Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted states like New Jersey and California, who initially criticized his governor’s decision to reject school mask mandates, but are looking at lifting them.
"So when you start to see them kind of reevaluate or say all this, just understand this. The science didn't change – well, the medical science didn't change, the political science changed. They feel the heat. They know that voters have been tired of perpetual lockdown policies. They know that they have basically offered no off-ramp. They know that they're fixing to get whooped at the polls. So that's what is causing the epiphany.
But the fact of the matter is if they had looked at the actual science from the beginning, they would have known that this was something that Florida was right on.
Back in July, DeSantis signed an executive order that banned the enacting and enforcement of school mask mandates.
While most counties complied, a handful of counties resisted.
The White House response to Democrat governors now lifting mask mandates is hilariously awful.
