TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Staggering from a string of messaging gaffes, dire coronavirus numbers, a tough encounter with the Miami press and more mainstream media piling on, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is retreating to his safe space: "The Sean Hannity Show."
On Tuesday, Hannity used the lead-in to his DeSantis interview to trash Democratic politicians, chiefly the governor’s pandemic nemesis, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and his early decision to send elderly coronavirus-positive patients back to nursing homes. Hannity plugged Florida’s death rate of 17 per 100,000 people. He said the average age of new patients is 21 and that the state’s Covid-19 fatality rate is only 1.8 percent.
“The uptick in cases that we are now seeing in Florida is nothing compared to the deaths that were caused by Cuomo and [Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy and [Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen] Whitmer’s nursing home scandals,” Hannity said. Despite the TV spin, “the metrics are not favorable today,” said Jill Roberts with the University of South Florida’s College of Public Health. “This unfortunately is an early indication that severe cases are occurring and that increased death rates will follow.”
DeSantis appeared on Hannity after a press conference in Miami, where reporters pressed him on contact tracing, the process by which health care officials determine where a person contracted the coronavirus.
These people are almost as responsible as Benedict Donald for the spread of COVID-19!
Get Trump in there and you have a Lying Threesome.
Of course he did because that's the most Hannity thing ever.
Both lying as always
Typical Republicans, avoiding facts, cherry picking what makes them feel good. Sean Hannity is an entertainer. His words are useless if you want real information.
All Trump groupies turn to seanhannity for validation. Sadly, so many people confuse this for news. Including our SupremeLoser
No surprise since FOX is a propaganda network.
Both full of shit.
Stop spreading lies & inflicting fear on people. I rebuke you Satan! More cases due to more testing. Fatality rate is so low & more people recover for covid-19 than die from it. Majority of people who die from it had preexisting conditions, so the virus wasn't really the cause.
Two liars!
Governor should face recall he’s under Trumps thumb
What will Sean do come January, besides bitch for 4 years.........
Just wonder which turd goes down and which one floats back up after flushing the toilet.
Expose them on national TV
Florida elected a sick trump puppet.
If you're dumb enough to listen go ahead and believe the deception.
I've heard of selective memory, but selective bullshit
This IS sick. Shame on them.
Two clowns that no one believes
Keep doing what you're doing because it cements your reputation as FakeNewsMedia
This idiot governor is done. Too many lives were lost and put at risk because of his Trumpist hasty decision to first ignore the pandemic then he decided to open too early when he had no choice but to accept the pandemic. Loser!
🤣🤣🤣
realDonaldTrump RonDeSantisFL TuckerCarlson The covididiotinchief has a stranglehold on our Governor...a promising political career is turning into nothing more than another member of cultofthecovididots
For all the complaining conservatives do about the media, they actually consume straight up party propaganda like Fox.
Abject Failure upon a governor and host to see the cases rise everyday and yet deny...the...obvious..
'It's just going to go away.'
Hannity and desantis a match made in heaven!
Are we surprised? This is coming from a Trumper who thinks reopening schools is like going to Home Depot!!!
DeSantis is a liar.
No shelter he’s an excellent governor many Floridians love him
Unsurprising, and deplorable(s).
There’s got to be a “lying” sign that automatically starts flashing when untruths are detected...like a lie detector. Install it on all cable news/opinion/entertainment programs & especially politicians.
Are you serious Hannity plugged Florida’s death rate of 17 per 100,000 people The numbers were partially correct. Florida’s Covid-19 death rate as of Wednesday was 18 per 100,000 people
And you never play with numbers.
Oh come on...call it what it is, seanhannity RonDeSantisFL colluded and are clearly lying to Floridians and America. FAIL. MiamiHerald
Florida is 2 weeks away from everyone living there knowing someone who died from COVID19. DeSantis will be running for reelection with that around his neck. Hopefully Florida voters learn to not elect morons.
