The scientist who said she was fired by Gov. DeSantis for refusing to censor Florida's Covid-19 numbers says she’s hoping to unseat another high-profile Republican politician in the state — Rep. Gaetz.

"Congressman Gaetz faces no criminal charges," his spokesman, Harlan Hill, said in an email to NBC News."Ms. Jones cannot say the same.

"Responsible for helping to create and updating Florida’s Covid-19 dashboard, Jones was fired from the Department of Health in May 2020 for,That was a reference to DeSantis’ plan to reopen Florida even though the pandemic was raging through the state. Most of the nearly 38,000 Covid-19 deaths and 2.3 million confirmed cases in the state were reported after May 2020, according to

Republicans on here trying to discredit her so bad, Thats means she’s telling the truth and they big madddd

Gaetz hopefully will be too busy facing a trial to run for office or he may be in a cell by then

Yah, pretty sure she will be a convicted felon long before the election. She damn sure won’t be a scientist or doctor or some unbelievable crap like that. Did she even graduate from college?…asking for a friend.

She’s not a scientist

Unseat another?

Isn’t she a statistician

Working for their health department does not automatically make one a scientist. Notice she’s not referred to as a doctor and no explanation of what she does aside from data entry.

She’s not a scientist

If NBC news reported this, it must be a lie

kanyewest has a better chance at becoming president.

Hey NBC - how can anyone take you seriously when your headline is riddled with inaccuracies?

report this as fake or misleading

The only thing she blew was one of her students at FSU

She isn't a 'scientist' is she? She didn't even have access to the data she claimed she was ordered to alter, did she?

NBC fake news produces fake scientist to make fake claims

This must be a parody account

You’re shitin’ us. Right? 🤥🤥🤥🤥

She is very credible. Good job NBC!!!

“Scientist”

NBC=FAKE NEWS

She’s not a scientist and she wasn’t fired for leaking numbers. She was fired for reporting false information. Facts, please.

She isn't a scientist or doctor. This is misinformation

Scientist?

lol

Only if she was a scientist

Did you see her degree?

Good for her

She is less of a scientist than Jill Biden is a doctor. And Jill is not a doctor.

Did someone at NBC news have a bet at how many falsehoods and lies they could fit in one tweet?

“I am science!”

She’s not a scientist. This is ridiculous. Her claims have been debunked.

She lied and now she's running for office? 😬 What the.... Is happening

What are you trying to accomplish with these obvious falsehoods?

Enemy of the people

Anyone on your web team mobile test this link beforehand? Because…. I’m just a sales guy and know that’s the first move… 🤦‍♂️

Hasnt she recently been indicted?

More FAKE NEWS.

By whatever standard NBC uses, I am not only a scientist but probably a Nobel Prize winner.

Hahahaha!

Did you guys fire all your fact checkers?

Scientist? Wtf is NBC doing?

Please God take this 'news' organization seriously 🤡

Not a scientist

How embarrassing for you.

There is a Gov. DeSantis - that's the only thing true about this statement.

Wait a second… isn’t censoring something like that extremely wrong?

Lol all lies made up by a liberal

Lies

I’m more of a marathon runner than Rebekah Jones is a scientist. ChristinaPushaw

You lost me when your headline falsely called her a “scientist.” Where’s your internal fact-checkers?

She currently lives in MD

🎶memories... in the corners of my miiiiind.... Misty watercolor memories.... Of the way we were🎶

jack this tweet is misinformation

Liars

1) not a scientist 2) wasn’t fired for “refusing to censor Florida’s COVID-19 numbers” 3) she hasn’t “unseated” anyone, let alone a high-profile Republican. Other than that, this is some solid work, NBC.

Lol

csiemaszko

Matt Gaetz should be unseated but Rebekah Jones is a fraud and there is zero reason she should be given a podium and be at the forefront of such movement.

she is NOT a Scientist .. she is a data/ website maker.. and has a CRIMINAL record.. from before this incident.. she went against her employer... then stole thousands of peoples personal information.. she deserves to rot in prison .. she is not a HERO.. for the love of Pete

Rebekah Jones is a data analyst. She was fired from Florida State University (where she was an instructor) for having an affair with her student. She was charged with 3 counts of cyberstalking her student, who filed a restraining order against her. This is not your role model.

This entire tweet is false.

How is this tweet even still up? It has blatant lies right in the first sentence. This is embarrassing

She’s proven beyond the benefit of any doubt she’s a LIAR and she’s not a scientist but I’m sure NBC knows that. So why are they telling us lies? That’s the question to answer.

Funny enough she is not a scientist and it is not what she was fired for FakeNews

What is going on at NBC? There’s not one credible fact in this headline.

Not a scientist.

So left wing conspiracy theorist wants to replace a right conspiracy theorists. Florida being Florida again

'scientist'

Isn’t she going to jail?

This woman is a con artist who was recently suspended from Twitter because of the false information she pushed. You don’t have to like Gaetz to recognize this fact.

She's trying to capitalize on her baseless accusation and the wave of support she's received from the mainstream 'media.' She's a liar and a criminal. She will fit right in with a (D) next to her name.

Two enlistments during the Vietnam Era and never dreamed that one day I would witness treasonous GOP thugs assault our nation's Capitol. Republicans seem just OK with it. 7/18/2015 Trump publicly insulted POWs and veterans. I have voted for some Republicans. Never again!

Absolutely

I hope FBI takes care of that for her

I think woman can do as good work as man did; may good than some man politician

Lock him up!

Get it done !!!

Hell yes!😉

“Jones was charged in December with hacking into the state's computer system, a charge she denies.” - has she been to trial yet?
