It's an excuse to keep black and brown people from public places. Liberals are doing it across the country. If the lie about white gop men wasn't bad enough now they'll have to tell another lie in San Francisco and New York City where there might be 2 white gop men in both.

VERY PREDICTABLE... IN THE NAME OF SAFETY THEY WILL USE ANY TYPE OF SITUATION TO APPROVE A MANDATE. AND WE BEING SO FOOLISH WILL JUST NOD OUR HEADS LIKE BOBBLE HEADS..

I’ll call bullshit on that. It seems the only time ABC has a positive spin on Florida is when a hurricane can help out it WorldNews and GMA ratings

Good data research. Now can you tell us how many illegals were shipped to various states in the last 7 months.

The ONLY reason you are reporting this is because the Governor is Republican and the crisis at the border is getting worse. REPORT WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE BORDER!!

1. Was this prior to or after the CDC adjusted FL's numbers to actually be accurate? 2. What are the 30 states and the populations of these states that you are comparing? Not saying it is or is not true, but really its just a headline to gain attention at this point.

DeSantis must feel so proud!

Dean: Covid-19 will end mini-Trump's Florida career like it ended Trump's presidencyAs Florida's Covid-19 caseload breaks the state's own all-time records, doctor and former governor Howard Dean appraises the troubled record of Florida Governor DeSantis, giving him an 'F' on substance. Dean says Desantis, who has styled himself after Donald Trump, will find Covid-19 dealing him the same political fate as Trump in this interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber. (The interview was part of a longer reported segment documenting DeSantis' record.) Where was Dean when Michigan and New York were getting clobbered by COVID and infecting/killing the elderly? Exactly!! Clear shot to President then. Trump’s footsteps. Great!😳 Kinda makes you want to scream, doesn’t it Howie?

He’s the kind of guy who if he were captain on the Titanic while it was sinking he would still have the midnight buffet. Hmm. A Governor that actual uses logic and rational thought. So Dean and all the needle dicks need to figure out a way to take him down. Ain’t gonna happen. DeSantis 2024!
