DeSantis Surfaces To Accept Church Group’s Award For Lack Of COVID Restrictions, Refuses To Take Questions

January 1, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

Miami’s ABC News affiliate reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke at a public event in South Florida on New Year’s Eve. It happened Friday night at Miami Baptist Church in West Kendall. DeSantis has not spoken recently about COVID-19 despite the record numbers of cases seen across the state. When approached by Local 10 News’ Amy Viteri, one of DeSantis’ aides blocked her from reaching the governor and said he was having a private moment. DeSantis did not answer any questions.

Tonight, I was honored to receive the Defender of Freedom award at “Let Us Worship” in Miami.

In Florida, we will protect the right to worship and won’t let anyone shut you down. pic.twitter.com/8f8HZR7D3X

What is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis doing about a massive Covid surge?

NOTHING.

He emerged from 13 days of seclusion to tell reporters that the event to accept a church group’s award for lack of covid restrictions, which on his official calendar, is “private.”#WhereIsRon https://t.co/F0J5Zabz4c
