DeSantis in West Palm Beach: Jan. 6 anniversary events and coverage are 'nauseating','politicized'

[Zorro]

WEST PALM BEACH — Saying he expected "nauseating" coverage of the anniversary of the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he would tune out watching news coverage.

"It's interesting how everything in our society becomes very politicized. Honestly I'm not going to watch any of it," he said during a COVID briefing at the Rehabilitation Center of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach.

However, the governor tweeted he had plans for an appearance on Fox News.

While at the post-acute care and skilled nursing facility located just north of 45th Street, DeSantis announced that Florida would distribute nearly 1 million rapid at-home COVID-19 testing kits to senior living facilities and nursing homes as case numbers skyrocket across Florida and in Palm Beach County.

1. Hey DeSantis: take two horse tranquilizers and call us in the morning

We'll go ahead with healing our country; you be a good little boy and treat those COVID symptoms, you hear?

2. Well guess What? DeSantis is someone who is politicizing Jan 6. Why appear on S**t News?

5. +1

I got giddy when I heard him at his last conference. He was holding on to the lectern to keep from falling over and was nearly weeping with the pain of trying to present himself as healthy.

Let them all croak!

8. Headstone - At least they didn't make me get vaccinated. I win.

[bedazzled]

14. Since he is trying to murder me and all those around me

I heartily concur!

I feel bad about my lack of compassion, yet I was wondering what Jesus' take would have been on behavior like this. I know about the turn the other cheek thing, but if the person is trying to murder? Too lazy to explore the Bible to find out, I guess

6. They *are* nauseating

It makes me sick that he, and the rest of the terrorists and traitors aren't behind bars.

YET

7. Yeah, I'd have a nauseated feeling if my party engaged in a coup attempt...

"Politicized"? Hey DIPSHIT, January 6th was an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power by a mob DIRECTLY INSTIGATED by the LOSING candidate and current president DONALD TRUMP, who is the leader of the REPUBLICAN PARTY, one of the two major political factions in the United States. THE WHOLE FUCKING EVENT WAS POLITICAL. Republicans, in the year since that POLITICAL event, have been trying to down play the event by lying about it, trotting out stupid political conspiracies, and generally behaving in a completely partisan way in subservience to the STILL IN CHARGE of the Republican political party, Donald Trump.

We know that you plan to cover your ears and say, "LA LA LA LA". We know that you will go on Fox, because they won't ask you any real questions about January 6th or any other stupid thing your political party did or is doing.

"Politicized" is just another stupid word that Republicans use to confuse things. January 6th and the events that lead to it, and the reaction of the Republican Party since is COMPLETELY POLITICAL. It is about politics and expected to be political. Now, he could have said, "Partisan" but then that would lead to more questions given that Republicans were asked to participate in finding the facts and truth around what happened on the 6th and leading up to the 6th, but they didn't want to go there. The only 2 Republicans who did, have been effectively ostracized from the Party.

9. Says the guy Who politicizes Covid, getting Floridians killed, to secure his base

[malaise]

10. Apparently the coup wasn't political

Eff him

[bahboo]

11. fuck off, asshole....

[Maru Kitteh]

12. A bullshit "announcement," as I can personally guarantee they've been

Sending those antigen tests to senior living facilities all along. The federal govt. has been distributing Abbott BinaxNOW antigen tests to states to send to LTC facilities for over a year now.

There are about 85K residents in skilled nursing in Florida. At our facility in MT there are roughly 2-2.5 regular staff members per resident. So now we are up to roughly 300K people living at or staffing those facilities in FL.

His “almost” a million tests is adequate to test everyone twice a week for about 10 days. WOOP-DE-DOO. And these are tests he was already getting from the federal government anyway.

Effing poser.

[Ohio Joe]

13. 'How dare you politicize our coup attempt'

Fuck you Ron, go murder some more of you supporters.
