Grabbit's on the clock now.

Gov. DeSantis said on Fox, “we’ll issue pardons … for any Floridian that may have outstanding infractions for things like masks and social distancing.”

The Sun Sentinel reports,

“Until then, the governor issued an order Thursday that stops prosecutions of most businesses and individual for two months, giving the governor time to prepare a full pardon.

The order does not apply to assisted-living facilities, hospitals or other health care centers…

DeSantis made his comments about pardons Wednesday during a Fox News segment featuring a pair of Broward gym owners being prosecuted for allowing patrons to exercise without masks.

“It’s not even right to be wearing masks while exercising,” DeSantis said. He said the restrictions should have been “advisory, not punitive.”

DeSantis appeared alongside Michael and Jillian Carnevale, who were arrested last summer, at the height of the pandemic, for continually not requiring patrons to wear masks. The couple, owners of Fitness 1440 gym in Plantation, were charged with violating the county’s emergency order, which itself echoed the order DeSantis had in place at the time."

Will Gov. Grabbitt follow suit?
