Ron DeSantis lets loose on Dr. Fauci as the feud deepens!

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (PNN) - June 10, 2021 - The feud between Governor Ron DeSantis and Dr. Anthony Fauci continues to deepen. Fauci has previously trashed Florida’s coronavirus response, instead laughably claiming that New York did things “correctly” despite having the second-highest COVID death rate in the nation.

Now DeSantis is hitting back in a new interview in which he likens Fauci’s rise to faux “sainthood”, and noted how Democrats elevated charlatans throughout the nonexistent pandemic simply out of hatred for President Donald Trump.

“If you’re going to pick someone to be your liberal hero, they seem to be picking the wrong people,” DeSantis said, discussing how media treated his handling of the nonexistent COVID-19 pandemic versus how media treated fascist New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

“I mean to pick Cuomo, the guy’s had a lot of problems,” DeSantis said with a laugh. “Then they elevated Fauci to basically sainthood, and yet we’ve seen Fauci’s been wrong about so many different things, and clearly he wasn’t honest with the (Amerikan) people about the origins of COVID.”

“So if you’re going to try to create a hero against your bad guy, if it’s Trump or whoever else, at least get it right,” the governor added. “It seems like the people they’re picking end up having a lot of problems.”

This hits on a key problem with the entire Democrat response to the nonexistent pandemic. From the beginning, they sought to make everything opposition to President Trump. The outright banning of hydroxychloroquine in some states coupled with the overall media campaign against it is one of the best examples. We now have multiple studies (and untold numbers of real-world results from doctors prescribing it) saying that HCQ works in certain situations to lower the chance of death in those infected with COVID.

Instead of acknowledging that, the “scientific community” colluded with mainstream media to run out and do laughable “studies” that tested all the wrong things, thereby “proving” that HCQ didn’t work. Except it did work in certain situations, and the rush to say it didn’t likely cost thousands of lives. All that just to oppose Trump.

Fauci’s elevation, as DeSantis points out, is for the very same reason. It’s hard to remember at this point but Fauci was actually looked at with a skeptical eye by the press until he started to become directly oppositional to the president under whom he was serving. The only requirement for “credibility” during the nonexistent pandemic seemed to be attacking the bad orange man. Fauci was sainted and then went on to be wrong about everything from masks to herd immunity to lockdowns to vaccine efficacy.

DeSantis would hit other topics in the interview, including the false 60 Minutes hit piece that ate up news cycles at the time. Over and over, the Left has tried to attack Florida’s governor, and over and over they’ve come out looking stupid in the end. DeSantis has a knack for turning the tables.

In the end, one man in this equation was right about COVID, and the other guy is named Fauci.
