DeSantis Smacks Back At Trump on Glenn Beck Show: ‘He Turned Over The Country to Fauci’
Mediaite ^ | May 25, 2023 | Candice Ortiz

Posted on 05/25/2023 3:41:14 PM PDT by Trump20162020

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.”

I’m sure he was, but was there incontrovertible proof that it was a scam? Show me this proof from a reputable source that AIDs was a scam from the beginning.

Maybe it would have made some Freepers happy if Trump had fired every bureaucrat and ran the whole show himself? No chance of corruption if Trump is the government. Nothing will go wrong with that, right?

Scaramucci was fired, not directly hired by President Trump.

Keep deluding yourself.

From the Official White House Press Release 07/21/2017 President Donald J. Trump Appoints Anthony Scaramucci to be White House Communications Director President Donald J. Trump will appoint Anthony Scaramucci, a successful entrepreneur, financier, and founder of SkyBridge Capital, to be White House Communications Director. Scaramucci will oversee the entire communications operation, including message development and strategy. He will report directly to the President.

President Trump said, "Anthony is a person I have great respect for, and he will be an important addition to this Administration. He has been a great supporter and will now help implement key aspects of our agenda while leading the communications team. We have accomplished so much, and we are being given credit for so little. The good news is the people get it, even if the media doesn't."

True, but perhaps better than the alternative. It wasn’t easy for him that’s for sure.

Should have known you’d be on this thread posting links criticizing Trump. You’re for the Ukraine war and against Trump. Sounds like a Biden supporter to me. 🤣

I’m sure you did but that was on the County Commission or City Council not the state.

DeSantis should really just STFU on this issue. His own track record ought to disqualify him from ever holding public office again.

On another thread we had a Florida Freeper describe the scene in 2020 when three police officers showed up at his retail business with a copy of DeSantis’ Executive Order #20-91 and informed him that he had to shut down because he was “not essential.”

This scenario where a law-abiding American citizen can have his business shut down by some government @sshole who never misses a paycheck reads like something you’d see described in the Declaration of Independence as one of the intolerable abuses by King George III.

If Trump gets the nomination I will be first in line to vote for him. Just like in 2016 and 2020.

Until then I’m rooting for Desantis, unlike the last 2 cycles I’m not behind him fully anymore. He is now my backup choice.

Amazing how the architect of Operation Warp Speed and arguably America's #1 COVID vaccine shill has his own supporters thinking they can dunk on any other Republican on the COVID issue.

Trump wasn’t a Washington insider, remember? Many of those appointees talked a good conservative game but they were lying. So nobody ever betrayed you in your life? 🤣

Do y’all know what the liberals down here call DeSantis? Their catchy nickname for him is “DeathSantis” because they feel that he caused Covid deaths precisely because he didn’t shut down, so which is it? Trump said the Cuomo did a better job than DeSantis...Come on now.

All the thousands of gays that died from AIDS in the 80s-90s sure did.

Fauci was put in charge of that outbreak as well with exactly the same result: DISASTER.

That shutdown literally lasted two weeks and that was after Trump himself called DeSantis to encourage it.

LOL….let me ask you this…..where were YOU born? Because I was born right here in Florida. Maybe you're unaware but DeSantis definitely closed the beaches. DeSantis Orders Major Shutdown of Beaches

Next time you want to call someone a Northerner or a liar, you should at least do your homework and know who you're speaking to.
