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.”

And that he didn’t terminate him when anything Trump disagreed with was uttered.

Any President under those circumstances would have done the same thing... unfortunately.

What did DeSantis have to say about FauXi, good or bad, in March 2020, or shortly thereafter?

Did he warn Trump not to use FauXi? Did he say anything at all?

Most of us here had probably never even heard of FauXi in March 2020. Funny, isn’t it, how hindsight is always 20-20.

Seem people forget the 4 year leading up to covid... Like the fake Russian collusion investigation the two impeachment and all the other bullshit / slander on Trump

It’s not like Trump had completely latitude to maneuver on any of these career deep state bureaucrats

If he had removed or ignored Fauci they just go to started another impeachment....and it not like he had over evidence at the start of who Fauci would turn out to be... hell Fauci was at first was saying mask were usless

Conversely when Trump’s said we could open by Memorial Day... The left when ballistic claiming Trump was trying to murder Grandma

Covid was part in the deep state game plan to rig the election

They weren’t gonna let Trump do anything they didn’t want..if he did they would just start another impeachment

...obviously cowed by Fauci and the CDC...and went along with that idiotic measure...is not a doctor...had to go along with the advice provided by the 'experts'.

Somewhere in there you were bound to find the truth.

The dems and the Rino "never-Trumpers" were looking for every reason to impeach and convict him out of office.

Can you imagine the headlines? "Trump ignores the advice of the nation's top medical doctors regarding the best way to combat the health threat our country faces and charts a completely opposite course."

"That is way down the road. It's not anything that I'm planning for," DeSantis added.

That is clearly not an outright denial. He probably wasn't planning for it at that point, a year before the governor's race, because had he lost the governors race, any chance of running for President would have been out the window.

When asked about it in the debate and before the election, he never said he wasn't running for President, or promised to fill out his term. We still voted for him, anyway.

WRONG.

Fauci, Birx and others were already there.

Cabinet appointments required Senate approval. Trump’s hands were tied.

Scaramucci was fired, not directly hired by President Trump. Out of thousands of hires, Trump chose directly a small number like Steve Bannon, Dr. Peter Navarro, Dr. Atlas.

Pence was OK, quiet, low profile, until weekend before Jan 6 when his Chief of Staff Marc Short brought in Swamp Attorneys to turn Pence against Trump based on lies.

The Swamp was and is full of traitors including in the military ranks. Nothing like this has happened in US history. The infiltration was run full bore during eight years of Marxist Obama.

Follow Col. John Mills (Ret.) to grasp the depth and breadth of the infiltration.

Trump walked into a den of vipers with one hand tied behind his back.

I'm not against DeSantis. He's my Governor and he's done a good job. That said, I'm not liking this fighting that's going on between DeSantis and PDJT. DeSantis should have sat this one out. And you are correct, DeSantis did shut down the beaches. I got chased off an island by the marine patrol and my husband and I were the sole inhabitants. Rewriting history is a Demonrat thing. DeSantis shouldn't be doing it.

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

And then opened them back up and ignored all further pressure to close them back down. I took a vacation to the FL beaches in May of 2020. Everything was open and has been ever since.

DeSantis outperformed Trump when it came to covid.

But, he has made a big mistake trying to run against Trump.

No matter what Trump did, half the country was going to be pissed off at him.

COVID came down like Manna From Heaven to the Anti-MAGA people.

When this COVID *hit came down I did notice Mike Pence being handed the bag of *hit without the bag put in charge of the White House Task Force Fauci and Deborah Birx working with him Birx referred to by Pence as his “right arm”.

Birx flew around especially after the election in 2020 pushing lockdowns in Utah no family gatherings at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

She pushed a mask order in North Dakota the Governor Doug Burgum put into place and one “in the Gulf Coast area” that Tate Reeves the governor in Mississippi imposed for awhile.

There was a national emergency trillions of dollars dispensed in 2020 dependent upon compliance with federal directives.

Those trillions in inflation generating funds the first two trillion signed off by POTUS Donald J. Trump only Congressman Thomas Massie who supports DeSantis now opposing the massive spending.

Florida’s coronavirus cases kept ballooning, especially in the dense neighborhoods of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Hospitals in Fort Myers and Naples begged for donations of masks and other protective equipment. Young people started to die.

And still, Gov. Ron DeSantis resisted. The man entrusted with keeping many of the country’s grandparents safe did not want to dictate that all Floridians had to stay at home.

What it took for Mr. DeSantis to change his mind on Wednesday and finally issue a statewide order were a phone call with President Trump...

What did he deliver?

4 years of peace and prosperity.

A constitutional Supreme Court.

An end to federal tax subsidies to high tax liberal states.

Yes, what did he deliver…

Trump should have fired Fauci and Birx. No question about it.
