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.”

Yeah, he’s got a point. Trump appointed so many bad people.

Steve Mnuchin, Bill Barr, Mike Pence, Mick Mulvaney, Jim Mattis, Cliff Sims, John Bolton, Christopher Wray, Gen Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, Deborah Brix, Anthony Scaramucci, John Kelly, Michael Cohen, Gen H.R McMaster, Rex Tillerson, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Ty Cobb, Andrew McCabe Etc.

DeSantis doubles down on 2024 presidency stance: ‘It’s not anything that I’m planning for’

No. The vapors are from those folks who have no issue with Trump trashing DeSantis on the daily even before he announced but get all upset when DeSantis fires back.

Two good candidates should not be verbally slashing at each other in primary season. We barely have a few states and need the independents and purple states.
The only ones smiling about the infighting are Satan and his Democrats.

Get these shirts and wear them.

Here’s the exact timeline, and Trump’s exact lockdown statement from whitehouse.gov:

- March 16, 2020: Trump issues his nationwide lockdown guidelines “Two Weeks To Flatten The Curve”

- March 30, 2020: Two weeks later, Trump extends his nationwide lockdown guidelines, indefinitely

- April 1, 2020: Only AFTER Trump extended his lockdown guidelines indefinitely, AND personally called DeSantis, did DeSantis agree to limited lockdowns that were LESS than what Trump requested nationally

Here’s Trump’s actual announcement from March 16, in his own words:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-3/

TRUMP: “This afternoon, we’re announcing new guidelines for every American to follow ... The White House Task Force meets every day and continually updates guidelines ... we’ve made the decision to further toughen the guidelines and blunt the infection now. We’d much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it, and that’s what we are.

Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy,

- Work to engage in schooling from home when possible.

- Avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people.

- Avoid discretionary travel.

- And avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants, and public food courts.

If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus.”

He put him in charge because the guy has been in the Medical Business for 50 years and was considered top of the line.

The name is President Trump...not Doctor Trump.

Tell me what his other choices were.

But DeSantis should be real...he would have done the exact same thing.

That was forty years ago.
Trump was not part of the system, so he wouldn’t have known who was good and who was not. Not one of us would have been able to hire good people, because we aren’t on the inside.

Not really. Fauci was calling shots in Federal government back when PDJT was in college, probably. Trump didn’t “deliver” Fauci. If anyone did concerning WuFlu, it was Judas Pence.

I believe you are right about Pence. I think that he brought Fauci in.

You’ve been misled by Trump supporters. As I said, DeSantis was asked this exact question, multiple times, including during the official debate.

DeSantis refuses to commit to full second term during tense debate with Crist

There were beaches closed, yes. But DeSantis did not close them. The County Commissions closed them. I live in Wakulla County, Florida and our beaches never closed nor did the ones in next door Franklin County. Broward and Miami Dade (still relatively blue) areas did close their beaches for a few weeks at the height of the pandemic.

Like desanctomonious didn’t. He shutdown the beaches for God’s sake.

Yet Trump praised DeSantis and his handling of Covid in Florida, in multiple public speeches that his supporters will now pretend never happened.

I’m going to vote for Trump. I’m convinced that man put his own life at risk to improve our nation. As u would step between a veteran and an attacker, I will go to bat for president Trump.

During this campaign however.. his opponents are going to point out very real, very true failures.

I fear for the outcome. I do not for a moment believe even in an honest election where 3 candidates will cross the finish line that we will ever get either Trump OR DeSantis.

With cheating, which is already in place and reality or without cheating. If the 3 of them good out until the end.. it will be biden without a doubt.
