Florida Politics reports:
Florida politicians took to social media over the weekend to demand the Florida Senate deny the confirmation of recently installed Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo after news broke of a troubling interaction he had with an immunocompromised state lawmaker.
As detailed by Florida Politics, Democratic Sen. Tina Polsky of Boca Raton, who was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in August, asked Ladapo and his aides to leave her office last week after Ladapo repeatedly refused her request for him to wear a mask.
Ladapo was “very smug” and responded with “that’s OK” when Polsky told him she had a serious medical condition and didn’t feel comfortable speaking to him without a mask. As Ladapo was leaving, she said, he told her, “Sometimes I try to reason with unreasonable people for fun.”
Read the full article. There’s much more. As you can see in the final tweet below, despite outrage form both sides of the aisle, Florida’s cultiest cultist is on the attack against his own party. Ladapo, as had been widely reported, is affiliated with nutbag “demon semen” Dr. Stella Immanuel.
Appreciate the gesture but… Worth noting it was Surgeon General mtg w @TinaPolsky to garner her vote for his confirmation. She asked if he was vaccinated. He wasn’t. So she asked him to wear mask. He refused. Was condescending. Want to show leadership? Deny his confirmation. https://t.co/EsPmMufEf3

.@TinaPolsky has a right to be safe @ work, as all Floridians do. The Surgeon General’s actions call into serious question his ability to advise our state on public health policy (as well as his ability to simply be a decent, compassionate human being).

Senator @TinaPolsky has cancer and our SURGEON GENERAL wouldn’t put a mask on when asked in his meeting w/her.
She told him he that she has a serious medical issue & he didn’t care. How is that guy qualified to be our top medical official? https://t.co/FD2PnZJNHV

.@FLSurgeonGen was asked to leave Senator @TinaPolsky’s office for refusing to wear a mask in her presence even after being informed of her recent breast cancer diagnosis.
Totally classless. Totally unacceptable. Totally par for the course in @GovRonDeSantis’ administration. https://t.co/f0YjvpsiCG

SHAME on Simping Senator @WiltonSimpson for taking sides with leftist nutjob @TinaPolsky against our great pro-freedom Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo!
Pro-Tip for you Wilton: don’t attack our Governor’s appointees to simp for radical Leftists!https://t.co/Jg5lVwicVY pic.twitter.com/nTRmq16l03
