“We banned the masks in [Fla.] with the legislature with the Parents Bill of Rights and other actions,” DeSantis said.
Mask mandates weren’t “grounded in data [or] evidence… [It] was basically the current thing people would put in their Twitter profile a mask and a syringe… [It] was like their identity, and it was ridiculous.”
Likely referring to the CDC, federal health officials, and pharmaceutical companies, he said, “They lied to us about the MNRA shot. They said if you take it, you will not get COVID. That is false.”
“That is not true, and they continue to say even now when the evidence is so overwhelming. That’s not only not true but people that have multiple boosters, you’re definitely at risk of getting it [COVID]. [There’s] no question about that.”
He also pointed out how ideology plays over science.
“Time and time again you’ve seen ideology playing over data and evidence. Then what happens is they will say something like ‘six weeks of masks will end COVID.’ So that’s what they claim. It doesn’t happen,” he said.
“Then what they’ll do is they will move the goal posts and say, ‘well, only 95% wore it so…’ and they will constantly shift [their claims] because they will never admit their ideology was incorrect.”DeSantis called that “dangerous.”“That’s a problem with our society we’re grappling with and what I’ve said in the state of [Fla.] because we’ve taken on woke corporations, we’ve taken on ESG, obviously in the classroom, we’ve battled a lot of ideologies, but what I’ve said is that the state of […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
