DeSantis Ridicules Fears About Monkeypox [VIDEO]

Politico reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday attempted to downplay anxiety over monkeypox, saying that politicians and the media have overblown the severity of the disease.  “I am so sick of politicians, and we saw this with Covid, trying to sow fear into the population,” DeSantis said during a press conference near Orlando. “We’re not doing fear.”

DeSantis also blasted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, for declaring a state of emergency over the outbreak, saying he was convinced it was a move to restrict people from freedom. “They’re going to abuse those emergency powers to restrict your freedom,” Desantis said. “I guarantee you that’s what will happen.”

Of course Ron DeSantis thinks any concern over monkeypox is overblown. DeSantis: “I am so sick of politicians, and we saw this with COVID, trying to sow fear into the population. We’re not doing fear.” DeSantis obviously doesn’t know any gay men. The fear is real.
