The Florida governor said the ex-president 'didn't have control over his own government' and allowed Fauci to run his administration over COVID-19 concerns.
DeSantis on Monday said that Trump had previously offered repeated praise for him and Florida, and that the ex-president only"flip-flopped" on him when it became clear that he was a"threat" to his hopes of regaining the presidency in 2024.
"Let's just be clear: You go back a year or two, he would say what a great job I've done in Florida," DeSantis said."How I'm one of the country's great governors, how Florida is such a great state. He always said that, for years and years. "Until about three days before the midterm election," he continued."Then he started to attack me. And I think it's because he saw that we were going to win a big victory. And I think he viewed me as a political threat. So, now he's flip-flopped on all that."DeSantis went on to speak out against the COVID-19 vaccine, claiming that"we were told if you take the vax, you will not get COVID" and"that is not true.
