jesus as his running mate. Go lay your guilt trip on someone else. I'm too old for that $hit.

Trump knows his two weeks to flatten the curve shutdown is his weakest spot.

DeSantis is telling the truth. You just have your hero cult blinders on.

They have to keep up the narrative so their Trump super hero trading cards don’t lose value.
