Florida governor Ron DeSantis scolds students for wearing masks

Ron DeSantis had strong words for a group of students at the University of South Florida who were wearing face masks before a press conference. The Republican governor for Florida asked them to take their masks off, saying it was 'Covid theatre'

Only America could simultaneously be the most powerful country in history and the most universally mocked for its leaders

It's fine to not have a mask mandate, but it's not okay to shame people either when they DO where a mask. Freedom of choice goes both ways, Mr. DeSantis. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

This is the first time these children were given a choice in two years. Great to see

The kids are wearing masks because they’re parents wear masks in the car by themselves.

[hueykratos]

The people you elect really speaks volumes 🤷🏾‍♂️

[nevilnevs]

If they want to wear it then what is the problem...

[MrAndrewCreech]

You know, Ron, you don't need to wear that tie. Honestly, you're not doing a thing. You've got to stop with the governing theater.

Love how Democrats would rather get mad at this than at other Democrat "Leaders" who would impose mandates and not even follow their own rules

[M_SC]

So, they want the right to wear what they want, but they also want to shame other people into wearing what they want.
Can they stop lying and being hypocritical for one minute? Seems like they can’t

Notice how he didn't implement a mandate saying you cant wear masks. Instead, he allows the students to make their own decisions

[californiadragyn]

That’s not a “meltdown”. Seemed pretty calm to me

[halodisciple]

If DeSantis was truly a champion of individual liberties as he says he is, he would respect a person's choice to wear a mask.

[palmsofdestin]

He is not scolding the students. He's just saying they don't need to be part of the psychosis if they don't want to

[duckyloudiva]

He is too freaking controlling, they are not your kids desanctimonious

[rricci]

This video is the prosecutor's key evidence of why DeSantis will no longer be known as Governor DeSantis by 2028. Instead, he will be rightfully known as President DeSantis.

"stop with this covid theater" exactly

[PWNINSWAGMASTER]

I wont act is if it wasnt a little rude the way he phrased it, but this CERTAINLY debunks the idea that DeSantis’s COVID policy was to score political points. This is as honest as it gets.

[anthonyviteri]

No one should be required to wear a mask. Outside of that, let the people who want to have one on do so.

[jdmmg]

What a horrible human being. A shame he's still around.

[johaniojo]

What a despicable man, to use his office's power to bully students ; disgusting
