Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Accused Of Disappearing As Omicron Variant Of Coronavirus Spreads Like Wildfire

The man who has been dubbed America's most hated governor, Ron DeSantis, proudly took credit for Florida's reduction in COVID cases a few months ago, even though he gave out unscientific advice, while acting as a lawyer pretending to be a scientist.

Now that the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has been sweeping America, producing a record 500,000 cases in one day, with Florida registering horrific numbers, DeSantis has disappeared. Don't take my word for it. Orange County mayor (Orlando, Florida),  Jerry Demings, has slammed DeSantis for hiding and not returning calls during the new outbreak.

Demings stated to the press, "Our residents, all Florida residents, should be outraged and they should ask the question, ‘Where is our state? Where is our governor? Where is Ron DeSantis now?’ When is the last time you saw the governor do a press briefing on COVID-19?'"

And to think DeSantis wants to be President of the United States. He'd hide in the White House for weeks and months when anything bad happened and refuse to talk to the rest of the government. He is not presidential material. He is not even gubernatorial material. He is simply not good under pressure.

Florida mayor: DeSantis has been MIA during omicron surge

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The mayor of one of Florida’s largest counties on Tuesday blasted Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, saying he has been missing in action during the latest wave of COVID-19, as some counties brought back mask mandates for government workers and other municipalities opened up new testing sites in response to overwhelming demand.

The mayor of Orange County, home to Orlando, said local governments had been forced to figure out on their own, without help from the state, how to respond to the omicron variant that has rapidly overtaken the delta variant as the dominant strain of the coronavirus in Florida.

Florida hit a new record for daily cases last weekend, with the state reporting 32,850 new cases on Saturday. The state reported more than 29,000 new cases on Tuesday.
