The governor’s strategy may seem strange, but it’s the path to victory in Iowa.
with conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, the Florida governor attacked Trump harshly on COVID and crime. DeSantis has long claimed to be the nemesis of Anthony Fauci and his legions of maskers, jabbers, and shutdown commissars, but he’s now directly blaming Trump for “Fauciism”:
The difference between 2015 and ’16 and now is I, as chief executive of Florida, and he, as chief executive of the United States — we both face COVID-19. And we both responded in the way we did. He responded by elevating Anthony Fauci and really turning the reins over to Dr. Fauci. And I think to terrible consequences for the United States. I was the leader in this country in fighting back against Fauci. We bucked him every step of the way starting in April of 2020 — whether it’s the schools, the businesses, the mandates — and our state has never done better as a result. We’re No. 1 in migration, No. 1 for growth, and we continue to see great things happen.
And it’s not just the alleged assaults on freedom during the pandemic that DeSantis is blaming on Trump. It’s everything that followed. DeSantis said: We all have to sit here today in 2023, look back at March of 2020, and say Fauciism was wrong. Fauciism was destructive. Fauciism has set us on this path with the CARES Act and the Fed printing money, creating inflation and creating some of the economic problems that we have today.
