Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is being ridiculed on Twitter over comments he made regarding Home Depot, Walmart, and school reopenings.

"I'm confident if you can do Home Depot, if you can do Walmart, if you can do these things, we absolutely can do the schools," DeSantis said.

He cited his desire to "minimize this education gap that I think has developed" because of the coronavirus.

Twitter users were quick say that the experience of sitting in a classroom for eight hours a day is dissimilar from making a Home Depot run.

3. He needs to take 25 eight year olds into a Walmart all by himself

and see how well that goes.

4. There's definitely an education gap in Florida. DeSantis is living proof. n/t

5. Yeah cause classrooms usually have like 40 ft high ceilings ...

And a person density of like 1 per 300 square feet (and that's a busy Home Depot).

And you totally go there and hang out with the same people, for like 6+ hours, 5 days a week.

So much like school.

6. Yes he's really that stupid.

fuck you ron

7. He is a never ending source of embarrassment.

He can say whatever he wants. The reality is there won’t be enough bus drivers to get the kids to school or teachers to teach them if they get there. Florida teachers have put up with shit pay, shit support and shit respect for years. I think this will be the final straw.

8. Does he go to HD 7 hours a day, 5 days a week with 20 or 30 people close together?
