Trump Roasts “Disloyal” DeSantis For Anti-Vax Stance

Politico reports:

On Saturday, Trump took his sharpest swings at DeSantis to date, accusing the governor of “trying to rewrite history” over his response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Trump said DeSantis, who has been openly skeptical about government efforts to vaccinate people against the virus, “promoted the vaccine as much as anyone.” He praised governors who did not close down their states, noting that DeSantis ordered the closure of beaches and business in some parts of the state.

“When I hear that he might run I think it’s very disloyal,” Trump said. As for the polls showing DeSantis beating him in key nominating states, Trump was dismissive. “He won’t be leading, I got him elected,” he said. “I’m the one that chose him.”
