On Thursday while opening a monoclonal antibody therapy clinic in Pasco County, Gov. Ron DeSantis turned his attention from COVID-19 to the White House.
DeSantis aired grievances yet again about a perceived “lack of leadership” from President Joe Biden, showing that even at an event focused on the virus, the national political fray is never too far away.
“You look around the country, you look around the world right now. I mean, we have Americans that are just being hung out to dry in Afghanistan. We’ve got billions of dollars of military equipment that’s just basically being gifted to terrorist groups. Things that the taxpayers paid for. Things that our men and women used,” DeSantis said.
The Governor then turned his gaze from the Asian land war to a conflict closer to home.
“You look at the border. People just pouring in. They don’t even tell you where they’re bringing these people in. We figured out they dump people in Jacksonville and some of these other places,” DeSantis said. “It’s totally out of control. We’ve never seen anything like what we’re seeing now.”
“You look at inflation. The prices are going out of control, particularly gas prices, that’s putting a huge hamper on working people, having to pay so much when they’re going to get gas,” DeSantis said, saying that rather than deal with these issues, the Biden administration would rather “force” kindergarteners and first-graders to wear masks.
DeSantis expanded on themes he road tested on Fox News’ Hannity show Wednesday night.
DeSantis said Biden was “obsessed” with masking grade schoolers in both spots, though there wasn’t complete overlap between the Thursday remarks and the cable news preview.
DeSantis in the TV hit suggested America’s enemies would exploit the Biden presidency.
“You know who’s looking at this? China, Russia, North Korea, all of our adversaries are taking the measure of Joe Biden. And they see that this is not somebody who is capable of leading with conviction on the world stage,” DeSantis asserted. “So they are going to do everything they can, as long as he is President, to take advantage of that. And I think we’re in for a rocky three and a half years, as long as he is President.”

Like what? The Southern Border? The Kabul debacle? Dude won’t even answer questions. That’s two briefings in a row. Hey that C17, shades of Saigon, that was five days ago. Biden is a complete disaster. That giggling side kick has disappeared. Where did she go? We need real leadership. Someone that can communicate without teleprompters and cue cards. DeSantis would be light years better than the Dumb and Dumber show.

You still sound like a Faux talking head son.
I suggest you start reading AP or Reuters to begin looking like you have any idea of reality.

I retired quite early for my age from a very successful career and live in a nice neighborhood close to a beautiful beach in a fantastic city.
I only do what I want to now.

Good for you Alex. I’m very successful myself. I would never trade my life experiences for yours. I have had quite a life and most of my friends are envious for what I did in my youth and what I do now.

You might yet end up ok after all.

DeSantis loves selling fear. Fear of Immigrants, inflation, enemies taking advantage of us, government intervention, … all valid points to be discussed but not under the pretext of fear.
I want a leader that doesn’t lead with fear-mongering but with aspiration

You gotta be kidding.

Abandonment on Afghanistan, Inflation 7% yoy.
Border abandoned with 2 million illegals and 20 % Covid per DHS. Chris Wallace/Collins. 10 million jobs, no workers and more. Team Biden makes American’s Gov A giant! He can walk Straight from Tallahassee to WH after the re elect! You both are clueless. DeSantis the best!

August 19, 2021 at 4:51 pm
I would still like to see the sources for your statement that 20% of the immigrants have Covid. My question is, once DHS determines that an immigrant has Covid do they send them back to their county of origin? And please, as you often do, don’t say I don’t have the right to ask a question of this type.

Alex, you are the middle leg in the group. You are obsessed with fake news and you clearly have failed your Manchurian kiddie class.
Everything I’ve shared is factual.
It’s been a rough 4 days for you.
DeSantis on the March, up 6 to 10 pts in new pols. New strategic monoclonal efforts, strike team like the naval officer he is, brilliant Yale/Harvard Grad. Team Biden is failing miserably. Economy, inflation, lost jobs, complete disarray at the border. You are a failure Alex.
But keep on telling team joe to attack America’s Governor. They’ve made him the Giant in Republican Party and conservative movement.
As for you, you are on the curb.
Camelot at Tallahassee with the DeSantis family.

Now I’m no economist, but how exactly does one effect inflation so negatively in just 8 months of their administration? Isn’t that a long-term consequence of economic policies? Putting aside the whole WE’RE IN A SUPPLY CRUNCH DUE TO A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!
Ed
August 19, 2021 at 4:16 pm
Does the name Jimmy Carter ring a bell with you?
Tom
August 19, 2021 at 4:16 pm
No, not at All.
Two fold, we were going to have some inflation regardless, 3 or 4%. The reckless spending the last 6 Months is fueling it further. They are loading up another $3.5 billion shortly. On top of the billions spent. Yes, we have supply chain issues which does not help. Putting it this way he and his minions are not doing anything to curtail it. The Fed has carte
Blanche as well. It’s only going to increase by years end.
Besides Biden, Alex and Tjb you can’t blame Trump anymore. Biden owns it like he owns Afghanistan now. Disaster. It will be double digits by years end. Lastly, inflation torches the people’s that the Dums claim their
Care about. The rate of surpasses take home pay. Unlike Trumos 3.5% unemployment,Rising tide lifts all boats. Blue collar and lower middle class were enjoying The best of times.
Low inflation and strong earnings.

Inflation has been less than 2.5% for the past ten years and the current rate is high but economists (not politicians creating unfounded fear) are stating the uptick is because doing the lockdown people were not spending money as normal and now there is a huge influx of spending that increase inflation. Economist believe that this uptick is only temporary. When Biden took office, the unemployment rate was 6.8%, This July payrolls jobs increase 943,000 as the unemployment rate slides to 5.4%,
Tom
August 19, 2021 at 6:06 pm
It ain’t 3.5% now, It was 3.5% before pandemic. You are hiding In numbers to protect joe.
Inflation was announced 2 weeks ago at 7.7, year over year. Get a grip Tjb you partisan hack. Liars lie and facts are facts.
You are out of of your mind if you don’t understand severe increase of all products across the board in cost!
There has been an explosion In prices. The economists hope it will. I recall the bout of inflation and it is severe once out. Until the fed tapers it won’t settle and the Dems are hell bent on making us Argentina. The 3.5 billion coming won’t help, You are an apologist. It won’t save u, Alex & team Biden.
5.4% my ass, the low in February of 20 was 3.5%. U don’t get to pick the metrics! inflation crushes low, poor and middle class earners. Getting 4% increase doesn’t help when u have 5,6 or 7% inflation. U can’t put lipstick on this and Afghanistan.

Nice try Tom. Straight from Fox News who gets most of their financial data from the Heritage Foundation. It’s never accurate and numbers are cherrypicked then blasted out as fact so that people like you whose brains have been scrubbed suck it all in.
Keep watching Tucker he’ll fact you up.

Speaking of no clue.
Alex, you don’t know anything about anything literally. Just a Manchurian bot.
Unemployment was 3.5% Jan/Feb of 20. It’s 5.5% now, over ten million jobs available.
Inflation, year over year over 8.2%.

So DeathSantis continues to blow out the same garbage that the writers at Fox News have written for him. He has nobody on his staff smart enough to validate anything. Just like the Buffoon, he’s been campaigning every month since being elected. I loved it when 1 reporter asked him about contact tracing and the fact that his “Open” state has led to higher infections in other states since people traveled to this state thinking it’s a safe place to be?
Just think if he opened Covid vaccine spots and helped other states reach Herd status?
Instead his fat face is on Fox telling the same lie night after night on Fox news.

Dumb ass cocoon liberals.

3.5% unemployment Feb/20. Fact.
Over 10 million jobs now. Fact!
Such idiots. Aged, you brought some more kiddie college Manchurians.
LMAO. Border is fine, Afghanistan is fine, and Economy is fine. What a joke. Talk about fake news. Watch Stephanopoulos, POTUS is lost. But he made America’s Governor a giant! Good going. LMAO

“We’ve got billions of dollars of military equipment that’s just basically being gifted to terrorist groups. Things that the taxpayers paid for. Things that our men and women used”
Maybe we should’ve taken notes from the Russians? Putin would’ve been a big help. Why doesn’t DeSantis deputize some state troopers to go over there and grab said equipment? Or he could just roll out a Regeneron site and declare mission accomplished.
