Ron Desantis should be held accountable for his actions and should be sued for mis informing the people in his state we need these officials arrested

[zaria]

Floridians need to Recall Gov DeSantis.

Schools are a huge risk. In Brisbane Australia we went from no cases (so no masks) to 25 in 48 hours after 1 school girl caught it. this Delta spreads fast. Mask up

[sherrylang]

DeSantis isn’t helping the situation he’s not a Health Care Provider!! He’s not a He’s not fit for his Office as Governor!!!

[eddybolta]

Desantes should be arrested and held accountable, people arw dyeing on his watch

[richardkeller]

Make Desantis send his kids to a public school instead of a private school with very small class sizes.

[tomslick]

Why doesn't Broward County sue the DeSantis instead of backing down?

[JusticeFALL-USA]

DeSantis is completely disconnected from his constituents and is turning his back on Floridians. Where is the Republican leadership? HE DEMONSTRATES THAT HE DON'T CARE! It is shameful, "VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE." This is a political stance and has to stop.

[peterdunlop]

Congratulations, Ron Deathsantis! Florida is now Nr.1 Covid state, in America!

[carlrobert]

Many of his supporters won’t be around to vote for him again.

[tropicalcatdetective]

As a non-American, it's astounding to me that this kind of reckless governance doesn't hurt such politicians in the polls, AND that its even done deliberately as a political calculation due to the fact it won't cost them any votes come election time.

[MarcF.Nielssen]

The American Fraternity of Sociopaths is ecstatic with joy at these news.

[hattifoster]

He needs to care about the people of Florida and its children but doesn't. He only cares about getting elected and having Trumps nod.
Extremely sad 😥

[junaustria]

DeSantis can now be compared to Rev Jim Jones.

[bitameah]

You can hear the exhaustion and frustration in his voice.

[nooneimportant]

Jail de santis for putting peoples lives in danger....utterly disgusting

[gwen]

It appears DeSantis is NOT doing his JOB to protect the people in his state!

[chrisedon]

I am astounded that one man is able to control all decisions at the detriment of the people even when totally incompetent

[jimbranscomb]

I want to see the headline that says, "Florida governor hospitalized with covid", come Delta variant, do your thing

[charlestidwell]

When the Delta Variant, gets loose in schools, across the nation, what happens next?
