In a phone interview with radio host Glenn Beck for the Thursday edition of The Glenn Beck Program, DeSantis finally punched back against those claims. A clip from their exchange began circulating Twitter via Citizen Free Press.
“I think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people’s lives,” DeSantis said. “In Florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left, even a lot of Republicans, had schools open, preserved businesses.”

And this site was basically 100% unanimous praise for Ron DeSantis up until just a couple months ago, then he had the audacity to dare to run against Donald Trump in an open primary and now a good number of people here act like he's Benedict Arnold and America's Biggest RINO.
That’s flat out a lie. I live in Central Florida in a conservative county. We had crap closed down through June 2020 and beyond.
I have seen some real stupid responses on this forum in the last year but some here today really are out of this world.
First thing first.
If Trump would have fired Fauci, what do any of you think would have happened?
Second. Pence was put into the lead spot on the issue.
Third. It was used politically to get Trump out of office. And lots of you fell for it.
Are you people really that GD stupid? Oh yes, lot of you are.
Since 2018 when RDS became governor, the Florida legislature has had twice as many Republicans than Democrats. It’s not hard being a Republican governor in that state. For him to criticize Trump about his actions during CoVID is ridiculous. He has absolutely no idea what being POTUS is like with Democrats in charge of Congress.
(ONLY) After talk with Trump, Florida reverses course on coronavirus stay-at-home order
“The Donald did put that twit in charge.”
I cut Trump and Biden a little slack regarding covid. In the early stages the world was panicking. Fauci and that lady were the obvious experts on communicable diseases.
“The Donald did put that twit in charge...”
How can some people be so stupid. Fauci’s job title that he has held for forty years put him in charge.
You mean until he stabed Trump and all of us in the back. He said he wanted to governor, he said he wouldn’t run against Trump and then he said he wouldn’t run.
Trump had no chance from the start, thanks to the swamp. That he got as much done as he did was a miracle.
Lest you forget, Trump embraced Fauci and Brix.
Trump was also the Chief Executive Officer. He could have fired them.
I think the unwillingness to terminate him is a fair criticism. He could have found somebody better when it was obvious that Fauci was being ineffective, even if Trump could not have known about his corruption.
DeSantis urges public to get vaccinated: These shots are ‘saving lives’

Even then, why didn’t Trump fire Fauci during his lame duck term? You know, the more than two months between him losing and Biden taking over (November 2020 and January 20, 2021)? Fauci was a well-known fraud and it’s not like Trump had anything to lose, politically, at that point.
More Lies .
You are rewriting history . Northerner .
Desantis issued no orders to close any beaches .
A county could close a beach not the Governor.
Most last two weeks .
The Guy who destroyed million of jobs and businesses and lives
will never win again .
Desantis Needs to Run and he can WIN .
Trump has LOST Five Times in a Row.
We can not lose 2024 .
So, you’re going to try and convince me Trump wasn’t aware of the AIDS scare? Somehow, he was just looking the other way in the 1980s and missed it? A 15-minute Internet search would have gotten him all he needed to know on Fauci.
He or his team didn’t do their homework on who these CDC\NIAD, etc. characters were. I would have had full dossiers in front of me before the very first meeting! Particularly when I am dealing with a subject that I only have layman’s knowledge of! He gave me the impression at times was just ‘winging it’ & all could be solved with just the right amount of PR. If the germaphobia claims are correct the subject may have just scared him. He left it all to the ‘government experts’! But didn’t bother to see who his experts actually were! As they saying, goes ‘he e’ffed up, he trusted them!’. He should admit that to himself and move on Above all there is no need to continue to wrap his arms around it and imply it was the greatest national program since the Manhattan Project.
It in many respects was a ‘Damned if you do & damned if you don’t situation’.
Great post.
No...against Pelosi and Schumer’s advice.
Lets not forget
Millions out of jobs .
Millions lost there businesses .
Millions had to see loves ones die alone.
Millions will never forget or forgive him for that .
That’s crap. If Trump had fired Fauci, we would have had a true debate about the right path to take. Instead, all the powerful institutions: government, schools, media, corporations, military, judiciary all moved into lockdown mode with the sainted Dr. Fauci in the lead, and the President standing by mute. Without Fauci, Trump could have been the leader of a sanity movement, and maybe we wouldn’t have shut the country down for 2 years.
And if your point is it would have cost him the election: he lost anyway.
That, and rigged elections and the typical, ordinary seasonal flu. One wonders what is the Chinese word for “manna”?
