DeSantis says he doubts reports of Florida ventilators request
Source: The Hill
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he is doubtful of reports that Florida requested 300 ventilators even as a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed the request.
I have not heard about that, so I have to check to see if thats true or not, DeSantis told ABC News affiliate Local 10 after they reported the Florida Health Departments request for 300 ventilators from the federal government.

If the nightly news channel tells them otherwise, then they are "fake news". The frightening thing is that leaders like DeSantis KNOW this, and use it, more and more.

We treated 2020 as a big war. It wasn't. It was the first battle we won in an ongoing war. 2022 will be the one we really need badly to win. Seeing all these "late adopters" is heartening, too. It means they are starting to think critically in local politics and ignoring the RW party cant. We have to give Biden/Harris a working Congress.
Off year elections usually go to the also ran party. We have to bring out a bigger vote in 2022. Then we get ready for 2024 when there may be a chance to elect a President Harris.

(2,771 posts)He knows the request has been made. He knows masks and distancing help. He knows vaccines work which is why he is fully protected. He knows his policies are sickening Floridians. He knows school children are entering the picture now. HE DOES NOT CARE! He is willingly building his career on the backs of his ill constituents. He is that selfish, that evil, that much of a criminal. Dont allow him to be painted as down a rabbit hole. He knows what hes doing.

(45,534 posts)It sounds like hospitals in Florida requested it directly from HHS based on their capacity forecasts and don't have to go through the governor, who is in blatant denial on the situation in his state.
